New Old Guy From Kentucky

Hi Guys and Gals, new here, just purchase a TBR7 after watching a few of MotoCheez's videos, for my 13yr old. Now I'm wanting one for myself, or one like it. Can't wait to dive in and start my tinkering on the dang thing. Reminds me of the 80's, when all my cousin's would be together in the garage, turning wrenches, blasting classic rock, and laughing about who had the worst fall in the latest ride. Or how bad my old Elsinore just spank my cousin's brand new YZ. Those were the days!!! These bikes sure have came a long way!

Welcome aboard! These bike are just fun to own. Especially if you like tinkering around.

Welcome from NePa.. Yes, those were the days. The garages I hung at are the metal signs you see for sale at country stores and the like.. Circa late 50's and early 60's.. Real Norman Rockwell stuff..

Thanks guys, I'm thinking that the TBR7 is just going to be too tall for my 13yr old, so I'm keeping it for myself and buying my kid a viper 150 or coolster 200.
