March 13, 201411 yr My first bike was a YAS1, went like a rocket for a 125, brilliant bike, and what about the registration number, TTT5H! I px'd it for a brand new YR5F from Commerfords for £363 - still got that one btw. Did two Manx Grand Prix on it in Proddy trim
March 15, 201411 yr YR5F in Proddy trim at the '77 Manx GP - I'll try and dig out some pics of the YAS1 too
March 15, 201411 yr I use Photobucket, its a piece of cake. Upload your image into it, then just copy the IMG line into your post

September 15, 201410 yr Well we're back took us a year, but finally got the DS7 up and running. Here is some pics and video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtxJFatqbck&list=UUF1cC6oWgnyBB3blHIgGFEQ <---- Video Took them both to the Yamaha Demo ride, the factory guys got a big kick with us pulling in with a little Yamaha History
September 18, 201410 yr WOW I missed this whole thread great story about the old lady and your bikes are sweet!
September 18, 201410 yr 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?
April 7, 20159 yr Okay rounded out our 2-stroke family we now have on the road a beautiful survivor a 1977 French Blue RD400 1972 YDS7 1969 YAS1C
April 8, 20159 yr Lovely bikes you must be well pleased. Lots of work and many hours involved there I bet.
April 9, 20159 yr 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!
April 19, 20159 yr 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
April 20, 20159 yr Moderator Better late than never. I got my first 2 stroke in 1976. My 2 stroke lineup.
