Spot on it was a four speed mx converted with dry charge battery to run lights and entered in TBEC enduro, and road registered and trail ridden, hence tax disc, much to the amusement of the scruteneer :lol:

Asgard already had it, it's a Puch but there was a Portal on the event.

Blimey that must have been when there were more trail than enduro bikes, the MX must have appeared to be a rocket ship. My better half Liz did some of her first enduros with TBEC back in the day.

If it didn't have Yamaha on the seat, I'd have said it was a Husky. From an era when I had little to do with bikes due to business and mortgages which probably explains why I'm still in to the older bikes.

DT200? I recall hiring them in the Caribbean when we worked there (to pay my mortgage). Engine looks the same as Google pics but no USD forks.
