Wow, nice find. I agree, no reason to restore this one. It still has the cable stays, rubber fender flap, chain guard and dual sprockets. You know, the usual suspects that leave home at an early age. ...

I see you have the picture thing figured out, great. You have a really good starting point for your build. These little Yam's can be made into cool cafe racers. This is a 6 volt system, right? Click t ...

Hey thats great Rizingson, you must be excited. It must be a good feeling when you can embrace your hobby full time, or at least whenever you want to. Are you already making plans to fill your day. Le ...
