Recently searching through craigslist when I stumbled upon one of my race bike from 1982 season. I was 17 years old when I last saw this bike! 31 years later it still wears most of the stickers which is what caught my eye, after looking at the bike in person I saw the frame repair which are welder did back in 82. What are the odds? like getting a piece of my teenage years back

What are your plans with it now that it's back in your possession?
I don't care how good of a rider he was . They could not have been that bad. But they sure look like they could have been
He will circle back on the YZ about a week before he wants to race it this spring. pull all-nighters to pretty it up, race the hell out of it and win, then sell it a day or two later!
ADD for sure.
Sell this bike? No way ! it's the only one I will keep.
Update-Getting the the taper bearing race out of the frame was a bitch. A freind put the frame on his end mill and we were able mill the race into 2 pieces. Samething with the bottom bearing on the triple tree. I did get the frame back from powder coating yesterday looks good. So see Mike there's progress being made. I'll post some pics soon
Mike is correct about the Italian "works" bike (2001 TM racing 250) It should be completed sometime next week
But very cool story none the less

Had something similar happen to me, so I know the feeling.
