DT125R ARCHIVE

Cheers Scrim, Aye looks like the pair of us have been through the wars recently, glad your bypass has gone ok, mate of mine recently had a bypass, cracking scar he's got on his forearm from his, presuming you have the same? my main problems have been diabetes which has brought on some nasty leg ulcers, plus a long standing heart problem, as I've had 3 heart attacks to date, last one needing a stent op, plus an ongoing problem with my white blood cells that's called ITP, which knocks your immune system for six, have had to have chemotherapy for it a while back when the white blood count went dangerously low, but generally just makes you feeling tired and pretty ****e, most of the time, so the bikes pretty much taken a back seat until recently, though I've managed to get the Hybrid started up, as you've seen in the vid, that'll probably be that for the bikes at the min, as I'm sorting out getting the new motor this week, so I'll be playing with that for a bit, plus the ****ty weather here in so called sunny Devon is putting a kybosh on being able to get any work done on the bikes. By the way, haven't sorted the neutral light as yet, just banged some DT clocks on it so as to get the rev counter working, so I can get the carb fine tuned, need to wire in the starter motor into the loom too, then its on with getting the brakes sorted on it, I need to nip over to HEL and get the custom brake lines made up for it.
Glad you're back on the forum though mate, your input is pretty much valued in here, just take it easy for a bit eh, no doubt you've got your eye on your next project.

They got you on the great big fook off different colour rubber bands they use for physiotherapy? lol I managed about 4 weeks till I decided a bungy cord would do the same trick sat at home. know what ya mean about getting cheesed off at inactivity, my lad now and again gives me a good kick up the arse to get in workshop, good idea with setting up a small unit and restoring bikes, there's yer pension in a few years mate.

Nev what are you using for the boost bottle?

I've just acquired one from overseas that is meant for the TZR. Was wondering what you're using.

Yeah I had to hunt high an low for one. but they're completely different shape. Closer to that YEIS one I have.

Good idea. I've got that YEIS one. If they all measure the same then I'm
Going to use the YEIS one cause it looks balla!

Been hectic recently Trip, wheel rebuild on the hybrid at present, have sorted out the petrol tap problem I had, at the minute the house is being knocked about, so I've got project managers head on and not bike builders, and will have for the next few weeks, oh aye bought a new toy, that got delivered yesterday, so am hoping to get around to playing with that soon too.
