there was time back in the mid 80's when at least here in MI, nearly every older am gate had at least one of darrells rides up there..if the last one on eaby postin a absurb amount. how about bringin yours outta hiding, heres mine in its nearly original race trim I cant believe this one survived 2 years on the WOS circiut and MANY MANY state races... back when staging and factory guys cuttin the ropes ate the paint off everything in its sight. lets see em

You are right, DY's are getting not only hard to find but VERY expensive, I've watched a couple frame sets alone go for as much as $ 3,000.00 in the past few months; Crazy uh???

scary thing was at one time i was sittin on 6 of em, i kept pickin em up for 100 bucks apop. loved those bikes i just stocked piled em , too bad most em broke.

Got 11 so far, although I have had about 4 repaired, which is worthwile, I reckon, especially considering the fact that Tim's (seracingman) work is superb. My pride and joy is my green DY though. Although it isnt an original colour, it should have been - its really beautiful.

Subwax, you have 11 Darrell Youngs?

and an AP and a Black Shadow.

Remember that 5 of my DY's are repaired. Dont get me wrong, the repair jobs are fantastic - you'd never know unless I told you, but even so.

Why have 11 Darrell Youngs? Dont get me wrong, each to their own, but wow, 11 DY's is kind of obsessive... LOL

I'm a collector - its what I do.

LOL... good on ya subby!!
Ive got 1 DY, 50 various other brands, 9 redlines and 72 geese......

"im a collector - its what I do." .................BEAUTIFUL

I'm just happy with having at least 1 of each size. Heres my Dy w/ Kelly's Mini.

Now this is a cool thread!

It is amazing how the prices of these bikes have gone up over the years. I've come close to selling mine twice, yet never have. I have had many people offer to buy it over the years...sometimes I wonder what someone is willing to pay for it. I guess I can get a rough idea based off EBAY prices, but only for the novelty of knowing. I really do not think I could part with it; I have had mine for so long. I still enjoy riding it around the neighborhood every now and then...

AMEN!

VERY COOL!

Excuse me Neil, but was that aimed at me? It was an honest question.

Not at all - aimed at me, actually.

Your paranoid today, mate - whats up?

Anyways - you cant laugh at people like us - me, Waza, Jaun - we are all ill, and in need of desperate help. How can you laugh and scorn at the afflicated like that? Shame on you!

If you think the DY's are bad, dont ask about the Redlines, although I cant even dream of competing with Waza's Mongeese, or Juan's everything.

anyone have an original blue DY?

some day I will get a DY , I can't wait till then
Cool Thread

I consulted with some of the finest psychological minds ever known.




Here is what they came up with...

11 DY's = Sick
72 geese = Stupid Sick


Personally I think you guys rock! But then again you may want to seek professional help just to be on the safe side. These guys look like they know what they are talking about.

As a professional, my opinion is that there is an addiction here which is less harmful than drugs. At least you get to see where the $ went. And as far as I know, there is no "rehab" facility for this problem. So it should only get worse and spread. Be careful who you associate with, you may infect others without trying. Don't forget to get out and ride these bikes. Tommy

Here's how my DY looks this morning. I just got done riding it around our new subdivision. IMO, it is good for the bearings to ride them once in a while:







I just gave my Schnauzer a haircut. I bet he feels better. It's been pretty hot:

cornfed, I think i raced against this bike BITD..are you or was it owned by funways john norenberger,??is that the right spelling?...i recall racing another funway guy alot Stacy Scott, around 84-85-86,

Yeah, that's me. Same bike, lol.

I've did a little searching for Stacy but nothing turned up. I don't know his where-abouts.

Any man with a beard and a suit must be able to provide the right diagnosis.
