The IT 175 runs again

* s288.photobucket . com /albums/ll196/b8es/

After two years in purs like a kitten. It started on the forth kick
sitting down on the seat and blew out a minimal amount of smoke ast it
cleared itself out. I rode it up the street to check out the gears and
such and it begged me for a ride into the mountains. It is basicaly
stock with added aluminum hand protection but that's about it. I have
several thousand miles on it as a practice bike and taught many spodes
how to ride with it. It has the old rat bike look only a hardcore
dirtbiker would love but it is about indestructable and fun to ride in
the woods. OF

Nice!

I recently revived an XR250 that had been sitting blown up for the
last 10 or 15 years. Fun to bring a bike back from the dead, isn't it?

Those are sweet trailbikes. Yours has that "rough around the edges"
look that's just begging to be taken out and ridden hard, so be sure
you don't disappoint the little bike.
Nice work, oldfart. Enjoy the hell out of it.
