I've already bought 5 bikes because of that Damn site. My checkbook hates it. Almost finished restoring the 3rd one.

yzwelden.. I assume either your single, or you have a wife that needs to talk to mine about the fine points of keeping motocross bikes in the house.

No not yet but will be soon. The vintage bug bit me hard last April a week after Diamond Dons and seeing all the cool videos from last year, I have collected and restored these bikes since then. I have been on this site a long time but usually keep a low profile but have noticed your profile and posts, where do live? DFW right? I grew up in Hurst and Moiser valley. See you at Diamonds in April

The TVRC is a great club, with a lot of great members. It's one of the best vintage clubs in the nation and we have several members that have moved to DFW from out of state just because of the great vintage racing scene we have here. Diamond Don's is a must attend event. It's a huge party where a race breaks out!

I live off the north end of Bransford in Colleyville, so I'm just a few miles west of you.

I keep my bikes the same color, chicks never know the difference. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n248/Jeekinz/bikes.jpg

Awesome, we need to hook up for a Marg or brew some time. Baja Grill in Southlake or Grapevine are favorite spots for me and friends to Bullshit and Bench race

Great 77B! I too have been bringing one back to life again.
My 125 Suzuki AirHammer triple trees got milled out 2mm to accept 1980 Suzuki RM125 38mm forks.. I plan on getting 15.25inch Works shocks on the stock steel swing arm. I was told that I could go 2mm max on the triple trees.
I have an extra stock size triple trees 36mm to switch back to if I do some vintage racing in the future .I plan on rebuilding the 1977 36mm forks.. I am also looking for stock rear shocks 14.75 inches for the vintage setup if you have a good source !
Love those old Suzuki's

A little progress on the RM yesterday, waiting on new spoke nipples for the front wheel
