Dirt roads for the '78 Yamaha DT175!

I've been wanting to bring the 175 Enduro out to the farmstead since we bought the place. It was just weird not having a dirtbike out there!!

That engine went into many bikes and one four wheeler over three decades. For good reason too, those things are bulletproof

Oh man, I had a '79 DT175 in the early 80's. It was the smallest bike that was legal to ride on the freeway. Great memories Thanks for the video!

Must have been fun cruising that thing around! Would take all the courage in the world to drive it on the freeway now, unfortunately :( Appreciate you checking out the video and commenting!! Cheers!

I too had that exact bike...loved it.

[@rudyargent3242]

My first ever bike when I got my licence back in 86. Brings back memories when I saw your video especially at your farm area riding

[@goatheadfarm]

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!!

[@migliaman]

Brilliant little bike, great video, thanks!

[@WildBlueYonderDay]

What a distinct sound. I had that bike and sure wish I had it yet.

[@goatheadfarm]

It truly is such a distinct sound! I feel lucky to have it! such a fun little bike!

[@kevinfiebelkorn4715]

Don't you wish they all started that easy? I envy you being out there on a country road. I haven't been on a bike in a few years but I've kept my license just in case.

[@goatheadfarm]

It sure would be nice! Seems like this bike can sit and sit and just keeps on running! I love it. Nothing beats the calming affect of cruising open dirt roads, at least for me. During harvest it gets a bit crazy, otherwise it's just so calm and peaceful. Thanks Kevin - always look forward to your comments and truly appreciate them. Cheers! Derek

I took my motorcycle test on that same bike in the early 80s. I see a Co, license plate, could be my old bike. I can almost smell the exhaust.

[@goatheadfarm]

I know what you mean about being able to smell the exhaust. Every time I start it it's there and kind of smells like an old friend :) I bought the bike a few years ago near Salida, Colorado, so definitely could have been yours. How crazy would that be!
