Hey everyone.  Noob here :)  About 2 years ago a buddy of mine gave me an old 71 Yamaha DT1E.  I started working on it and got hooked!  Big time.  I'm now hopelessly obsessed with motorcycles.  I put in new break shoes, new fork seals,  replaced the carb,  had the cylinder bored and put in a new piston, changed out the right side crank seal etc. etc.  I got to ride it last summer :)  Then I found an old 73 LT3 and got that one running as well.

I've really become partial to Vintage bikes and hope to meet some locals with like mind.

Nice to meet you all.

Howdy, Dave. Sounds like you got the bug pretty bad, you poor bastard.

Welcome to the enablers' group.

No fun in the snow.  My DT came up with some issues last fall and I've only got a tiny shed to work in, so work on the bikes tends to slow to a crawl in the winter.  The LT3 isn't licensed yet.  But I'll be back on the road soon.  Just have a little carb work left for the DT.

Thanks for the welcome guys :)
