Howdy folks,
I started out 2018 by picking up a Bridgestone DT175 I found on Craigslist, In Hazel Park, just west of Detroit. This is my first Bridgestone motorcycle and I am pretty excited about it. I am obsessed with the 1972-1974 Honda CB350F (tiny four cylinder)... so most of my motorcycle history involves smaller Honda fours.
I am 24 and went to college for Automotive Restoration, in Kansas, where I met some awesome friends and got my first taste of old motorcycles. I'm fairly certain my Bridgestone spent virtually it's entire life in northern Michigan based off the sellers info. It also appears to have been parked in 1975 (judging by the original 1975 Michigan plate). I plan on preserving it's originality while making it mechanically sound again. I am currently basket-case deep in a CL200 scrambler right now, so this 175 will have to wait until late winter/early spring. I'll attach some photos!
