Y.O.C. 2018 meet,
Eh up lads, I've just woken up cracking weekend, great craic and a shame the TDM had a dicky fuel pump and missed the ride out. Airhead and myself still slummed in the pub drinking dark cider and watching the classic bikes go past (there was a local bike meet on but didn't sdvertise it) we even managed to get a Park run in at Bakewell strange event? - a cadilac with sirens on and a union flag blaring "who ya gonna call..." yes a ghostbusters vehicle then we had a silver van blat passed with a high reving engine in, lots of debate over what engine was in the van. Jason showing off his "lorry driver" accutriments ie a stove, dissed my little stove and then didn't have matches to light his (mine had a piezzo ignition) ? thanks to Finnerz for the great location to and for taking us to CMC at Claycross for the jap classic bike meet, some very tasty bikes there. thought i'd share some photos.............. 1st night in Pub, 2 singers, one sung the other just interjected with some awful catawalling, yea babeeee this is what you get if you ignore our requests, no place in the photo facebook watching the world (and bikes go past) PAul telling me to fork off, at Hassop station cafe after the parkrun camp site Claycross CMC - Tommy was looking for a new helmet XSS400 rat took Tommy to Hassop after Claycross, Austin 7 ride out https://imgur.com/crfkTKH thats all folks back to bed now

picking up a TDM850 Mk2 saturday
bit of an update; fitted the refurbed wheels with a larger tyre and also a new rear disk. Also fitted the refurbed front disk using original hub. I think I mentioned the saga of the fuel dump into the engine, well I've rebuilt the carbs (even having to helicoil one top carb thread). new inlet manifolds as the old ones were cracking, new throttle cable as I have to cut the old one off. The new throttle cable was a bugger to fit at the carb end as there are so many tubes attached to the carb. reset the TPS as it was out I balanced the carbs after replacing the oil filter and new oil. the bike runs a dream now, even better than before, the clutch cable was very slack but after tightening up seemed no issues and in fact changed a lot better than before. the enfoced fuel in the oil must have flushed the crud out of the engine. no knocking noises and jobs a good 'un
