    Just saw a Verizon ad that that all old time 2 stroke riders know well

    I just saw this new verizon 4g ad with this kid running out to the road down from the farm. Real quick I saw an old Yellow 2 stroke YZ leaning against the barn. I tried a double take but it was too quick. He comes back to the barn and theres what looks like a 250 or 490 early 80's. What made it so good is that the rear fender was broke off at the seat. Any of you that ride 2 strokes and especially the older members remember. Those 2 strokes would put you on your ass and the rear fender would snap off or break and you would have to saw it off. I can remember 2 fender snap offs and one was on a 490 on the street. I got on that beast and got some wheel spin then it grabbed and all I remember is being on my ass sliding down the street. My friends made fun of me for about a month which is about the time for my skin to grow back.

    I had a 84' YZ-125 that was torquey as hell, one of my most fav rides. I've been trying to find a complete running one and is rare to find...beets

    It looks like a 1980 Rm125... but missing the rear fender and had a JT rear sprocket (I had one on my 77 that looked exactly the same) Thanks for the screen shot!
