My 1978 DT 125.
Looked good on the ebay listing, not so much when I started digging at it but it's all part of the fun. :shock:
As it currently sits and some older pics.

Are you planning to put a standard rear light back on? The current set-up is bizarre...!

I know of an interesting story involving, me, a couple of friends and an air cooled DT175 that we stole back in 1985 when we were only 15 but I'll keep it to myself as this is a public forum.

I've received word the back wheel for my Bonnie has been built. The front hub is getting blasted before that's built as it didn't clean up easily like the rear.

I celebrated* by putting the first coat of smoothrite on the bare bits of frame where the powdercoat has worn off. I've also finally made the enquiry to the engineering place I want do the jobs I can't.

I might even start a thread on it finally.

That's a polite way of putting it, no it's not going back on. :lol:
Had to buy a while new set up as it looked like it had been savaged by a rabid Dog under that rubber flap.
