Wow factor is right, beautiful preservation. Can’t believe your nearly 60, you seriously look 40 years old. Doing what you love keeps you young.

Truly legendary gorgeous 2 stroke dirtbike. Love the baby blue and white colored paint job. Truly love the exhaust note of that Bassani exhaust system. Loved the Bassani Story you told, regarding Taylor. ML&R.

Picked up a ‘72 TS185 with the red paint that was pretty rough and got her fixed up into a reliable rider. Really fun bike. Likes to rev out and being light, it makes for a fun vintage woods bike. Might have it out at Mid Ohio this year to ride around the swap meet on.
