    My Dad bought a 71 dt 250. For riding enduro, sold immediately and get a ossa pioneer 250.

      @markallen6818 2 года назад +1

      I bet that there's not many people that ever heard of Ossa.You about would have to be 50 or 60 yrs old to remember them,which I am.I remember a guy that used to race them in Motocross back in the 70's.His was Pauly Miller,saw him win quiet a few races against Honda's,Suzuki's and Yamaha's in the early to mid 70's.He was that good.

    Dad had a 1978 Yamaha DT 125..2 stroke...all road eqpt taken off...strictly used for dirt. Metal tank. Green with black and white. I wish he would have never sold that dirtbike. 1978 I was 5. First motorcycle I road on period, and it was a 2 stroke. My Dad toyed with that bike like you do. Always loved the powerbands such a young kid. This is where my love of two strokes comes from. Been a love affair ever since.

  • @koeksch6926
    @koeksch6926 4 года назад

    It puts a smile on my face to see that, after riding thousands of motorcycles, you still seem to enjoy riding around on an old bike like that so much. It reminds me of the time that i was a kid and just filled my days riding my moped next to the house, up and down my parent´s garden. I couldn´t drive on the road because i didn´t have a driving licence yet. the neighbours must have really liked me...

      I had a 1976 Yamaha DT 400,it was yellow and white.I used to ride it work after High School.Rode it more off road than I did on pavement.Broke both rear shocks and blowed the motor while off road riding.Had the motor bored out and replaced the rear shocks with better than stock.
