The're not going to show you all the secrets .that is each man's livelihood to put food in his children's mouths and my boss if not once he told me a 1000 times "KEEP IT UNDER YOUR HAT" don't be telling my customers how to fix their own bikes as they will never buy new one if they fix their old ones ..i said Gale (my boss)they are not tearing up their old bikes waiting for me to get them running again ...besides like you but working on trade ends with our motto "new used or abused you just cant loose when you deal with Hughes Honda that is red rockets and black gold wings that is as we will not be under sold ..and believe it or not Honda of Brazil Indiana sold more GL1000 and red 4 stroke quads than any dealer in the united states from 1975 - 1982 of over 2000 gold wings and over 400 farm quads every year ..big red was big ..and I was the only factory trained certified and authorized by American Honda to service all the ATVs GL1000 - 1100. -1200 s and all the CRs from 1973 to 1983 and I told every little kid how to give the intake valve on any of those four stroke quads a quarter turn backed off for tiny extra clearance after they ran them out oil dozens of times pulling the intake valves into a mushroom and the little atvs would fire back up again but mostly for the time ..as this one little kid looks up at his older brother who's maybe 9.

Kaplan team you guys have bought back so many memories for me on 2 strokes. My dad had a small farmlet and he plowed at track for me and my mate to ride on. I had a Yamaha 80 and my mate had a Jawa 150. We raced around and around it all day. We had horses, sheep and a few dry stock cattle. The animals got use to us burning around and we had so much fun. Love your work guys thanks again.

[@jimmystevens9028]

82 was the 1st yr for the liquid cooled YZ80 & it was like the 125 you have in this package, the radiator was in front of the bars. I had 3 of them for racing...Wish every day I still had 1 of them, they were so quick!

[@trblemkr1d106]

You had my teen bikes and 20's all lined up . I was literally breathless from remembering all the races , practices , rides at Keystone lake - Little Sahara , reliving my first new motocrosser and what it took to get it ..oh man . I scraped , saved and sold my record collection to get my 80 model RM 125 that I put a FOX fork kit in off the floor brand new and that bike was blessed . It never broke or failed on me and I got my first holeshot at Ponca City at my first GNC National . Like I said it was blessed . PK

[@tuesdaytv]

That 85 CR500 is amazing. Thank god that you have acquired them, no one better to care for them.

[@hankschrader149]

Ken I work in one of the oldest Navy shipyards on the west coast (established 1891) and use freight elevators every day that are from the 1900's old, but not nearly as old or cool as yours! That thing is awesome!

[@peterfranzetti9071]

I have ridden a lot of those bikes, the YZ80 is an 83, was my first bike that was new. The YZ 100 was one of the best bikes for just play riding ever made. And yes I've ridden the YZ 465 also. And I can't forget my favorite bike the Honda CR 500 1984

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Amazing find! James is the Master at delivering so many bikes, and he does it so well. I can't wait until James pulls up to my house, in Metairie, La, with my 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke RZ 350 Kenny Roberts Edition! I'm chomping at the bit to see it come off of the trailor and ride it. I know my Dad, looking down on me from Heaven, will love this 2 stroke!

That was it I made my plan I saved every penny that came my way and three year’s later I bought 1974 mx 250 with out my parents Knowledge and brought it home they let me keep it and I never looked back. Out of all the motocross bikes I have owned over the years I pine for my 1989 KX 250 it was the best bike I have ever Written to this day.

I raced two 1982 YZ 80's, 1 stock, 1 modified, they hauled. If you find a modified YZ50, let me know. I'd be game to by one YZ60 if ya still have one.
