Hi Juan,
Thank for posting the photos of you and your bike. We here in the USA do not hear anything about MX racing in South America. I for one find it interesting and congratulate you on campaigning that KTM back in the day and for winning the championship.
Thank you for sharing and welcome to the POG's official web site. :D

Welcome Juan. Looks like you had a great set-up when you raced with those Fox air shocks. And the #1 on the plate tells at least some of your story!
If you want to rebuild/refurbish your bike, this site can be very helpful with everything except paying for the postage. ;)
Thank you for sharing with us. Send some more pictures when you have a chance.
