Greetings from New England
« on: August 20, 2013, 09:53:20 am »
Howdy, My name is Brian and I'm from the United States. I've been lurking on the site for a few years and thought I would like to join the forum. I have a weakness for 1974 YZ125's, they keep finding me. I race with the ACR club here in the States. I enjoy working on my bikes and am likely a better restorer than racer but I get faster every year. You guys have a better vintage forum than anything going in the U.S. and I commend you for it.

Welcome aboard Brian....those little Yamahas are cool, we're slowly building a very, very trick one using a rare Trackmaster MX frame so I know how addictive they are. Don't be afraid to jump in to any thread want, the more folks contributing, the better it is for all of us. Wherabouts in the New England are you?

Hey Firko, I'm in Massachusetts. I spent hours sanding and polishing that set of Works shocks you have with the black and white springs. I need to get out of the stone age and invest in a buffer.

They've got pride of place on my Cheney Yamaha 360....they were just what I needed so thanks very much. Coincidently the Cheney also came from Massachusetts so the shocks are meant to be there ;D.
