        I was at a loose end waiting for my wheels, innocently browsing ebay, saw an 89 dt sold a week ago relisted due to time waster. Piqued my interest and a DEAL was struck in the old man household that one in, one out. Agreed to sell a 125 bike bought for my son that he no longer uses, a Lexmoto Venom. Watched the 89 and failed to sell, contacted seller and struck a deal, picked up yesterday so have my winter project lined up. Had a quick inspection and although powder coated previously a fair amount of rust coming through, swingarm sound though. Calipers look ok and all plastics present and undamaged bar the locating hook on the oil tank cover. No power valve actuator but will pick one up when I am ready.Brand new tyres, Michelin proenduro I think, not sure if they are road legal. Tank looks like it has been enamelled (do they do that?) And the design in photo is in the enamel. Cruddy inside but have a spare tank anyway that just needs spraying. Story is it stood for a long time before being restored(!) By the 2nd last owner, sorry if you are reading this but must try harder😉. That's it for this one until the first is finished completely, .
        Maybe I should set up a self help group "Hello, I am oldman and I am a dtraholic!" But I did say I liked the white and red model!

                        Are you fitting a rack to the red one? Personally I think it fills the gap created by the raised seat / mudguard and looks better than those YZ style replacement mudguards from Portugal.

                            Rack picked up from powder coating this afternoon and fitting weekend, exhaust completed as well so that's on the to do list.
                            Don't Honda's have wheels either😂

                                        I am lucky in having a man cave to indulge myself, took a lot of years to get it, but still lust after not a double but a triple man cave! Now where's my lottery ticket

                                          @oldman it's a strange concept isn't it you get your dream bike but there's always another always something to aspire to for example my dt is beat up its old and a lot doesent work but believe it or not it's one of my dream bikes I've been dreaming of a "full size bike" for a long time since I've only ever owned pitbikes
