Catteeclan

Not as well built as the xt1200 either. I'm really enjoying it. A friend had the mt09 and said he's gonna lose his license so I thought these were maybe tuned down but once you click the sporty setting and give it some revs it's a bloody rocket ship. Far faster than I need to go. Lighter than the big XT which is why I traded but not quite as comfy, but only in the seat and more bent legs. TFT dash is good too. Once I get this front brake sorted I'll be a happy bunny again.

Build quality isn't a patch on my TDM and your Fazer but I do like it. Cracking engine.

Mine looks a bit wanting.

Cup hocks, you were lucky, we used nails which had prob been used before.

Fazer looks good in yellow

Bloody good stuff when made in Japan. Butt plugs?

Is that the stuff that "goes off" in the tyre and putsch wheel out of balance.

Yeap.

I keep one in the top box as a get you home, or one like it. Used a Holts one some years ago and it got Mandis gsr home.

Apart from the snapping off bolt. Don't expect that from something so new.

Look out, another carry on pun.

You crack on girl. Yes it's firing you a learning curve but you're learning from it. I really miss the off road stuff, body doesn't.

They call it character.

Whatever floats your boat Tym, I just don't see it other than having 2 wheels. Bet you would of had more fun on the klr.

You need an old DR you do.

Yes, some wanker went the wrong way up a slip road to a dual carriageway as Mike was coming down.

Lost a few on the TDM forum, one being Stormy.

Me, ain't been anywhere. Unless I can count my pushbike, been to work n back a couple of times. Thought I'd get out last weekend till the bloody gritters spewed their shit everywhere again. Got loads of rain in the forecast to wash it away closely followed by another cold spell.

Good pics Chris, look so much more clear than over here. That does look like a railway unless it's been filled in. Not a lot of room for a tow path either. Quite surprising how much tyre pressure is lost in colder weather.

WTF was that music all about.

Wankers. Glad you pulled them up on it. Power corrupts

Like Swagman said, snow, cold and bloody salt everywhere. Bikes are going nowhere. But Mandi's ordered a treadmill and it's being delivered today, wonder if I can get a minimoto on it on front of the tele..

Me and the misses went here a couple of years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre We cheated for Poland and took a plane.

Just had a quick look on google myself Yes it was the cats paw tyres on my XL. That had a 23 inch front wheel and at the time you couldn't get much else. Can't remember who made them as what you see now are copies.

Think I had them on the front of my xl250s.
