What I have to get my jollies now the Sportivo is gone

[mtbrider]

Hi, Been a while since I have been around and have been missing the Sportivo.

But to get my dose of fun I am now into vintage motocross.

I purchased a 1975 MX400 in racing yellow. For those that know it should be white.

Here is a couple of pics of me from Sunday.

Hope all the Sportivo people are still around and having fun.

Awesome! 1975 and it looks brand spanking new!

Motorbikes are so cool..

Hi Trev,

That's a really tidy bike. It reminds me of my dad's Hodaka back in the 70s. :)

And don't worry, the Sportivo is being looked after. Now enjoying Eibach pro-kit, fake TRD grill and Philips Crystal Vision indicators.

Geez, I bet you have to pedal rooley fast on that there thingy!

The old rolla is looking great. I like the grill. Yeah I remember the Hodaka bikes. They were produced by a subsidiary of Shell.

Mate had a 100 Dirt Squirt which I bought off him and was promptly made to take it back by my mum.

You should have kept the HODAKA there is one on evil bay for $6500 which seems crazy as I think I only paid $250 for the one I purchased.
