Damn Jim, that's too nice to use a camp/pit bike. Fine work!

Whats the yellow Yamaha behind this bike? I have one that looks very similar looking out back. Its a 2 stroke around 175 or 185 cc.

1978 yamaha dt400 bone stock 2200 miles.rebuilt front forks new air filter,chain and battery other wise all original.found it stored in a basement for over 20yrs.very comfortable to ride

1969 ts250 had 6 miles when restored

1980 yamaha chappy 50cc pedal bike moped.now its 140cc 4 speed lifan will hit over 50 if your crazy enough.this thing is an absolute blast to ride.this is my version of an OCC choppers bike

this is what i started with

Very nice work again, every last detail. Do you take them to shows or anything?

nope.just enjoy building them and riding them.its my own personal therapy

done.ready to see the road again.last time this thing saw the road was 1979.

Ok I have to ask WHY are you taking and posting pictures that are 3072x2304 pixels, the picture is 2.67 MEG are you taking pictures in that high of resolution because your printing out posters and hanging them on the wall?

Here is the same picture resized to 800x600 and its now 110 bytes not 2,670,000 bytes its like 24,000 times smaller.

I have unlimited web space and unlimited bandwidth but its going to take 5 minutes for this page to load for guys like Turbotexas and other dialup type guys.

It also sucks when doing a backup of my whole web site.

sorry did not know

Yeah I figured you didnt don't feel bad most people don't, not trying to single you out its just a good way to get the message out Not long ago I had Sunblock run a program on the server to resize ALL the pictures on this site and it reduced the server space used by like ONE GIG or more, I will have him run it again in the future.

I try to back up my whole web site often then I burn it to a DVD just in case their is a major problem with the server and all the data is gone for every (fire, tornado, theft etc.) then we only lose like a week worth of data not a years work.

My site has grown out of control over the years and I am right on the border of it NOT fitting on a 4.7 gig DVD.

Sooner or later it wont fit on a single DVD and I will have to start buying the 9 gig DVD's they are still like a buck each or put it on 2 DVD's (pain in the arse)

Again nothing personal all is good just a public announcement more importantly keep posting them pics I love to see them old machines again its like reliving my childhood

The more reasonable we can keep the picture sizes it leaves more room for videos and other attachments like PDF's

Not sure if your interested or not. But I have some old school bumper bike carriers. It would be perfect for one of your mini's on a front bumper. It's the old school type so you need to old steel bumpers. I would say good up to about 100cc max if that. They have that oval ring that the bikes wheel sits into and bolts to old school bumper with chain and hook clamp. Basic stuff.

I used them on a 77 dodge travel van to carry 80cc enduro and or Moped you see in the pic. I am also doing a yamaha enduro soon. 100cc though. I love doing the old enduro yamaha's. So basic and they all seem to run or will run easy when I find them

If you need another way to hual one of those bikes let me know. I will dig them out.
