    Hello all! Having just rejoined the ranks of DT ownership thought I'd sign up here and let myself be known. Thought it best that way before I start annoying all by posting numerous silly questions to the resident experts here!! Briefly, about me..... started my biking in the '70's, firstly with a very beat up old NSU Quickly then the more conventional route of FS1-E, RD250 and my first DT, a brand new white '79 250MX. I took delivery of that beauty still in the crate and built it up myself at home. Not something which would be allowed these days! Years have gone by and never without at least one bike in the garage. Laterly a couple of Virago's (when my k…

    Hi there, I am new to the biking world, I have passed my CBT and I am currently taking lessons to start my direct access. I own a 1991 Yamaha SR 125 which I am trying to restore to its former glory, a lot of people have told me not to as its my first bike but I say why not?

  6. Started by Scoops Vietnam,

    Hi. My name's Mark, but I'm known as Scoops by my M8s. Living and working in Vietnam for two years and hoping to settle here. Bought myself a ybr 125g a year ago, and it's been a great bike; fun on the busy streets here, suitable for longer journeys with a knobbly back tyre, a tank bag, a back givi box and hard side cases. Most of the bikes here are scooters, the bike looks bigger than a 125 at first glance, and it's the only ybr I've seen in my time here in Vietnam, so it turns few heads. The downside obviously is getting work done on it, as parts are non existent and I have to have a lot of stuff custom-made. It would be nice to see if there are any other Yamaha …
