    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
  2. 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.
  3. 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!

  6. Got my DT175MX for exactly that same reason back in 1982, Still got it today, Over 37000 miles and still going strong

    Hi this is a classic symptom of a clutch adjustment or too thick oil / too much oil issue

    this is difficult cause i'm at work but basically if you have no compression you will feel it through, tell you what i will Pm you
  11. Airhead replied to nickcheshire111's post in a topic in The Bar
    Hi Nick, Have you still got compression? Is there fuel in the tank, not run onto reserve? Can you take plug out and check for a spark, do you know how to do this?

    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

    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!!!"

    y'know what it sounds like to me? Check for water or debris in the fuel filter, it may be integral to your petrol tap.

    [quote I, too, would like to get another R6 purely for track use and complement the TDM with an R1 circa 2005 for Sunday blasts. Then there are a few classics I'd like - a Norton Commando (750) like the one dad used to have, a Suzi Kettle just for that noise, a Gold Star and a TZR250 or KH500. I'm not sure that I would be able to live with the frames and brakes on the KH or Kettle, mind. I'd best start buying those lottery tickets..... Your'e a mind reader, I would like all these too, Oh and a V Max.

    Youre in good company!, Happy days, long hot summers, proper snow in winter. Yep different era! Just remembered another exotic offering, remember the Malagutti? Trail bike if memory serves, quite a looker.

    Looks good enough for a story in MCN classics section I reckon.
