It was owned by the dorm RA, and he got busted with it in his room and he had to unload it FAST, in a snowstorm in January 2013. You should have seen the looks we got as we rolled it down the hall and into the elevator

Doing something "strange" like that brings a sense of smug satisfaction, doesn't it?

Yeah, those early '70's Jap dirt bikes where some great machines. Like the Yamaha AT-1, CT-1, DT-1, HT-1, JT-1, etc. I loved my AT-1 (125cc enduro), and then moved on to a Suzuki TM-125 @ 16 (since dad wouldn't let me buy a car till 17). That's an incredibly well preserved TS-185 you picked up there. It's probably worth 1 to 2 grand out there to someone on fleaBay.

1978 RM400 on the way, whoo hoo, looking forward to making some noise.

so some 35 years later I upgrade from my 76 RM250 to a 78 RM400, more power and a better suspension but other than that practically the same bike.
