Hi there. I loved every minute of my ride i can tell you! I put the number plate downthere just because i thought it looked better. Im trying to keep any modifications drastically different to stock so it becomes obvious whats original and whats not. Id use original parts but the costs and unavailability of many pieces in the UK have put me off a full restoration. Ive also tried to not modify any of the few original features of the bike. The number plate is actually mounted on a bracket fixed to the bolt where the chain gaurd would normally go. You never know one day i may gather up enough missing parts to restore it but for now its a useable machine and its about the most fun bike I own!

Great news ......
There are many different views on what a bike should be or look like ...... all valid and right for each owner!! The most important thing in my opinion is getting them to a point of where you can use them as intended regardless of what parts you use or how correct they are ....


Looks like you have some good riding country up there!

Enjoy your DT1

Cheers

A little NW color for your weekend!

Here's my 71 dt1

A picture sent to me by Steve Hass. Steve said he still has the bike and a spare motor and plans to restore it.

1971 RT1B 360 pulling a wheelie.

Local car club had their 40th and final car show on Sunday. For old times sake, I entered the DT1-C in the special interest class. Forty mile round tripper on the bike and a great day in the sunshine surrounded by over 200 beautiful vintage vehicles.

I've taken mine to some local car events. There are many who appreciate them. It seems that vintage Enduros are welcome anywhere.

Here's a couple pictures of my RT build.

My DT1 bought new in Parker, AZ in 1971. This picture was in Yuma in probably 1974 in front of my Mom & Dad's house. I had cut and lowered the frame and put lots of plastic on it.
