Nice one rob

My mate just sold his custom built TDR and bought a tzr 125 like the one he had when he was 17 and a reverse cyl 250. Too young to appreciate the original LC. He will add them to the RD500lC and sp2 already in the garage.

So we will now be able to fully relive being teenagers when we go out on our 125 strokers.

what have you done to your "bike" today

Post by AMCQ46 »

KTM got an MOT on Friday, then I sorted the wheel alignment with my straight edges.

Firestorm got put on the workshop ramp and I started some suspension fettling.
1) reduced the airgap setting on the Aprillia front forks by adding a controlled measure of extra fork oil to give it more support under heavy braking
2) stripped out the Ohlins rear shock ready to make way for the super sexy Nitron race shock I got of StuartWags. just waiting for the new spring to arrive.Image

Great garage/workshop. I'm envious cos I have to make do with driveway and small rear yard.

Still hunting down a Cougar with spare bedroom and double heated garage! :cool2
