Works bikes😍😍😍😍😍 Jim Gibson, so stylish...I always loved his riding style👍
1983 is my favorite year for moto, I was 16 and killing it on a 1-2-5👍👍

Drum brakes, open face helmets, the end of one era, beginnings of a new one. Massive evolution of MX bikes at this time

Very cool to see American Jim Gibson racing the GP's in the 125 class. I was always hoping to see a top American rider like Barnett, O'Mara, or Ward over there. Gibson did a good job....i think he finished 2nd or 3rd overall in the championdhip at the end of the year...

Questo si era vero motocross con piste dure e toste che mettevano a dura prova moto e piloti

[@robertrishel3685]

Yes!

I currently own a '83 rm125 and watching this gives me chills. These guys ride these things to the max, literally! The only time they don't go full throttle is right before the race!

Works bikes😍❤️❤️ they all sound so good! Perfectly jetted….fresh engines….nothing sounds as good as a pro riding a fresh 125 two stroke, nothing.
Those Gilera works bikes were badass too. Just gorgeous!
These guys were battling HARD!
