You must have had nice set of six pac abs back then if you rode that a lot. Takes a lot more endurance racing something like this bike over ball sportsIncluding football and basketball

I was lean for sure back then, but the YZ400 was the racing bike..... Mine was the DT400 street legal, which is actually more dangerous.. grin

I like the saddle. Reminds me of my new bike in 1985 which i used to get my motorcycle driving permit. There was something about this bike i liked with near 170 ponies under my butt from the factory. I like most favorable attention this bike would get but i didnt like everyone wanting to race me on the street. This bike was unbeatable and 10.4 seconds at 114 mph was my best time at a 1/4 mile raceway...

170 HP on a bike? ... laugh Thats probably more then my Toyota truck... uh oh I still have the 1970 Honda CL 175 that I bought in 1990, it's got a little over 5000 miles on it, it looks just like this one, mines not in mint condition like this, but it's in good original condition, same color gold... I'm thinking about selling it, I don't ride it, it needs new tires and a battery if I wanted to ride it, the tags expired in 1999... laugh

Spent yesterday pm painting tru-fire on my boarders Mariner. He said will drive it into the ground so do whatever. What gets me is the first side never turns out as well as the second. Was going to do the back sides today, but his work called him in on day off..as usual!
I tried to do a photo with post images, but this time it just wants to send links and not post the pic. Oh well. It worked once awhile ago.
I dig the one with the machined bumper and fenders. But that raw steel cost bucks.
