I had one of those for a month or so in 1990 before someone thought they deserved it more than me and knicked it.
Treated myself later that year though to a 1990 DTR.

Rented either a 125 or 175 (can't remember which) in 1980 for 3 days and did south of France coast 2 up..........superb!!!!

I'd have another today if I could find the right one. :nod:

My brother bought a (I think) new DT50 many moons ago and it went so much better than the clapped out rubbish (all two of them) I used to have :crybaby: . It had the large frame, which I think was used to house either the 50cc and 125cc engine. Sold it and bought a clapped out Ford Escort van, what a numpty he was :D

My first road bike was a 1973 Suzuki B120, same year I was born. :nod:

My brother gave me the bike for my 17th birthday taxed and tested, I just had to insure it. :)

There was a guy in Paisley years ago (1988 or therabouts) had a DT LC but had RD bodywork on it. It looked really pretty cool.

My first bike was a James Captain 197cc back in 1969. :nod: Bloody thing kept breaking day every week. :lol: Spent more time fixing it than riding it. Bit like this exup I have now :lol: :lol: :lol:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
