Well here she is , my first bike in 8yrs ,  I hope I'm still man enough to tame this mighty beast .  My last 6 penalty points will vanish like a puff of smoke on Sept 5th .  Funny that , as I don't remember getting  6 points in one day !!   Anyway , the penalty point system here is a farce , i.e.  you only get points if you don't have a copper in the family /friends  circle .  F'n disgrace .

Roll on September .

 Got this for €620  ,  fitted a rear tyre , fork seals ,  tapered headrace bearings ,  C+S  and brake pads  @   €135 , not too bad I thought .

Back in the '80s  when I was a courier you couldn't get  clean small bikes for love , money  or dirty little deals done down back lanes involving knee-pads  and  chap stick !  But due to the death of the motorcycle courier industry in Dublin  there now seems to be plenty about .  It's an ill wind that blows no good I suppose .  Oh , and only  15,000 miles on the clock 

Figured out how to post the pics , lol

Welcome back to the real world Kev, nice tidy little bike you have there, just remember not to let all that power go to your head !!!

I know Slice , this kind of power must be used responsibly . Or God knows what could happen , could create a disturbance in the old Space/Time continuum  or something. Thanks for the advice , lol .

Hey , now that you mention it !  Where's my kickstart ??  Some thieving fecker must've nicked it !! 

Waheyy!!  I  got the tax and insurance sorted yesterday and went for my first ride out today !  Guess what .  It was even better than I thought it would be . It brought back all the memories and excitement of my first bike , a DT , nearly 30yrs ago . I even woke up early with excitement and got out on the road just like I did back then . It was magic ! A run out the south Wexford coast ,  on a perfect morning .   The bike was  lovely and ran without a single hiccup .  It actually feels like it's not fully run in yet , but that wont take long .. The new brake pads are starting to bed in nicely , no knocks from the new headrace bearings and with the new c+s  and rear tyre  she glided along .   I'm ecstatic , lol !!   Just want to say thanks to the site for giving me my biking fix while I was off the road .  Cheers people !   And here's to no more motorcycle emptiness . Nice one !

Lovely mate, no better feeling than two wheeling !!
