You're username reminds me of a local band from many years ago, called Dumpy's Rusty Nuts!

Gday. Steve Cooper from Sydney Australia, Age 63, riding since 16. Owned a lot of bikes (maybe about 40??) and still have about 10 of them. Ducati 1098, Hayabusa, Suzuki DRZ, Montesa/Honda trials bike, diesel Enfield, Guzzi Falcone project, DT230 etc etc.
Long ago had an IT125G which was great when I weighed about 30Kg less than now!
Mid 1980s had a brand new DT200L which I still say was my favourite bike of all time. So versatile, fun to ride and easy to repair. It finally died at 35000 Km which was a lot considering the abuse.
Currently the DT230 is used as a mini-motard every day runabout. Good but knackered R suspension hard to replace.
My reason for joining this user group: Just bought a 1982 IT465. A bit shabby but complete. Has not run for 20 years. Fingers crossed.

Welcome from another Aussie. Diesel Enfield sounds pretty interesting , being a lover of most things Diesel and different.....

Hey KJB
My brother has a TW200 that he rode across the Simpson Desert (I was on Honda CRF250L). Go-anywhere machines.
Looks like quite a collection you have there. Had an AS3 125cc many years ago that I paid $90 for with rego!
The Enfield is 1971 Indian build with Lombardini Italian pump engine. Terrible performance but extraordinary miles per gallon.

Hi Mariah and welcome from sunny So.Cal !
The Tech Library up above has a service manual for that bike. I use it for the " Greenie " project we have here, in my shop.
Since we don't know what part of the world you are in, I can only guess it's a USA bike.
Anyways, take a ton of pictures and post some up and ask a bunch of questions too.
Let's get that bike going !!!

Wow, nice site..... found this site while looking for some Yamaha information. I'm trying to fix up a fairly rough 79 GT 80 for my 10 year old son. We live between Houston and Austin Texas.
I have already found myself some tasty manuals.....Thanks to those whom uploaded them!

I worked for a Yamaha shop in the mid '70's and again from '83-'87, so I have some cobwebs in my mind from old times. Yes, I'm an old dad with young kids....

I'm a big fan of all things Yamaha. I believe in their quality.

Yes, this is a great forum with really friendly and helpful members - I would have been stuffed without them!

New from San Diego.

I race a modern 450 honda DTX in the amateur ranks in SoCal. I also have a 450r I did a cases-up rebuild and complete chassis refresh for MX.
For my next bike, I'm looking at DT 250's and 360's as a possible option. I'm excited to get into 2-stroke pipe building and porting. Should be a fun street-tracker build once I'm done.

I'm 32. Used to race Honda Trx 250r 2-stroke ATVs in the 2000's. Now I just like building stuff in the garage.

Started my MX racing back in 1973 on a mini enduro .
