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!

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?
