jaylael Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Check out my new Beta and my ultra modern girlfriend. We are very lucky to have such wonderful machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Just look at the space between the engine and the tank. You could fit most of Arthur's beta parts stock in there as well as a couple of chip butties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylael Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 (edited) The first motocross race I ever went to was in 1970 and there were two guys ridng these Moto Betas. Believe it or not, they were without a doubt the fastest bikes on the track. The one guy (from Farmington wash.) absolutely SMOKED the 100 cc expert class over a field of Bultaco 100's, Kawasaki Centurions and Yamaha enduro100s. This race was just before the class became all Super Rats the very next month. The Rats enjoyed supremacy for the rest of the season and were vanquished the following spring by the advent of the green Yamaha 100 Lt 1 MX with the low pipe. The Beta sort of vanished, along with DKW, Carabela, Monark, etc. I'm glad I was able to witness the color and diversity of the time before the Japanese domination.

vicx Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hey JayLael - if you've seen the pic of my behind on another posted topic you'll understand why i have to keep this dress code in tact! What can't be seen can't be laughed at!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Vic: In your profile photo, you look like a nubile young trials gal. Great choice of photo. I'd rather not spoil that mental picture by looking further at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrolounger Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I remember that ad! and the Norton girl ad too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 The Norton girl fueled my adolescent fantasies in 1969 to 1972. It seemed as though every bike magazine had a Norton ad in it back then. Bike ads sure have changed. Now it's all about Ricky Carmichael.
