I remember a guy I knew while I was in high school, '68 or '69. He had a Kaw 125 2-stroke motocross bike that was really hopped up.

Wild porting, expansion pipe, NO FLYWHEEL! I forget what it was dyno'd at, but unbelievable HP for 125cc.

It was basically un-rideable, especially for motocross. Using the throttle was like like flipping an on/off switch. It wouldn't idle. It had no power until it got up on the pipe (at about 6k rpm) and then it was instant power. You basically couldn't keep the front wheel on the ground and you couldn't keep traction with the rear wheel. He could ride it. I tried it once and that was enough. It truly scared me.

When I was twenty, so, 74, I got to ride a Honda Elsinore 250. Holy Cow! That thing was a Hoot! There was a hard little turn with about a foot and half berm. The tilt of the dirt in the corner allowed a real hard lean,and the guy who owned it could wheely in the turn. SunnuvaBitch! Others may have too,don't remember.
Yeah, two stroke and dirt, great combination. I'm going to finish that clip on the TV.

Local PD absolutely hated me and that bike not a really fast bike but super quick as fast as you can shift. They never did catch me on that bike , that’s a bike I’d like to have back.
