I was just up near him (Couer d'Alene) a couple weeks ago, but have never met him. Couer d'Alene is about an eight hour drive from me. I think I have his site bookmarked on my laptop too.

to the YOC Dan. You may get some replies here about the DT200 piston, but this area's for intros so it may get overlooked.

aboard!

I don't own one, but that's sure a nice looking bike. I'm a sucker for the 70s models.

I've always been on the southeastern side of the state. Raised for about 7 years in Salmon, then moved to Idaho Falls, and now I find myself in Pocatello. Still have family in Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, and North Fork. I miss spending time at my cousin's ranch in Salmon... mainly the horseback riding. They used to have horses, cattle, and goats, but now it's just the goats... and dirt bike riding. How does western Idaho compare with Arizona?

Welcome aboard darlyj! I too have a project bike ('76 dt175), and even without kids it's not gonna happen overnight. :/ Did I say overnight, I meant in one weekend. Although, overnight would be nice. I hear Arizona's been extremely hot lately... stay frosty.

Thank you both! I once had a manual for this bike too, but cannot for the life of me find it... looks like I'll have to get another one.

Hi all! Years ago I acquired a DT175 that had a seized clutch. The engine number is 559-005931 and the engine number matches. I've done a search of the forum and found this link for the US model identification. It's coming up as a 1976 DT175C on that site, but according to my notes from at least a decade ago it's a 1977 DT175 C. If I remember right I got that information from someone at the local Yamaha shop. Does anyone know if that VIN is from 1976 or 1977? Is there much difference between the '76 and '77 models? I plan on starting a project thread as this bike is now a basket case and I have my work cut out for me... but I'm quite looking forward really. Thanks in advance! Sach

You must be psychic. Got to meet the front man of Volbeat last night too! <3

Might have to see if I can view it online or maybe BBC America. I like to see panel discussions. You find out which celebs actually have half a brain... maybe he's not as vacant as he sang about back in the day.

My husband still doesn't understand this (course he's never smoked). I still have a pack of cigarettes in the freezer from four years ago (?). Only my brother and mom have smoked any of them but I still like the comfort of having them there... in case of emergency...

not to sound too stupid... is CMM the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics magazine or something else? That is one bad ass RD if I'm looking at the right mag.

check out the FAQ section and then give us all a look at your beauty with some pics.

The more the merrier! I thought you all got the good stuff. I think this was the first time any of those guys have played in Idaho so we had to make it. Volbeat's playing in Boise tomorrow so we're staying for that too. <3 Rubber ducky... They do have rubber duck races down the river usually around the 4th of July I think.

to the YOC. Hopefully you've created another post with the technical info on your bike... and its not running. This forum is just for the intros.

Thanks man! I got to go to the mayhem festival in Boise and see Motörhead! Along with Anthrax, Slayer, and Slipknot... it was a helluva way to celebrate independence day.

Hi.

You should be able to edit your post. Just select your post like you would to quote somebody else's post and there should be an edit button.

to the forum. Glad you're enjoying the ride!

I'm not sure where in the states you are, but I use a place out of Oregon (NW Vintage Cycle Parts). They've been fast and quite friendly to me.

Welcome aboard Callum! I'm pretty sure I saw your post in the classics forum so hopefully the folks are helping you sort it out in that thread... this one's for the intros.
