Title: Another Newbee
Post by: Stepho Jacobs on May 20, 2011, 02:32:31 AM
Hello everyone.  I would like to say that i really enjoy this forum.  I have referred to this forum on many occasions.  After this weekend i will officially register as a active member.  I am on the tail end of a build of a 1972 DKW 125 motocross hornet set up to race the Marty Tripes 100 works revenge.  I am planning to take it to competitive edge this Sunday.  I don't think i will have a day of testing my new ride but i will be doing some tuning around the shop.  I have desleeved the motor to the 100cc class rules, and also changed the suspension.  I did not paint the frame as i have not received my new shock and i dont know if the resivors will fit the frame.  Hope to maybe meet a couple of you guys out there.  I went out there last time with my red Sachs/DKW but I had the trans shimmed wrong and never got a lap in.  
Cheers

Welcome to the group. I remember the Sachs from the last race. Very nice bike and great detail work.  I will be there, this time with a 1972 CZ and my 1976-7 MC-5 250.  I will make a point of introducing myself on Sunday.
