Bike Shop By Clutch Roberts Vintage Racing After racing and riding my 1995 Honda CR250 a few times, I realized it wasn't what I wanted. I really enjoyed racing my friend's 1970 CZ250 and wanted to get a vintage race bike to compete on. I also rode the CR250 in the desert and think I would be happier with a new bike there. With the red sticker program ending I plan to buy a new red sticker bike to keep for a long time. First order of business was to sell the Honda. After posting, I exchanged messages with an interested guy. He fixes up older bikes better than new and resells them. He gave me his Instagram name to see some of his work and I was shocked to find out it was David Vuillemin, motocross star of the 1990's and 2000's. He came to my house, so I had to call him the Cobra as soon as he walked in (his old racing nickname). Was super fun talking to him about bikes and life. He consults with Yamaha rider Dylan Fernandis and fixes up bikes from his era. He bought the bike and I set out to find a vintage MX race bike. To be eligible for vintage racing, the bike must be model year 1974 or older. While I love the European bikes, I settled on a 1973 Yamaha MX360. These are very capable and durable racing bikes. Of course I bought it cheap and will spend a lot of time and money fixing it up. I bought it from a guy in Long Beach who had easily "I'm now becoming over 50 bikes, mostly Yamahas with a few Bultacos, Suzukis and Triumphs. Nothing newer than 1974 and not one in running condition. I spent a couple hours looking through his stuff and getting tips on old bikes. I'm now becoming friends with Bikebuzzard on Ebay and helping DC Plastics fund their 401k account. At least the MX360 will look good! I'm glad it shifts on the left, as my Husky 400 shifts on the right and gives me foot dyslexia. Just to keep my life interesting I am also rebuilding the engine on my 1960's Triumph 500cc twin. My most recent lesson is on sludge traps (Google it) I am interested in setting up the Triumph to race friends with Bikebuzzard on eBay and helping DC Plastics fund their 401k account."

These guys use old bikes on tracks much smoother than vintage motocross. Think mounds instead of jumps. Last month I wrote about rigid neck braces and how much good they can do. A few months ago, I wrote about the big vintage race I attended where I spoke to old stars, including 125 SX champ Todd Dehoop. When I saw Todd on the starting line, I remember easily reading his name on his jersey's upper back. Thinking back, he didn't wear a neck brace or hard chest/shoulder pads. I just read a report that Todd was badly injured in an MX crash in Florida. He broke a vertebra in his neck and is in very bad shape. Let's pray for Todd and seriously think about wearing all the protection we can. I always wear a neck brace on tracks and after a minute, I forget I have it on. E
