Hi All,

Just found this forum and joined. I live in Southern California.

I recently purchased a 1970 Yamaha 250 Enduro DT1C.It's going to take some work to get it going again, but I'm looking forward to the task.

I've been riding and racing off road more than 40 years. I got my son started when he was 6 yrs old (he's 30 now). We mostly ride vintage Husqvarna's now, but I also have several other off road bikes.

Also, currently restoring a 1969 Yamaha 250 DS6C Scrambler.

Thought the DT1C would be nice to have something to putt around town on, without having to drive to the desert first.

Look forward to helping when I can and will probably have more than a few questions along the way.

Ron

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome.

The Husky's are a 77 250CR and a 79 390CR.

The pic of my son and I was last Nov/2012 getting ready for the Elsinore Gran Prix, made famous by the early 70's motorcycle movie "On any Sunday".

The course still uses some of the original course up in the hills around the lake, but only has about 200 yards on the paved city streets now.

Back in the 70's we went right through downtown with folks trying to cross the street in front of us.

Now we have 6ft fences everywhere and spectators are not allowed anywhere on the course.

Insurance reasons most likely.
