I have noticed in some of the thread that there is an active member of the forum from Oklahoma, specifically one John Milner. I would be very interested in contacting John, as my new 1968 Firebird 350 HO (red, red, white HO stripes, 4sp manual Hirst) came from the Milner Performance Pontiac dealership in Tulsa, delivered from there to Norton Stuart Pontiac in Enid, OK. It was my high school graduation present from my dad and granddad. That may seem like an extravagent graduation gift, but there was no guarantee I would make it that far. But, back to the car, it was COOL. I have searched the world for one set up like that, and I am convinced it was one of one. No other like it. My grandad and the local dealer (Stuart) were buddies, and they conspired to find that for me. Stuart used his dealer status to get Milner to send him the car for my grandad, all unbeknownst to me. I was thrilled at the time, but I didn't know what I had (like many of us young guys back in the day). i have seen some postings here from John, and I am sure he must be connected to that dealership. He is probably younger than me, and wasn't with the dealership at the time, but I would still like to hear some history from him (if I am right about that).

Gary, read the question for Scott earlier, glad to read your answer.

Any idea of any Pontiac drag racers that worked @ Milner/Premier being supported by the dealership? Recognized Milner Pontiac as being a really high volume seller, holding top sales in Zone 20 for quite a few years. Wouldn't consider it a Performance Dealershio per se. With the volume Milner Pontiac was doing, not surprised to see them doing a dealer trade.

John, sorry but I am not related to the Milner dealership family from Tulsa.

How much for that 72 Yamaha ?

[muscle_collector]

good eye on spotting it as a 72 yamaha. its a 125 totally original and runs great. sorry not for sale, i collect enduro, motocross and mini bikes 125 cc and smaller.

Have to admit , I thought it was a candy tangerine 250 .oops
Dang I need to come to Okl. some time , I love 72 & 73 Yamaha Enduros.

Do you have a Purple Enduro ?
Grey 80cc Enduro/MX
White and Yellow TY trials bikes

73 Honda XR75 Grey with Red lettering ?

I bought a 2022 KTM 112cc Works Conversion MX bike this spring to ride.
Can touch the ground with both feet and it hauls azz lke crazy.

im supposed to be getting a ty80 white / yellow this weekend. (hopefully fingers crossed it goes thru)
dont have the 73 100 purple enduro. got my green 72 lt2 100 ive had since new. dont have the grey mx80 but have the white one .
ive got probably 30 bikes. my wife hates them. never complains about any of my cars even when i had over 300 of them in my collection. but she hates the motorcycles for some reason.

Super cool on the TY 80 deal. Very sharp looking bikes.
And so tiny.

In 4th grade one of my friends was so short (almost a qualified midget).
A Honda MR50 (mini Elsinore) was the only "good bike" that he could have ridden.
Yamaha came out with the tiny TY 80 trials bike and his folks got him one for Christmas.
Fit him like a glove and he was in heaven with it.
And he could stay with us on our 70-75-80-100 bikes.

The mint green 72 100s looked damn good.
Congrats

I almost bought a good quality unrestored Blue 73 125 instead of the KTM , in February.
But I still ride too aggressive and it wouldn't have been the right bike for that.
Wasn't easy passing on it. Such a beautiful bike.
