1987 Dyno D-Tour

Sad one here...

Everyone..., I *just* got one off...a... friend... Erf, actually, it's a true story stranger than fiction. Well, today I was sitting in my yard. Just got back from Area 51 with a new set of Redline pedals, when A friend of mine's Mom came pulling in. She didn't look as though She were in a good mood. Well, She told me that Bobby, Her Son died a lil while back. I didn't know. She said He was hit by a car on his 1987 DYNO D-Tour and killed. She asked if I wanted it. I of course was hesitant at first, but if I didn't, She was going to throw it away. Well, I got my buddy DJ and we went over to Her place to pick it up. It's bars, front GT mag, and brakes were trashed as you may have figured. It had to be cleaned, at least first. Long story short. I hosed it off and brought it home. I am gonna throw a few parts on it tonight. This is a special bike to me..., I just defaced my 1987 Mogoose Decade for it.

Thanks to: DJDane, it now has a front mag. "Thanks Dane!"

Caleb, nope, just the front mag. The rear was His, and it was on it when I got it from His Mom. The front one was broken and bent up. I *really* need a front mag like it or very close to it.

i have a matching front mag if you need it

dynosponsered · 2006-06-11 6:50am

mine is an exact match and i can sell it you if you want when you get my performer. needs better axel and barrens

dynosponsered · 2006-06-11 10:11am

or acutally i just realized... there on my dyno d tour which i just figured out was a d tour lol. but we can make a trade if your interested for both mags for another set if you have any green or black ones (not picky as long as there not acs stealth mags)

i have a set of brand new maxxis hookworm street tires that i will give to you free for this bike!email me at kyoshogt@yahoo.com.

RealFox · 2006-10-16 5:46pm

Got the front mag!! Thank You, DJDane!

RealFox · 2006-11-05 7:32pm

Had to change the seat post. It broke

Had to put on these Primo tires cause the old ones were a lil dry rotted, and the back one had a blow out. Anywho..., what ya'll think? I hope it makes Bobby happy, if he can see it.

skinnygmg · 2006-11-05 8:32pm

lookin good fox

RealFox · 2006-11-05 8:46pm

Thanks, Skinny

GoldCupper87 · 2006-11-15 5:27am

Looks good Fox! After reading the history of the bike, the sentimental value of it has to be off the charts!

RealFox · 2006-11-15 9:02am

I hated to change out the tires and seat post, but I just had to. I wanted it all original for Bobby's memory. You understand though...

gtbmx44 · 2006-11-15 12:43pm

Hi Fox, I'm glad to See that You finaly got the parts You needed to for this bike. I looked all over for one of those mags,but no one wanted to part with it.

RealFox · 2006-11-25 5:11pm

No problemo, Rich. You have hooked me up with so much in the past. Speakin' of hook-ups, I'll send you that M.O. when I get down to Florida for that neck (stem) and bars.
