meatloaf Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hey good to hear that you're finally getting a replacement for the beast, I take it that you are all patched up and ready to roll. Although its still cold out there luckily here in the deep south we don't get much snow and most weeks have had some sunny days that have been perfect for a winter's day ride.

obriens65 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Update: Seller wants the bike gone sooner than next weekend so picking it up as soon as I can get the tax and insurance sorted. Meatloaf: I was given the OK by the Doc and signed off by the Physical Terrorist three weeks ago so yes, all ready to ride and itching to get back on.

Noise Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 That is a lovely example of a divvy mate, well done. That exhaust is brilliant, i fitted one to my mates 1984 900 and sounds really nice, not loud but it gives you a sound that feels like you can be heard.

nayruf Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi I wished I still had my old Divi, same colour as yours but one year or so older, have noticed that mine had some plastic swing arm covers covering the swing arm pivot bolt, I fitted braided brake hoses on mine made the brakes feel more solid.

Tommy xs Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 different from the TR1 but looks in good nick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obriens65 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 So, I've had the bike for two days. Still getting used to it (as Tommy says she's very different to the TR1). And I haven't been on a bike since October. And I thought it would be jolly fun to go to Loomies Cafe down the A339 in the dark. For those who don't know it, the 339 is pretty much all corners. I must be mad. My arse was twitching like a rabbit's nose all the way there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
