Hi,
this has all come about due to a long story, many years ago, my oldest son got his motorbike license, and needed a cheap reliable bike to commute the 20ks to work and back each day, we found an '86 DT175 in good nick for a good price, so bought it, and did the job admirably, until he got caught out in traffic and rode into the back of a stationary car, and wrote the car and bike off, with son doing complete somersault over the car and landed on the road in front of it, apart from severely bruised knee from the bars, and a scratched chin from the steel plate he was bringing home stuffed up his jumper, he was fine. this lead him to buy another bike the same and rode that, he eventually upgraded to other bikes, and gave the 2 DTs to my younger son, who then bought another one for spares etc....fast forward about 7 years, younger son moves over to my place, brings DTs with him, he stripped one to bare chassis and rebuilt it, then comes up with a bright idea that the 3 of us should have DT175s, and do some vinduro events, a few weeks later, this 1990 DT 175 pops up on face book, so I bought it.
