VMX is a very pretty motocross mag

I had the pleasure of engaging a couple of Skype conversations with Ken Smith, editor of the coffee-table-quality VMX magazine.

Ken deals in all things historical that are related to motocross.  VMX captures gorgeous images and in-depth features for those who love to go deep into the nuts and bolts detail of a restoration.

Ken would like to reach out to Retro Motocross readers and said, "As part of our 50th issue 'celebration' we're also running a subscription promo, where anyone who takes out a new subscription between now and the 10th of December goes into a draw(ing) to win all 50 issues of VMX Magazine (including freight of course, anywhere in the world).  That is a huge prize considering how many issues are now unobtainable and command big prices on eBay."

So for those of you who might want a big quarterly fix of motocross from yesteryear, check out the website for details. VMX is an Australian publication, you can learn more from clicking to http://www.vmxmag.com.au/.

With all that said, let's get back to the machinery...check out the pristine Maico on the latest cover of VMX. It's art in the making.  I had a radial head 250 and now wish it was never sold...and was still tucked safely away in my parent's shed in Wisconsin.

Guess I'll have to dust off my time machine to get it back.
