Excellent…love the vintage stuff. I try and get to the vintage days at Mid-Ohio and Barber every year to see bikes like those in person, plus the vintage racing is pretty cool too!

Excellent videos!! I recognized a couple that I owned over the years!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[fredz43]

Yes, thanks for that. I saw my first new Yamaha, the 1973 TX500 twin.

I saw my 1978 650 Special that I owned in the mid 80's it was my first street bike.

I remember when I was a kid, I mailed away for a Yamaha brochure. My favorite at the time was the 305 cc Big Bear Scrambler. That was 1965 or 66! I used to fall asleep with that brochure, dreaming about motorcycles (and girls), but mostly motorcycles.

Should have stayed with motorcycles! Such is life.

Been through a few "Yammer Hammers", since then, for sure. Loved them all.

Yamahas in the garage: 1967 TD1C, 1969 AT125, 1978 TY80, 1982 TT250, 2004 TT125LE, 2004 TTR125 with a BBR kit for Mini Supermoto and later this year a Super Tenere.

Some years ago, I found and restored a little 74 TY80 trials bike for my son’s very first motorcycle. What a cool little bike that was. Around the same time, I found and restored a 72 DT2MX for myself.

Nice walk through yesteryear. I've seen a lot of those bikes in person, and owned quite a few as well.

Thanks for the post.

Yeah, and $1 a carton for smokes when I was in the Navy. Just glad that I quit way back in '77.......... not sure how people can afford it today.

Big honkin' hamburgers ... 25 cents apiece. 5 for a dollar. R

 

[MotorcopBBQ]

Nice videos. Sorry guys I was a product of the 80's so no nickel Cokes or $1 pack of smokes.

 

[jajpko]

Here’s one you don’t see too often. I dug up this photo of my old 1972 DT2MX250 on its first outing after restoration.

The next in line was a 73 CR250M Elsinore which I still have…it ran circles around the DT.
