There is actually a series of 5 (I think) video clips with that detailing the acquisition and build and ending with the ride!
IF it isn't one thing, it's another.

I watched the whole series... the riders of the old air cooled two strokes... a 1980 YZ125 and 1981 DT175 had a blast! Others said they were jealous of the old two strokes. DT175 rider made the whole run without dropping his bike even once. Brutal terrain. I was impressed they made it at all. Lots of comments about how much fun they had on the old bikes.

Here it is as a playlist. I'm surprised the '80 YZ 125 did so well in that kind of terrain!

This has been great "lockdown" entertainment, I've watched 4 of the 5 and looking forward to the last a little later on.

Cool guys and a cool place to work, thanks for sharing Darinm !

I laughed so hard when, while they were all finishing up their work on their bikes, 4 of them zip tied the fifth's bike to his stand, and he could not lift it off. Thought it's what my brothers would have done to me years ago!!!
