  1. Hi and to the forum, Youve got a great choice of bikes there and wow! what a place to ride them.
  2. Jack up kits, would be surprised if they improved handling because the will change the geometry, They will however make it further from the seat to the road so you need to be tall enough for this to be not a problem.

    Hi Sorry cant help but would love to see a pic of bike! can you pst a pic,
  4. You may be right Paul, me and Blackhat are old timers and so what we have said is true for the bikes were riding, I have just checked with my bike shop and been told that bikes after 1984 need to have them fitted for the MOT. Well spotted
  5. No but seriously, if you do take Viagra, make sure you swallow them properly or you will get a stiff neck! Ugh! sorry couldnt resist.
  6. Yes I felt one many moons ago, rode my DT to work in Manchester, around 13 miles in freezing cold winter, fell off turning off the road into work, much to the security guards amusement...Ouch
  7. See your problem, and there might not be any points to attach a cooler to the frame like on the newer bike. But the designers have deemed that this engine needs one and if it were me i'd try to fit one.
  8. Hi, I removed the indicators from my DT 25 years ago, never had a problem with MOT. I always thought that if theyre fitted they must work. By the way never touched the switches, they're still there! Oops double posted!

  11. Got my DT175MX for exactly that same reason back in 1982, Still got it today, Over 37000 miles and still going strong
  12. Hi this is a classic symptom of a clutch adjustment or too thick oil / too much oil issue

    Blonde moment

    Went out today to take daughter no 2 to work, Daughter no 1 is out on my bike just pottering around as she's recently passed her test. Gets home to find my bike's on the drive. Daughter 1 says" Dad i've done something stupid, sorry i've put the disk lock on the wrong way" "Thats ok" I say, "just put the key in through the other side of the wheel", ...You know whats coming dont you....Yes there's lots of holes in the disk and only 3 spokes in the wheel, she chose a hole next to a spoke so you cant get the key in...Doh
  22. Looks fantastic, see you got your pics sorted
  23. I would just like to make it clear, that this is not from personal experience! A wee old man went into a chemist to buy Viagra. "Can I have 6 tablets, and can you cut them into quarters for me?" "I can cut them into quarters sir" says the chemist, "but a quarter won't give you a full erection" "I'm 96" says the old man, "I don't have any use for an erection. I just want it sticking out far enough so I don't p*ss on my slippers!!!"
