An old Honda 200R 4 stroke from back in the day when they first released the "Pro-Link" suspension. She is old, but runs well.

Nice
the 4 Strokes are really coming around. My bike has tons of power everywhere, in fact Im grounded from it for a little bit for pulling a wheely in 3rd gear going by my house to the trails.

No dirtbike since my 93 Honda XR 80. I got into quads and now I have a 2002 Honda 400 ex with tons of mods. I hardly ever get to ride so I'm gonna stick with that for a while. Otherwise I would have a newer 450.

Fast Fun, what trails do you ride up there?

Chris, That's cool that you have the old Maicos. The CR500AF is a nice custom built bike. I have a 99 CR250 that I race in vet (40 plus). Recently moved to PA from Ohio and have only practiced here. Lots of nice tracks. This is AMA district 6. Seems to be getting harder to find places to ride that are not actually race tracks. We had a state forest in Ohio that was 10 minutes from my house, but I have not found anything like that in southeast PA yet. Love to see some pics of everyones bikes. I have enjoyed riding and racing dirt bikes since I was 10 years old.

I have a friend in S. Jersey and he keeps telling me of tons of places out there to ride- big, wide-open spaces and lots of woods. You must have lived close to Wayne. Great riding down there. There's a place I keep hearing about in WVA called the Hatfield-McCoy Trail. Supposedly it has several hundred miles of trails crossing a big chunk of the state.

I raced Maicos when I was younger and still have my 74.5 440 that I bought new with my paper route money. The CR500AF is a killer. It'll tear your a$$ right off the seat and leave without you if you don't treat the throttle with respect.

Chris,
That Maico is Beautiful. Fox Airshocks to boot! Brings back great memories. I raced Suzuki's in the 100 class (remember that?!) and 125 B class while I was in high school. In college I raced open bikes. I had a 78 YZ400, 80 KX420 and an 82 465 Suzuki (my favorite!) As cool as the new four strokes are, It's tough to beat the rush of riding an open class 2-stroke!
