Nipped into J&S this morning and couldn't resist these. Ideal for barmy days and nights in Scotland Not tried them yet, but can't wait to do a full report when I do

dry as a bone as per photos. bit cold so had to turn up heated grips to 75%

applecross Bealach na ba closure in April maybe postpned to June http://www.scotlandsroute66.co.uk/bealach-na-ba-road-road-closure-update/

mate in Manchester did it on C90's

Went to the Rivvy Easter egg run today. Had a great time, i got there really early but I needn't have worried as I met loads of peeps who were friendly and god for a chat. Went for a brew at the bottom Barn first and there was the Prototype CCM Scrambler built around the Spitfire chassis. Talked to a couple of lads nearby and it turns out he is the designer and gave me the full tour of the bike. had to take a picky of mine too seeing as its the first time with the new 17" wheel and Michelin P5 tracks lovely now as more weight is on the front. I even met another TDM owner who invited me to his pub in Farnworth

just finished the routes, things of interest and fuel stops https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/folder/959527?mode=share welcome to nick it if your thinking of doing it. checked Petrol stations are open and fuel stops around 100 to 130 miles apart

yep, sounds ok to me

Just thought I'd start a new topic on the trip that Tommy and a few other are goin on in July 7th to 14th https://www.myrouteapp.com/route/open/826361 https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/828361?mode=share https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/828468?mode=share https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/828555?mode=share https://www.myrouteapp.com/en/social/route/828574?mode=share hopefully these links work. If you have any insights as to what to see on the way or Caff's, let us know

we will, its where harry potter was filmed over the vaiduct too

this is what I did for now. might buy a bar of Alloy and shape a fork breace

got some nice bikes there

AL, great little bike, enjoy the resto

well I've finally got the 17" wheel fitted to the TDM. I had to have another spacer made as the original one was 2mm too small and would have put a side load on the bearing. I also had to purchase a C3 bearing as that was the only size there was that would fit the 17mm axle and the wheel. Last thing I had to do was put a small washer twixt speedo mech and bearing as the disk alignment was out (talking 1 mm here, and made a big diference) Got the R5 fitted and took the girl out for a ride, wow much better with handling and feels so different to the 18". had to lower the front guard too so use 45mm x m6 stainless screws and about 25mm tubing to lower. Now there's room for a fork brace

Armadale to Mailiag

great news, was it the float bowls? compression is better warm btw, but you may find you have gummed rings which will free when you use the bike more. bike should get better as you use it

is that the same number on the headstock?

please post one question in the proper section. intros only here

I know, Americans eh. I was first in Queue

will post a hello in the new members section mate, tell us where your from (update your profile too) 3k to 4k is when the pilot goes onto mains and is the transition, also where exup is too. does exup motor turn the valve and its the right way round? Mikunis are buggers for blocking too, may need to be surgically cleaned inside the drillings

maybe worth checking as it a simple procdure. you can check either worn rings (squirting oil in bores and noting the difference) or valves not sealing. I usually let some choke off if it gets too high revs, 2k seems a reasonable self imposed limit on a cold engine. BTW mine started lovely after winter hibernation I drained out the carbs first though

easy, kick it out of gear and turn off the kill switch, Sorted
