Hello,

Purchased my first bike a couple months ago, 1978 DT175E. Great condition considering I live in Ketchikan, Alaska and it rains so often here that people don't just age here, they rust. (Thankfully there's very little of that going on with the bike! ) Just missing some minor parts that I've mostly already replaced (just got my package full of parts I ordered, today). Bummed that it's still missing the left side cover panel that covers up the oil tank but hope to find a replacement in the future.

Anyway, did quite a bit of searching google for answers now that I'm teaching myself how to fix the bike up, Google pointed me here quite often so I thought I'd stop in and say Hey there! (And hoping for some assistance as well )

Hi SF, Welcome to the YOC, sounds a bit like the UK (rain) but you also have mountains of snow and grisly bears to deal with. Lots of your countrymen/women on here you should feel right at home.

Greetings SF
