Yes the Maico and the Moto x were fun!, I've slowed down bit now, so the the performance will be quick enough for me, your DT looks Great, hopefully mine will look as good?????, I loved the seventies so want a bike that took me back to memory lane and much nicer time,

Hello my name is Graham. Just wanted to say hi and a little about myself. I've just joined after purchasing a DT 400B American import for restoration. As a child my family and I lived abroad and I had a ATC 90 Honda 3 wheel buggy , then a 1977 DT 100 and then a DT 125 and after that a Suzuki RM125C racing with the Dubai Dirt Donks for a couple of years . On our return to the UK I raced in school boy moto x 1st with a RM100N ,then back with my RM125C, then a Yamaha YZ125G and then a 125 Cagiva silver streak. When turned adult I had a season on a 490 Maico alpha , but unfortunately had to retire after my fathers funding stopped! I still rode as I used to borrow my brothers bike, a 1982 RDLC125 unrestricted . After 32 years and a bit of go -karting in between, I fancied getting a vintage Yamaha like my dads friend in Dubia circa 1975, a yellow DT 400B with the intention of restoring it. Having purchased one from ebay, a non runner American field bike with no electrics or speedo/tacho , I would greatly appreciate any help or advice about my project. Cheers Graham... and if that hasn't bored you to death nothing will haha.
