Looks like it's in bloody good condition, I've been so close to hitting the button on a couple lately, a 1982 Fantic [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINT-FANTIC-300-TWIN-SHOCK-TRICKED-MODS-TRIAL-2995-ONO-PX-BSA-TRIUMPH-BETA-WHY-/200899061617?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2ec6846771"]Like This One[/URL] and a [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-TY250-S-Mono-Trials-Bike-TY-/321079962076?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4ac1db69dc"]TY250[/URL]

I've got nowhere to keep it really but just the nostalgia kicking in I think, first field bike was one of these [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Wisp-49cc-classic-moped-1969-Totally-original-and-unrestored-/230935348223?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item35c4d1c3ff"]Raleigh Wisp[/URL] closeley followed by this [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-PUCH-MINI-MAXI-Moped-Runs-well-No-V5-hence-sold-Spares-or-repair-/150999687729?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2328486231"]Puch Maxi[/URL] and then my Dad feeling sorry for me got me one of these [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1976-Gilera-50cc-Enduro-Trial-Mopeds-Original-SALES-BROCHURE-4-page-/151001523866?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&hash=item232864669a"]Gilera Enduro[/URL], those were the days

Always fancied the Yamaha TDR 250 as a 'memory lane' toy, loved these when I was younger

and another 1.9 205 GTI (sold when the kids were born, for a people carrier...)

I had a DT 80mx as a 17 year old :)
my 1st bike was an RD50 M all my mates had suzuki TS 50ER's
my rd had a malossi 65 kit though ;) & k&n filter R&D power pipe.
I love nostalgic posts like this one who had a gianneli power pipe & Fresco tail pipe on there DT 50 then ;)

Never had a DT50 or 80 but had a fizzy/FS1E. No auto lube straight in the tank. Bel Ray 2T i can smell it like it was yesterday! :)
Your new bike looks very good. Do you plan on a nut and bolt rebuild?

Re: yamaha dt 80 mx

Bass666 my first bike (after a moped) was a X7 as well the 1st 250 to do a Ton it was indeed a wheelie machine i can remember popping it up in 1st & changing gear right up to 5th on the back wheel , i never had another bike like it in that respect . From RD 350/400 through Suzuki triples up to a Z900 the one i remember most is the x7 .

Kool bike m8y, i had a DT50 when i was 16, went to the DT 125 at 17, passed test on that then a 350lc, the 125 to the 350lc was a bigger jump in power than i expected, had the shakes(me not the bike lol ) first few times i rode it, went onto the NS 400 after that, wierd sounding bike being a V3, then onto a RG500 (wish i still had it now) :(

all the fireblades and r1s i rode after that never excited me like riding that RG500, and the smell :D

[igottomanyhelis]
