Had one BITD and been looking to find another for the last 8 years...found this one in pretty low hour condition with a broken piston...sat for the last 13 years...still had the original rubber on it!
Just finished going through it and replacing the few items it needed...

Yarrgh, she's a beauty! I'm looking for a project bike. Preferably an old low-pipe 125, TM, RM or CR.

I sold one to my brother in law in Dallas about 3 years ago, so he'd have a bike to ride with his friends, and so I didn't have to pack two bikes when I went to Dallas to ride. He rode it once and traded it to one of his skateboarding buddies for some vintage skateboard shit. Before I had a chance to try and buy it back, (because I knew what would happen to it in that dudes hands) the dude wadded it up really bad, wasted the suspension, and then blew the motor up. Apparently, he had no idea that you had to add oil to the gas in a 2 stroke. He then as the story goes, found it necessary to light it on fire and they all danced around it drunk as hell. Idiots. I wish I could find a bunch of vintage skate stuff to light on fire and send them a video of it.

Oh man, I almost forgot about those cheezy #1s that took just short of nuclear blast to get off.
