Yamaha TT description

This TT500 belonged to a friend for many years. It was used in the 80's to ride to the trail heads of every 14ner in Colorado. At that time lights and mirrors were added and it was titled to make it street legal.Lights are not hooked up at this time.
After all 14ner were conquered it was parked in a shed. I bought the bike a few years ago to get it running and use on local trails. After changing the oil and cleaning the carburetor I eventually figured out how to properly start this beast. It never smoked. Riding it up the street and doing an involuntary "Wheelie" I decided that this is not for me. Last week I cleaned the carburetor again and started it.
Some research showed me that this is the 152nd TT500 ever build, and I would guess that most of them were either wrecked or are by now scrapped.
The value of this bike lies in its extremely low serial number and the original low exhaust. The original tank and exhaust end piece "disappeared" while parked. Please look closely at all pictures !
The numbers on engine and frame match, I have a Colorado title in my name.
This bike deserves to be expertly restored.

Three-year-old donuts

Wed, 29 Dec 2010

This is the son of stunt riding genius Christian Pfeiffer, Hannes, who at the age of three can already do donuts better than you. Not only is this the most adorable thing to ever feature on Visordown but it seems as though the genes run in the family as young Hannes Pfeiffer is making his dad proud on a 90cc Yamaha quad.

Motogpnews.com. A blatant but worthwhile plug

Mon, 02 Aug 2010

This story was published by our friends on motogpnews.com. It's not supposed to be serious: Fiat Yamaha application form Now you can take Rossi's space The expected departure of Vale46 ™ "Fack"© Rossi from the Fiat Yamaha team at the end of the season leaves a dwarf star sized hole in the motogp stratosphere. Popular opinion places Ben Spies firmly in the saddle of the ex-yellow liveried M1, but MGPN can exclusively revel that Yamaha big bosses are worried that Ben doesn't possess the necessary character traits to step up into the role.
