Posted September 30, 201014 yr Hey there. Im Derek, im 16, from Aberdeen (shire), and Ive just started using my 1984 DT50MX on the road Had a few teething problems with it so far, nothing a few nights alone in the garage couldnt sort. Someone had dumped a ghetto blaster in a quarry not far from me, so I took it, full of water, but it now works! Might strap it to my granny rack when I get some batterys for it lol
September 30, 201014 yr welcome to the madhouse oop's sorry derek ,hope you enjoy your stay,loving the last picci:lol:
September 30, 201014 yr wow. I strap a boombox on me xvs 125! And I'm 17! Are ya the scottish version of me? :S lol welcome bud, hope we can help ya wiht any of the teething probs.
September 30, 201014 yr Author haha The problems are sorted now. Main one was none of the electrics were working, apart from the headlight. This was because the red positive wire had corroded off underneath the ignition barrel, a bastard of a job becuase the contact point wouldnt take solder, so had to melt the original 26 year old solder which took an age. And a slipping clutch that went down to the cable.....a leaking carb due to a fooked bowl gasket, and an exhaust gasket. Anyway, its all good now

September 30, 201014 yr Author Aye, cant stand new 50cc bikes. Far too expensive, mostly twist and go, and look crap My dt just suits me to the ground ken
October 1, 201014 yr Aye, cant stand new 50cc bikes. Far too expensive, mostly twist and go, and look crap My dt just suits me to the ground ken insult to my baby TZR I understand your point I have a rather stereotypical view on twist and go's and the DT looks good and welcome
October 1, 201014 yr 'kin 'ell, where do you young'uns keep getting these DTs from?, i want mine back so badly
October 1, 201014 yr Author Well I had been looking for one for about 3 months before this one came up, even then it was 100 miles Had stupid thoughts about getting something pish for this one year, then a nice 125 when im 17, but I just couldnt put up with a ned ped for a year. Your only 16 once
October 1, 201014 yr nout wrong with those bikes, i had one at 16 and it was bulletproof (just dont fuck with it!)
October 1, 201014 yr Author Could you tell who ever had a play with the electrics that? Dont know what happened there, just aslong as its goinh
