Yamaha Other description

Howdy, Have this near bone stock 1974 DT250 my lousy back won't let me ride anymore, so here ya go.  All original except rear turn signals, the tool kit is still under the seat, amazing.  On original bore, rings still almost shiny, no seizure marks, ready to go and go and go.  Tires are about 3/4 tread left, oil injection system still working so no pre-mixing needed.  Nice that this model's sprockets can be flipped for double the life when needed in the future, these have 12K miles, not bad.  Chain outer links are rusty from when it sat out for a long time, chain itself I cleaned, only 1" stretch, still good.  No rust in tank, replaced fuel lines and filter.  Starts first kick (has a fresh plug), runs like a bat, embarrassingly fun with the low gearing that's on it, ring-ding it through the gears and you're only doing 50mph, fun.  Air cleaner is K&N type, needs an oiling.  Wheels are straight, no rust to speak of.  Only negative is seat, the pan rusted when sitting, I put the funky cover on it wears now.  Your butt won't know the difference. Not sure what else to say, except I'd put my grand kids on it, I consider it safe and sure.  AZ title notarized and ready to go.  Will consider using my van to deliver it once paid for at say a buck a mile one way?  Thanks, Bruce in Tombstone.  PS, might swap for a DSL, RPK or Dragonov with scope and extras, I'm an FFL.

Our Magnificent seven

Wed, 16 Feb 2011

Remember to dust your Union Jacks down if you happen to be visiting any Grand Prix this year as we have no less than seven youngsters to cheer on in the junior Moto GP classes. I don’t think we’ve ever had this many ‘yoofs’ in the GP paddock so let’s hope they can do the business and bring an end to our long drought of Grand Prix titles. And that could be soon as Scott Redding is already a hot favourite for the 2011 Moto 2 championship on his Marc VDS Suter machine.

Burgess will be replaced by Louis CK lookalike Silvano Galbusera, a veteran crew chief and mechanic whose most extensive experience comes from World Superbike and Supersport racing. As crew chief and/or technical director, Galbusera has worked with an impressive roster of riders including Troy Corser, Noriyuki Haga, Cal Crutchlow and Ben Spies.
