I had a 1978 dt100 that had been ridden a ton before i got it. I just picked up a great condition 1978 dt100 for my boys last weekend. I am so excited to share some of my youth with them.

A 1980 DT100G was a HUGE part of my life! My MOTHER (how many people get to say MOTHER?) got one when I was a kid so she could ride the dirt roads of Southwest Georgia WITH ME. Rare and wonderful! When she wasn’t riding it, and I wasn’t riding my 50cc Puch moped to school or work, or my YZ80, YZ100, YZ125, or IT490 at the track, I was (most of the time) riding the DT100G. It was my (our) first (of many) dual-sport bikes. Amazing times! The BEST of times! 😍😍😍

Wow, that takes some of us back to our mis spent youth as a teenager!

[@dirkdiggler6230]

well spent youth , beats sitting in front of computers

[@donkeyballs3307]

Alotta childhood memories right there 👍

[@davyjones2994]

I love these little small enduros You can get them crazy cheap here in Texas, just pray they kept oil in them over the years

[@ryanwinn8543]

It’s very true

[@markcollins5026]

Man, off roading is big here in Arizona, nothing cheap here, if you can even find anything for sale haha !

[@pbmachines972]

Man that sound is scorched into my skull too🤦‍♂️👊

[@richardyanoski7713]

Found a 1980 one complete!!! Fires right up . Didn’t think twice about trading a Honda recon 250 even up for it . Got it for plans to full resto and before that to teach my younger sister how to drive clutch .

[@martinheatingcoolingmartin4693]

I’m more amused with the big knife and pistol on your side, that’s awesome! 🤣

[@markkus1134]

Loved my mint 1981 DT 175 red also mine had under 2000 original miles saw it on the side of the road bought it instantly!

[@jonetshkin]

My dad had a Dt125 back in the 70s. he bought it brand new and rode the wheels of it just like u said. after 2 years he had 30k on the clock and engine was done :D Great content as always, keep it comin!

[@JohnnyLee8355]

How done was done?😨

[@Amar1338]

Rare Ripper. Your stable of bikes clusterfucks me with emotions😂 ♥️

[@chareshorton2956]

My dad bought me one when I was 11 year old just like that damn good bikes

[@matthewkrisowaty7053]

Wow this was my first bike with a clutch..I loved this bike rode it for years .. never had to fix anything..was bulletproof.. gas oil ..clean air filter.. lube chain..was just an amazing machine I would buy this bike again if I had the $

[@jorda.2412]

Bush trails and fire roads of the early 80s 80cc and 100cc..110cc.125 4ts. Xr .Dr,,dt,trail 70 or 90.....fun times.

[@ianmangham4570]

Awesome, use to ride my older bros in the 70s, always with the front fork seals 😄

[@oneman1812]

Truely, Ken is 1 of the LAst M0HEEGANZ. Love all the bikes & vidz. Thumbs up.

[@plumberhero]

I had a silver one when I was 8. My old man bought it for $400 bucks. The throttle stuck on me one day, I panicked and climbed halfway up my neighbors fence and looped out. Scared the crap out me lol.

[@steviewaichulis]

I had one of these in the late 80s / early 90s. :-)

[@Cleanestdt100]

My did rode a one when he was a kid and now I ride it. They are so good. I’m surprised how many miles that has. Mine is almost at 10k

[@singlejingle_ka]

Makes me miss my ‘82 DT100 so much. I traded it last month for an ‘80 Suzuki RS250. Only had 2,000 miles on it :(

[@singlejingle_ka]

Another thing to add, headlight is powered from the stator via the lighting coil. The turn signals and brake light was powered by the battery.

[@deborahchesser7375]

The first real bike I ever rode, same color too. Then I got a 79’ IT 175, oh gosh to go back.

[@menditman2004]

Hi I have a Yamaha mx100 (I gather that’s the off road dt100) It does need some refurbishment (which I’m featuring on my channel) I’m in the U.K. but mines a US import. Lovely little bikes and they sound great. Good video🙂👍

[@olmergarces6497]

Hermosa moto!! Saludos desde Pereira Colombia!!

[@jamesclark5082]

Nice I used to have one they are bullet proof

[@robertblanchard6196]

My son needs a headlight for his 81' dt 80 with 1280 miles. All original except the valve stem caps.

[@mikeschlup5279]

Torque Induction....baby!

[@Frisky_FZR]

[@DOC-Jake-]

Nice bike. Better side arm 👍. I’m getting down this week !

[@captainamerica8589]

I just bought a 1977 dt100

[@justinstearns9723]

I had an 82 MX 100 a couple years ago. The off road version of the DT. Ran but it was pretty much a basket case otherwise.

[@jasonpartelle7182]

That was my first bike, upgraded to a AG100 Yamaha. The mx100 went alot better😮

[@romeparrilla8307]

awesome bike,i loved it,can u please tell me what the actual color is that?thank you very much....

[@stevenstorm9824]

My first bike. Love it. How do I buy one.

[@hdfxst1521]

I had a 79 white dt100, fun bike. What’s the price for this one? My son would love it!

[@chuckhilzendager5353]

My moms boyfriend just sold one I had gave him and told him not to and would I sure like to kick his asa right now it was less miles and complete cause I have one and it’s a blast just no headlight or back break light all stiff I was going for the cafe racer look and still might get the seat and shave the back shorter I am just upset right now they are such a great bike for a boy to start off on you should see the kids smile and eyes light up ripping that thing around I am giving mine to my step son now that’s what I dreamed my dad would get me and never got nothing but a dead beat dad

[@tateportman4867]
