Hi from Germany
« on: August 11, 2017, 12:42:57 PM »
My Name is Ralf and I am 45 now. my father bought a 250r in 1983 in Saudi Arabia. When we left the Country to go back to Germany we sold the Atc to a friend in 1988.
it came back last week!!! 8) the friend had it for 29 years. he wants it to be alive again but has no time for it. so he gave it back to the original owner... me!  ;)
the Atc is in very bad condition and almost everthing ist broken or rusty. i want to make it better than new. but it seems to be the only 1983 250r in europe... no parts in germany :'(

My Dad spent 2 years in Germany before coming to the United States.  I'll have to ask him again where he was at.

My Dad was in Butzbach and Ginsheim-Gustavsburg from 1968-1970.  he worked for a company called MAN.  He left late in 1970 and came to the United States
