Nice Dirty, love any of the old Yellow with the Black strobe Yamahas nice collection.

I don't know how at almost 60 I missed the whole two stoke scene, but man are these things fun. Better late than never

Thanks a lot of work yes, but a labor of love. So blessed my wife shares the passion of these old bikes. We enjoy it!

Okay rounded out our 2-stroke family we now have on the road a beautiful survivor a 1977 French Blue RD400 1972 YDS7 1969 YAS1C

Thanks folks, we're having a ball with them!

Well we're back took us a year, but finally got the DS7 up and running. Here is some pics and video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtxJFatqbck&list=UUF1cC6oWgnyBB3blHIgGFEQ <---- Video Took them both to the Yamaha Demo ride, the factory guys got a big kick with us pulling in with a little Yamaha History

Seeing that lil tear in her eye, she made my day!

Now for the next project 1972 Yamaha DS7

And as Paul Harvey used to say, "And now for the rest of the story!" or should I say the best part of the story! I had a incredible moment today. As I have told most of you, the biggest thrill of collecting the vintage bikes is the hunt, and even the better the stories behind the bike. My buddy Keith, has a sweet little neighbor in her 80, that suffered a mild stroke awhile back and lost her husband some years ago. So Keith kind of keeps an eye out for her. One day they were talking about an old Yamaha she had out in the Garage and said he had a buddy who might be interested in it. So Deb and I went over and looked at it and saw the potential for complete preservation of this little classic 1969 Yamaha YAS1C. You could tell she was very sentimentally attached to it and told me how her husband used to ride it all the time and how they used it when they would go camping to get around on. So she sold it to us with the stipulation that I had to bring it by when we got it running again. Titling was a challenge as it was lost. So thanks to the help and guidance of another good friend Frances and the Oldham County Clerk's office , we got that taken care of, got her a duplicate and she in turn signed it over to us, so I got tags yesterday. Now of the good part, today I slipped the boot off long enough to ride it over to her house, ask my buddy Keith to meet me there. So the best part of my day was seeing the excitement and the joy in her face, maybe even a little tear in her eye when she told me her husband would have loved this! What a sweet lady, and now we have a piece of her history in our collection.

Thanks, new job on the road all the time, don't have much fun online time these days.

Sweet, we just got our YAS1C back on the road today, had been sitting since 1975, officially rescued, titled and soon back on the road!
