I came across some random old enduro photos on Flickr. I guess the guys dad used to own a Yamaha dealership somewhere out west? Pretty awesome to see a whole bunch of brand new bikes. I wish I could go back in time and buy a handful of them.
Who wants to go rip around the Kenso woods this weekend?
Awesome pics.
When looking for a vintage enduro fix, I check out this vid:

Too bad I dont speak spanish.
Other great sources of old enduro stuff is the footage from old ISDE/ISDT races. They have stuff from all years, so you can check out the wicked awesome dudes on heavy ass bikes with little suspension or the super plastic 80s stuff.

That first video is awesome competition cuz you have to also be a mechanic. Gotta change a tire in 4 minutes and nobody can help. and the nerds in the “sound tent” waiting to dock you points. Or random headlight check. No repairs overnight.. bikes are locked up. “He’s gotta save the machine, save his body.”
