@skutfarcus : I started on a tiny Honda, an XR-75 was next. A guy down the street was one of the top amateur motocross riders in the US. He had a motocross track in the massive woods behind his house. He had a sponsorship from Husqvarna. Got to ride his practice 125, but no one got to ride the race ready 250 & 500. Haven't ridden one since.
