[GreenKeys] An elusive beastie- the LABD 500(?!) -- and 73!

Yes  Gill the Elsinore was nice....But  the Maico 440 square  barrel  would 
kick the Honda's  ass!

- But  most importantly, in 1973, Honda debuted its first 2-stroke 
motocross bike,  the CR250M Elsinore, a bike I found to be a design even more 
intoxicating than  the radial-finned/coffin-tanked Maicos and others of the day.  
Before  Honda went red/black, the early Elsinores were a very cool  
aluminum/green.  Even Steve McQueen got into riding one.  I had the  smaller enduro 
MT125 for a while, which, even though the gearing was higher,  and the pipe 
was up, was still oodles of fun.
