My YZ

[anotherguy]

After sitting for a few years I decided I wasn't letting another riding season slide by without riding off road. So a gallon of fresh 40:1. 15PSI front and rear. Turn the gas on and lean it over 'til gas overflows form the carb. 4 or 5 kicks with the pipe plug in.........take the plug out and 3 kicks and she pinged into life. Rode for 15 minutes or so in the back field. Man I missed that feeling. What a beast. Even time for a new photo of the well used monster. Now to get in riding shape for May at Mountain Ridge. :D

That's pretty cool.

I know what my 250 is like when it gets on the pipe so I can't even imagine how you hang on to that thing; or maybe it just digs an even deeper ditch

I am glad the era of drum brakes has ended though....

Hope to see it first hand at the reunion.

Very nice! That's from the era when I first started riding (albeit on a much smaller bike). You gotta watch taking time off. I did that and 10 or 11 years passed before I realized I'd stopped riding (was still riding street bikes though).

The reactions are still there. I've been riding that bike for a couple decades so it comes back quickly. Not to mention my streetbikes are as beastly as the YZ. Then there's the CRF450R..............
