| The bike with her previous owner, Estera |
This morning, a beautiful day in Chicago, my friend Lou and I drove to the upper North Side and purchased this mostly original 1974 Yamaha RD125. The bike had wintered last year as pictured below, under a staircase in the courtyard of a brick building. Estera, the seller, told us that it was much cleaner prior to its unfortunate winterizing. She was very kind, allowing me to have the bike for my low offer and even threw in a Haynes manual. I think she wanted the bike to go to a good home.
