15hp my *rse!

Picked the bike up this evening.
Warmed the plug, stuck in some fuel and 2 stroke oil and bump started it up
the rood. 3 attempts and it was running.
Surely just a Gianelli spannie and silencer alone can't make a '78 DT175MX
go that well?!
It flies!!! :-)
Way, way quicker than my mates de-restricted 'Powervalve' DT125LC, and it
seems a fair bit quicker than my old SRX400...
I've never been one for 'popping a wheelie' coz I don't know how, but this
things gets about 18" of air changing into 3rd gear with less than
5000rpm...

Lucky sod. A DT175MX is still on my "must have" list.
