Fox..omg...did ya have to flash me back to...points and condensers? My first dirt bike had that...a Yamaha GT 80..and not only did ya have to set them..frequently it would sputter out on the trail..and ya had the clean the points with a tiny file....then reset them... When they went to CDI...I was boggled. Huh?..how does it run with out points?  The first time I heard the term CDI I was befuddled too. Huh? Whaaa?   It was a Yamaha 360 MX back in 1982-1983. I saw a guy wheelie one at least a 1/2 mile. Great bike! More power than is necessary. lol  |

Wow!! gorgeous MX 360. They were fast...hottest bike I ever rode in the 80's was a Husqvarna 360..omg.. :panic: It had a compression release you HAD to press with your thumb...or all you ended up doing..was standing on the kickstart! Loudest 2T I ever heard as well. Speaking of wheelies...remember Doug Domokos..'The Wheelie King' That guy could wheelie in circles..up over objects...up and down steps even....then set the world record wheelie.... He could wheelie any kind of vehicle. www.thewheelieking.com/www.thewheelieking.com/wk10.html |

I haven't heard his name for a while so I hope he invested well... :spin:

Nope...sadly in late 2000 he decided to get into Ultra-Light Homebuilt aircraft as a hobby. His wings folded at about 1,000 feet and he is no longer with us. So now one of his sons carry on his Wheelie King legacy...
