I would definitely like to visit this museum. Dilligaf and Dazco, have you been there?

 

[DaveM]

I would also love to see a place like this. See some of the bikes they have for sale. This is one I would love to get hold of

SOLD: 1978 Yamaha 360, $2,500.00

 

[CarlS]

I rode one of those. It would be nice to have one again; but I would rather have a YDS-3 250cc.

 

[DaveM]

Well if I really had a choice then it would be an RT1 360 most fun I have ever had on a bike

 

[CarlS]

That whole series of Ymaha's were great bikes. I guess many of us gained our early experieince on those bikes.

 

[DaveM]

Well I have to say that I really learned how to ride a bike on my 360, no experience quite like riding in the dirt for a good few years. I sold it to purchase my Bonnie in the late 70's. Wish I had them both today Looking a bit closer at teh photo I posted I think it looks more like the DT 250 :tongue:

 

[Dilligaf]

I had an RT1 360 and am always on the lookout for a clean one.
My sister lives in Solvang, it's time for a visit.
I have not been to the museum yet.

Gary, let me know what you think of the museum.
