Polar,yeah I've seen that video clip of JoJo before.That was the last time he was seriously into riding.He was being sponsored  by Joe Cedrone right here in Plymouth,who owns a fitness machine company...lol,kinda ironic since he was about 375lbs there....and still lapping kids 35 years younger than him.
JoJo's been in hiding the last few months....we have'nt seen or heard much from him since August.

I hear ya....I'll be riding til the day I can't see any longer...I figure another 25 years,if I make it that long!!

That's awesome you're doing good and looking to get a 125...I want one too,so I can have a all three in my living room...500,250,and 125.
I'm actually heading out on the K5 in about an hour....it's already 52 degrees here!!...had light snow yesterday!

That MXDN video is cool......you can see Emigs body english that he was pretty timid on the 500.  Lots of easy throttle, wide lines, and very little movement in the air......He did a great job for never swinging a leg over anything that powerful......not to mention that the K5 handles like a tank compared to his KX250 of that year.

One of the things the commentators said was that Lamson was a full second a lap faster than Emig..........30 min of video will take too long for me to translate over but imagine every MX race you've ever seen and the commentation was pretty much the same.

I was hoping one of you guys would know what they saying :roll:
It did realy looked like Emig was riding it for years.
And my brother told me that Steve Lamson was the first and only rider to win both races on a 125 in a MXDN.
There so many great video's on youtube of mxdn and old GP's.
