YEP My lil late 70's (cant tell which year it is. Anyone know? LOL) Yamaha GT 80 2smoke. This lil guy starts on the first kick even when its 25 degrees out. It has trials type tires on it, and it plows through the foot of snow I have here. I live on a huge hill so i park my truck at the bottom of the mile long hill, and ride the gt back to my garage.

In the morning, I fire this sucker up at 4:45am, and ride down to the truck, load it up and head to work. Its been a repeating cycle for the last 3 mornings. Damn I love this lil bike :thumbsup:

Anyone else got a lil bike they been puttin around on in these times?

I've been rocking the ttr 150 (125) for a few days now.

I was promised some "me time" this afternoon, I'll try and document the ensuing debacle. Hmm, Spree or XR? Oh, maybe I'll get the death-trap mini bike running tonight. Best part is if it catches on fire again, I'll just lean it over to save my butt.

Now this is a snow machine, I haven't gotten stuck yet. Little wet but getting around real good. Im just kinda curious what the cops would say, so Any LEO'S thoughts would be appreciated.

jeeperman · 12-22-2008, 04:16 PM

LOL! Darren that bike looks familiar....but I would have to get it up on one wheel, to be sure.

Okay, didn't get home in time to destroy what little self-esteem that I currently have. My promise to y'all- As long as there is snow on the ground on, during, or after Xmas eve, I will attempt to produce a video worthy of something. Does PNW give out awards for ignorance, stupidity, blinding idiocy and foolishness? No? Well, I will do my best to fulfill my promise.

How about this- To show what level I aspire to, check out Maddie's "sled" and see to what levels I will stoop to embrace my inner redneck.

That's a cute little bugger Darren!

Minibikes FTW!!

Do what you must with what you have. Buy a sled? I don't think so. After 4 days cooped up with my girls, I needed to get outside, in any fashion, in any weather. 5 minutes of prep for hours of fun.

Thanks Mark! Cant complain, found it from a fellow supermoto rider, actually he was the supermoto usa champ a few years ago, small world! But it runs great, bent shift fork so going back down from first to neutral you have to click down, slightly lift the shifter with your toe then kick down again LOL and it goes to neutral. Neutrals at the bottom, 4 shifts up

Phil. Thats awesome. Your daughter is adorable!

Dont feel bad. I have a truck that just blew out its heater core. I drive to work at 4:30am, and i wipe off my windshield from fog every mile.

RVFR · 12-22-2008, 07:27 PM

Nothing like the smell of a 2 stroke.

mnewell · 12-22-2008, 10:54 PM

Been running around on my girl's TTR125. Perfect bike for the snow. Great for runs to the store and towing sledders around the neighborhood.
