16 INSANELY RARE & MINT CONDITION MOTORCYCLES FROM COLLECTORS ARRIVE AT KAPLAN CYCLES ON LABOR DAY

[@brownydwbrown7485]

I had major withdrawal issues when I saw this episode....Thankyou so much from a 63 yr young man, that used to drive some of those very bikes.

[@Animalstyle69]

Don’t do the 60 years young thing why not just embrace age do we really have to use an antonym? Are you gonna still say that when you’re 80? You’re not young anymore but that’s OK dude time to let go.

[@dannymatts1883]

Ahhh tha labor day sweet spot boys. Gotta love th old school mints..

[@brokendown63]

I still have my Dad's 1973 Penton 125 Six Day, he bought the thing brand new and it still gets to go racing once in awhile. It's unfortunate that I live as far away from you as I do. I believe I would enjoy a position working with you guys. I started racing in 1968 at 5 years old and have never stopped. I've either owned, ridden or raced along side many, many of the bikes in your videos. I grew up and old with these bikes and even now still race VMX with a couple. I live elsewhere now but was born and grew up racing in Southern California, San Bernardino to be exact, in the heyday of the sport and I'm blessed to still be involved today. I truly appreciate you videos, Particularly the 76 to 80 era bikes, they bring the memories and that's a good thing.

[@richardortiz8704]

You want to watch for him by a cheap find mork when they're worth their more money

[@shoominati23]

You can actually fill the tyres of that Rokon with petrol. Thats what the loggers and hunters would do, they would fill the tyres up with gas so they had extra for however long they were going to their spot, and then they would get the rokon and put the rest of their stuff on a raft or whatever and float it down the river to their camp it was designed to do that.

[@augustreil]

That is crazy, thanks for the info !

[@paulmacdonald3817]

That’s a 1980 RM 125T model you have there. Man I am so jealous of your pristine vintage motorcycles.

[@Muddymikey]

I noticed that too. The '79s had a weird square rear fender and the blue stripes went vertical at the front of the tank. I had one.

[@charlesholden325]

@@Muddymikey I agree that bike is a 1980 RM. Same with the RS 250 pretty sure its a 1980 as well. The RS came in a 175 and 250. I think it was a serious playbike something between a RM and a PE but a step ahead of a DS.

[@thomasnikkola5600]

My buddy had some neighbors next to their cabin in Northern Michigan and the had a couple Manco big wheels and the ole guy was really cool. He let my buddy and me take them out one afternoon and let me tell you, they were a blast they can cross any stream and just crawl up the rocks and sand hills! I had no idea how fun those type bikes could be! I had a 79 RM125 and that Manco could devastate it on the trails!

[@theariesexperiment4642]

Oh My!!! That 250 Huskvarna is all I want. Love that bike.

Yup. You take the plastic off you can barely tell what bike ya got anymore unless the frame is company colors.

My God, you are rolling out my early high school dream line up. I would pour over Dirt Bike magazine and just dream of some day owning these bikes. That day never happened for that 16 year old. Raised in the suburbs with nothing but track homes and pavement for miles and parents who could have cared less about dirt bikes. Lol. Then I got into mini trucks and cars. I haven’t thought about these things until now. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

[@goochma]

When I was just a kid, I had a Yamaha MX 80 as my first bike. When I turned 14 my mother bought me a used 1974 Suzuki TM 125. Man, I loved that bike. I learned to ride on that bike. Seeing those bikes coming off that trailer brought me back to the good old days.
