That was the first MX bike I had seen, back when I was 12 years old in 1976 in rural Michigan. A neighbor of mine had one. I have been hooked on the sport ever since,---and even after engineering degrees and a lot of dead end jobs, I port little 2-stroke engines for a living today.

I started on the TM 75. Slow,,,,Poor handling, extremely sluggish,, But so cool... I loved it. The dumbest design flaw was the front finder. What front fender? Also the oil injection was useless. I just mixed the gas.to get the right mixture. I also got rid of the spark arrestor. That silly thing took and already slow bike and made it slower. But,,, AS far a fun,,, and youth,, I had more fun on a TM 75, than any of my 20 bikes since. I will never forget the smell of mixing the Castrol race oil in that slow little engine... Brings back great memories...

I was 14 in 1989. My mom liked to garage sale Alot. She called it 'Sailing'. One of those times I wasn't sweating in the back of a station wagon in the middle of the summer w/ her she brought this home. As the story goes some elderly woman had a small shed in the back of her property that butted up against a large creek. It rained alot the summer and flash flooding caused the shed and its contents to be dislodged and swept away. Her things were recovered and the original owner grown and gone she decided to put it in her garage sale. Im sure she was asking more but my mom was a shark. She got my surprise bike 1980 cr80r for $80 and brought it home. Now I know she was gambling on this cause $80 was alot of cheap garage sale nick-nacks for her but she knew I had a knack for fixing stuff. She brought it home and I filled it with gas and it fired right up but I shut it down right away as the river slammed it into rocks apparently and cracked open the side case. I was motivated at this point and thanked my mom with joy! Long story short I rebuilt the bike from the frame up with all new seals and parts and paint. Thanks Dad for the many visits to the Honda parts shop..after $550+ in parts he was asking me "son are we almost done yet"? ;) Took me a year but at 15 I was rippin' shit up on the trails and I was hooked. I'll never forget that bike so thanks for the restored memory in visuals and sound from my past. 1980 cr80r for $80. Thank-you. 48 and still twisting the throttle <3

Had one of these when I was 13 y/o. I remember the big 40mm carb, and how I had to "keep it on the pipe" if I wanted to climb a hill. Since I was in a residential area, I used existing and abandoned rail rights-of-way to get to different areas. I can recall riding in top gear on the stone track beds, doing maybe 45-50 mph, and having to watch for the occassional hills that would allow vehicles to cross the tracks. Hit one of those and you'd be jumping at that speed. It was bullet-proof engine. Just had to keep up on the maintenance - chains, sprockets, tires, etc.
