It's Alive

A-HA hahaha, It's alive!!! (Say that it in the way that Gene Wilder might say it in Young Frankenstein ).

Here at the skatetruck portal we've had this sweet little Yamaha DT175 sitting up on blocks in the stages of a project type of thing for at least five years. Over the past couple months the procrastination bug has actually left the premises and there has been some real progress made on the little motorbike.

Our first inclination was to make a cool dual-sport kind of thing, as it is street legal, and we do posess the working title. But after further consideration the choice was made to turn it in the direction of a woods bike that could run in AHRMA's Sportsman 200 class. The thinking is that we would take in some of the cross-country hare-scrambles that are close and that don't conflict with the trials schedule. Just for fun of course, 'cause I'm slow as a dog in the woods and when somebody comes up behind me I just get the hell out of the way!
