Took the tdr 250 out for a blast around herts, brilliant  fun,  not sure about the brakes though, think I'm spoilt with the blue spots!

she said the gypsy was right, and she fell right dead

Sure I've seen TDR's with blue spot calipers - thought they were a straight fit - find a TDR forum and ask - problem solved :-)

Washed my baby bike; the Serow, took it for a short spin to dry it off and heat it up, drained the oil, cleaned both oil filters, filled it with a 1 litre of  10W 40 Semi and treated it against the salt laden roads.  :) Back to work tomorrow :(

Hey Red you're getting the hang of this photo malarkey..........just in time for cameras to become obsolete :lol


I bet you can programme a VCR using the scanner/tv times :b






Unfazed......starting up your bike to warm the oil before draining it, i understand that bit.....but what's your opinion on starting up the bike with the old oil still in it???......because my bike is sorn for the winter i always like to drain the oil that has been sitting in the engine for months and not start the engine until there's fresh oil back in it as i thought the old stuff would be full of water or condensation and generally a bit crap..........ok it's the same oil that was in it when last switched off.....but just with added water maybe and been through some frost or whatever.


Am i being overly cautious then?
