😀❤️...Gotta Love Moses. He's a good dude! Brings back good memories from the 70's. Dad and my Uncle had 1978 Yamaha DT 125's. They took the street kit off, and just rode them in the dirt. This is where my love and obsession for dirtbikes began. Dad's tank was a Kawasaki Green, that I truly loved. I was 5 back then. Thanks for the video, Brother!
Mate as always you make us all feel so good about life whenever you get in front of that lense !! The dt is definitely one of the biggest running series of bikes ever made , I have 3 of them and always looking for more 🤟🤟 much love brother !!
Loved the red 1981 DT 175 I had a few years ago it only had 3000 miles on it with the factory rear rack on it , Now I have a WR250r 2008 with 4000 original miles !

Two beautiful women and a yamaha, didn't think it could get much better. Then Sr goes nuts to butts with Moses and Kyle I about died laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sr is always good for a laugh
You do know, broads love 2 stroke ping pingers. I took a broad for a ride on my 84 500r race bike and the broad that rode back seat wanted just the engine. LOL! Rang-dang-dang. 😉🤠
Your neighbors either love you, or don’t quite love you 😀 But TH-cam loves you! I was very fortunate to get to visit your place returning from a visit to Boston. You were filming for an add for a car you were selling. After you were done you took the time to talk and even told me to move the car closer to the building so that my father could access the museum easier. You’re good people Ken!
Nice Ladys , nice Boys on a Dt 400 .😅 Respect on Japan Enginiering. My Dt 400 ( Mono)was not a bad Two Stroke Monster. Only 25 Horspower and fired a lot off Gasoline .

It's cool..cause I've got my moms new Bic flick! * Truth The Bic was almost as popular as the bike at times.lol Those big bores were sweet bikes...dad bikes ,yet an asperation.
What a laugh .I drove my gpz305 with 3 passengers once for a laugh .Big Dave perched on the tailpiece arms stretched forward holding tbe sides of my leather jacket to keep the "sandwich " together .What a hoot 😅
Yes! This one had me busting up! Haha, I bought a used DT in 83 at a neighborhood garage sale as a 13 year old kid. I rode it everywhere unlicensed when parents were gone and with two neighborhood girlfriends too! Though we rode with one up front and one behind me.... Great times, thanks for the memories! 👍👍
When I was 16 I took 2 girls home from the bus stop like that.I had a silver tank yz125. When I crossed this small bridge the one on the very back fell off in between the knobby tire and the frame.Instant brakes and tore her ass up, I felt terrible.She recovered okay but as kids we always think of consequences after they happen !
My last DT I owned cost me 50.00$ After Beach romping it in Mexico all weekend I traded it for 50 Pound's of Fresh Jumbo Shrimp !!! Memories !! Look's like you got your Hand's Full o Babe's !
I did the same thing in1972. I was 12 on my Yamaha Jt-1 mini enduro (60) I had 3 girls on it ( they were 14 ) and we were looking for my big brother and his buddies, ( the girl’s boyfriends) I didn’t care I HOT BOBBIES RUBBED ALL OVER MY . I knew where they were but acted like I didn’t. We Rudd around the neighborhood for hours and hours. I need to get up there . I’m looking for a zl900 red stock eliminator . Or a 2003 blue zrx 1200.
Honda you mean. Yammies are great too though. I had a 72 enticer 340 snowmobile that you couldn't kill. Lol and I currently have a 71 DT360 with 4500 miles. And a 82 XS400RJ seca
@@americandude3825 Hahaha yea or Honda should acquire them ;) Honda cars are amazing what are you talking about!? I have two cars and one CRV all from the 90s. One car is my all original mint 96 daily driver and the other is my 92 swapped B series 6 speed LSD, fully built and boosted EG6 hatchback at 42psi absolute beast that dominates the streets, circuit track and drag strip! And still will last long doing it! 1100hp at 1500 lbs curb weight 🤙🏼. Crv is 98.
@@JLUX100 I mean their newer 1.5T sucks and they still use timing belts instead of chains and their Odyssey transmissions still have issues since 2012.
Omg, I had a 250 I think 78 or 79, whichever was the first year monoshock. Way up under the tank, I had to solder holes in the tank practically every time I took it out into the woods that are currently being destroyed by new home builders. Was my second bike about 30 years ago.
Man I miss my old dt400. Dad broke his hand riding it one day and he got up from the crash and laughed saying it hurts but man was that fun.Never gonna forget that.
Any bike that can haul 2 beautiful women at once plus the rider is the one I want to be on! I had a 75 DT 400 in the 90’s. Great running bikes. Tons Of torque.
As much as I absolutely love this particular bike, I'll have to pass on purchasing it. I'm waiting for the 4 seat model so I can take my wife and 2 kids.
I'm all the sudden having flashbacks of being on an Indian roadway 😅 it does bring back memories though I piled seven of the hottest chicks I can find on my bike and took them ladies down the side of a pond back ... in the dark with no headlights I DID get them screams goin' I guess you could say it was like a motorcycle pond Bank roller coaster 😅
I had a Yamaha DT 400 just like that one.It was the first Motorcycle that I legally rode on the road with a license plate.Road it a little bit too hard on our Motocross track after stripping it down.Broke both the rear shocks and ended blowing the motor.After fixing it and selling it I bought My first Suzuki RM 125N.Loved that Bike plus it was made for jumping big jumps and riding hard.
Bad ass so is that how you hook up with two chicks you just got to make sure you have enough seat in the back huh Captain America your rock man have a good day brother

have a red 81 as well, it's the best small dual sport ever made, even now. and the last year. if anyone knows of something better.,., please post it

Looks like a super fun place to work!! I must submit an application.
Looks like fun. Old-school Yamahas put out a sweet 2 smoke sound! 👍 🇺🇸
At a time when everyone wants these cool older bikes, why aren’t manufacturers making any?
My parents got me a barn find 1981 dt125 enduro (in 1992 when I was 12yr old) it was my first Big Boy Bike
Kaplan demonstrating one of many modes of family travel often popular in Asia.
I had that bike. The guy at the junk yard should have sold me that front tire and rim when i asked him. I sure got a lot of miles on that wheel.
Nice bike!
Y’all having too much damn fun on that thing man ! Lol ✌🏼
Great bikes I had one but it was a 1974 dt 250
When my girls grow up I want to be just like Kaplan America
God bless America 🇺🇲

Poor Moses had to sit in the back of the bus. I'm sure his balls are not complaining about not being able to produce anymore kids. 😆

I can't remember if my Yamaha 360 Enduro was a 72 or 73. Sure was a fun bike.
I have one of them DT360 mines 71 I believe but could be 72.
Had a '74 DT360 in High School. What a blast that thing was.
Same loved my dt 360 thinking it has more torque compared to the dt400
