Why I Bought a Vintage Motorcycle in 2021 - 1972 Yamaha LT2 100 Enduro

I bought a vintage motorcycle recently, a 1972 Yamaha LT2 100 Enduro, and working on it reminded me of childhood memories. A series of events while working on the Yamaha took me back through my motorcycle history and I thought you viewers, the ones that love bikes as much as I do, might find it interesting.

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on YouTube.

Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
