Hi All

Been looking at this forum for a number of months now, silly for me to have joined earlier!

Anyway, my name is Jayson. 23 years old and living in Cape Town, South Africa. I've always ridden bikes, starting with motocross - although never raced - and ending up racing supermotards. In the next 3 days I will be leaving the bike shop I'm working for which is called Retro Prestige Motorcycles (https://www.facebook.com/Retro.Prestige.Motorcycles). It was a startup business which I helped open and designed. Dealing with mostly classic bikes and cafe racers and accessories, I ran the back office and in the end I landed up building cafe's and trackers. So some of my work is on the link I posted above.

So during the course of working here I had always had a connection with Yamaha's DT series, and lucky me I had a 1992 DT 175 MX rotting away in my back garden which my father had bought for ZAR 500 (29 GBP). This bike had seen 7 summers, and 7 VERY rainy winters. This February I decided to let it live again and build it into a street tracker with a motard twist.

Anyway, that's my story. I am considering starting a build thread on here. Good idea? Not allowed?

Cheers

I'm a Saffa living in London and I have a XJ6 Diversion F which I love. If you ever come this side let me know I stay in Ashtead so close to London.

Always keen for an excuse to take the bike out!
