DirtyDT

Linky I would contact them first to see if they are back order but, apart from a couple of very rare parts, they have always delivered.

Safety over style. You can get drop bars that fit onto yolk clamps LINKY.Not sure about setting up the cables etc. I know there is a big cafe racer scene on your side of the Atlantic so they should be available there too.

Very easy. You can get them off the shelf or made up. Search for venhill, goodridge or hel once you have measured the length and the size of the banjo's. Lots of broken SR's around. you should be able to pick up a good clutch perch secondhand.

Did someone call me?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Self praise..........................................................................

I think, apart for one other guy, we were the only people camping on Friday night last year. My limited directions would be, from the entrance go straight into the main car park and then into the adjoining car park up the hill on the right. In front of you you will see a couple of detached building (one is the toilet block). Keep to the left of the buildings and we should be at the very bottom of that field. Unless someone gets there first. If in doubt look for a bloke with a pink rinse drinking a Cinzano. That will be Big Kev. Really; look for a DT or three, a TDR and hopefully a TS. Food

It was very "Tango" Drewpy. A nice shade of Red now. Actually the bits I painted are Halfords toolbox red.

Fabulous .

Coming to an end now...................................................until the rebuild. Still waiting for some parts but all together. I have rushed some bits but these can be tidied up. Insured - Phoned Carole Nash this morning and the quote of £143 became £113. On a classic policy, fully comp. MOT - Booked for Tuesday morning. Hopefully it will pass. It hasn't had one since 1996. Tax - waiting for the MOT but I will do this online assuming it passes the MOT Some before and after photos.

Hi and welcome to the forum Boon.

Nah, its all in Latin.

Not sure of the crusing speed at the moment. I can't get get much speed up in the garden. I think it should be throwing out around 23hp. It's first planned road run is Tuesday morning. First shakedown and MOT in one go. How stupid brave am I?

Tis the left hand bearing. lubed by the pump and the bearing has an oil slinger on it which throws the 2 stroke oil along a hole in the crankshaft onto the big end bearing. Apparently there is a mod to change this if required. Not an issue on the DT but I would still go the pump route.

I have dreams about that kind of place.

Ouch!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the support mate

Get yourself to Squires next weekend Sniper and meet some of the guys.

I did. It said in really big letters "Light Grey"

Why would Halfords sell light grey paint rattlecans with a matt black strip around the cap? Twonks! I will have to change it tomorrow for a matt black one. Are they twonks or should I learn to read?

You shouldn't use anything that will not evaporate. WD40 is oil based and you will have trouble cleaning it off.

That first bike "off" is not pleasant Kev.

"MR"? How formal I hope the cheque turns up soon.

I am going Friday.
