starpal2 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Yes that was me and i usually keep bikes right side up.(cheaper that way) also in answer to some questions i work at mission valley foreign auto service and i would love to get into racing vintage included. one of the cool things about my 86 yz490 is that my dad had one of that same year back when he frequented the desert. -Anthony (my real name) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
