My last spin on my dt was a week ago. was about -10 degrees. though i was going to freeze my finger tips off.

No snow or ice on the roads that day though. so could give some throttle.

Stoped off at the service station to see if i could charge my tomtom or phone but they had nothing.. so looked in the mapbook lol.. and found my way home. Cant believe i didnt get pulled over on M6.

I got an iridium Hot glow plug in my bike so it bruns better and gets a good spark. but When im sittin at the lights my bike just dies on me as the idle is always at 1.5 to start with but after sitting waiting for the lights to change it drops down and then dies on me. I have no idea why though.
