InFuZiOn Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just joined yamaha club after looking into some good sites with active members in older bikes. A friend recently sold me his 1978 Yamaha DT175 that needed a throttle cable and some TLC. Turns out he didnt put the slide on the carb correctly so it was stuck open and ruined the throttle cable somewhere along the lines. Anyways I got it up and running yesterday and have spent most of last night and this morning watching videos, reading guides, and learning what I can about my new toy. Here's a little about myself though. I'm 26, from Dallas, TX. I bartend downtown and work for my family's oil company here and there. I've owned lots of various vehicles and have experience with tools and basic mechanics although I've never owned a motorcycle before. Also I've got a 3 year old pitbull that's a red-nose brindle male who's a little badass and drive a 2001 Cadillac Deville when the weather is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InFuZiOn Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Haha the oil company is pretty small and based out of west texas. Also it turns out the bike isn't a DT175 but actually the IT175 instead!! And yeah my pit is a little badass. I posted a picture of him below. I think he's around 93 lbs at 3 years old now.

InFuZiOn Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Couldn't forget this one. This was Atlas(my dog) with Ares(1 of 4 pups of the litter, all males of course, that looked almost indentical to his dad). Talk about the perfect chick magnet when I walked them both together at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
