neversaydie Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I use Photobucket, its a piece of cake. Upload your image into it, then just copy the IMG line into your post

dt502001 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 WOW I missed this whole thread great story about the old lady and your bikes are sweet!
UK_DT Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Both of those bikes look superb and sound wonderful - that 2 stroke burble is music to my ears! Great restoration job on both - any plans for any more?
Curt Edwards Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks folks, we're having a ball with them!

slice Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Lovely bikes you must be well pleased. Lots of work and many hours involved there I bet.
Curt Edwards Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks a lot of work yes, but a labor of love. So blessed my wife shares the passion of these old bikes. We enjoy it! 1
Curt Edwards Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I don't know how at almost 60 I missed the whole two stoke scene, but man are these things fun. Better late than never 2
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 20, 2015 Moderator Posted April 20, 2015 Better late than never. I got my first 2 stroke in 1976. My 2 stroke lineup.
