The 2012 Hell On Wheels Rally & Vintage Scramble is coming up this June and it was perfect timing to stumble across this '74 Yamaha MX 100 a few weeks back. It doesn't run, but that shouldn't be a problem, I blew up my MX 360 two weeks before last years H.O.W. Rally and still got it running for the race!! Hahahaha... so atleast I have a few months to get this little 2 smoker running for the Mini Class!! Check out the folding rear foot pegs and the foam fork guards!! Sweet!
It's a real shame when 12 days before your first vintage motocross race that you've been dreaming about for a year ends like this. So after doing some research it turns out that a 4th bore piston for a '73-74 MX360 is extremely rare altough I managed to track one down from a guy back east who has them custom made by Wiesco. I'm picking up the cylinder from the machine shop tomorrow and slamming this thing back together just in time for Meatball's Hell On Wheels Rally this Saturday! Cutting it close? Not at all!
This place is... old motocross, old flat bottom race boats, heavy logs, boobs from the 60's, ice cold beer and occasionally some kustom paint. Sometimes it's cool, most of the time it's a drag. Cheers!
