Stay safe guys.
How the years have whizzed bye you have had some beauties, including the lovely Mrs. Ride on 😀🌈👍
Hi Jon, glad to see more videos from you. My first proper bike was a 2006 DT125R. Always loved DT's. In fact once lockdown has passed I'll be buying a 1978 DT125mx from him in yellow and black (US import 1990). It's still in showroom condition with just over 1000 miles on the clock. I'd love to ride a 175 too but it's unlikely to happen now! I could put a 170 kit on it but I'll be taking the purist route and leaving it unmolested so it can continue to age gracefully. For now I'm enjoying my mk1 1200 in green on my new licence!
Take it easy mate, Scott.
Where abouts in the province are ye, I’m in Newcastle. Some nice wee bikes there.
Hello Mikey. Thanks for stopping by. I am up near Ballymoney.

That's great, I caravaned at Drumaheglis for years, even made friends with a farmer in Ballymoney called Syd, he used to be into bikes, haven't seen him in years now. I would hasten to guess that maybe you know him as well, as he's a great character. He can talk a mile a minute in a very heavy country accent. I always had to ask him to speak slower and without most of the accent lol I really miss him now.
Hi Jon
Nice bikes
What was the 5ta like to ride
Hi Michael. The 5TA was great fun to ride. I bought it to build a wee bobber, but I discovered that the top end needed rebuilt, and this ate up half my budget. I had to pay a specialist to do the work but it was worth it . The engine ran like a clock and sounded lovely. All in all I probably only put 50 miles on it before selling it on. But I had a smile on my face the whole time. The only down side was the 1950's brakes. Trying to stop required well in advance and emergency stops , totally impossible.
Hope this helps. 😎👍
