Did a 140 mile loop on the 'ol DT1 last weekend. Modesto to Livermore, did a bike show, then back home. 

Bike show with DT1, an X6 Hustler and '72 RT2
 

DT1 on the Interstate 5 overpass in Tracy CA on Linne Road. 
 

Hey Evan, just keep adding gas and oil, you will be down here in no time !

Wow what a great ride!
not to get too personal, but how much do you happen to weigh, how much gas did you burn and how hilly on average was your route?

I have a dt1e and am trying to determine whether i need to bring gas to get up a mountain by my house. 
Thanks

I'm about 215 all wet on the bike. Filling at about the 55-60 mile mark was to just under 2 gallons, and was still on the main of the petcock, not reserve. 160 main jet, clip is 2nd from the bottom, a little fat but I'll take the protection, and autolube, no premix. It's a pretty flat ride, with 1 minimal hilly range to cross. Pretty decent headwind heading west and all at my back heading east.

(Repeat of a previous post)
"I bought this DT250B from the original owners for $500 because it had no spark and they had given up on it years ago. They had a hard time parting with it because the owner had passed and the family kept the bike. Once they learned that I had a collection of old Enduros it seemed to ease their minds and they let it go."

Well a cool thing happened the other day. I had text a photo of the bike to the family (son) and said I got it running and it cleaned up well. They text back saying they were so glad I ended up with the bike and they included a photo of the original owner on the bike shortly after he bought it. 
 
 


 

Hot out west but not too hot to ride in my neck of the woods at least!
 

 

Not a Yamaha but still a motorcycle, I’m at Grande Hot Springs Rv Resort, La Grande OR.

Mark, did the building collapse from the roar of your CT110?
Looks like a great place to explore.

Change of colour,,  

Blackhat250, that certainly is a great 'Scottish' colour and it makes it stand out from the yellow used on many 400's (and 250's).  Some colours work and others don't and I reckon you've nailed it with your paint job..........BUT (and there's always a but )  Isn't that the ugliest tail light assembly you've ever seen on a trail bike? Like you I have a UK bike and since I'm hoping to keep it absolutely stock I'm looking to give my bike the 'tombstone' light unit (thanks G8uncleal for enlightening me that's what they are called). I must be crazy really when I compare it with the neat  rectangular or circular arrangements used in other countries, which I much prefer.  Anyway putting that to one side you've built a great bike there. All the best Andy.
