paulus 26 Posted October 20 Author Report Share Posted October 20 Not be able to do much recently but i have nearly managed to finish both the 1978 DT125E and the little Beta R12, i also brought a Frankenstein cobbled together 1978 DT50M, going to cost far more than its worth to put right but i will do it because its the first road legal bike i owned back in 1981.
