60 Nuggets? Jesus.

Hah they hate it when you roll up ordering 20 here, never mind 60. Taste horrible and burnt or undercooked here as well. Dry as a nun's clit.

Damn you i thought it was going to be an offroad one!!

Your bars look a little funky in terms of alignment with your dash and fender

I do struggle to watch that. It's so tough watching it when you're not doing even the most basic shoulder checks...:( Makes me cringe..

Fair enough, I'm properly over cautious when I ride. Whenever I move out I shoulder check. Shoulder check when I'm taking a right junction, over to the right of the road, then a quick shoulder check just before I make that turning.

Also both shoulders as you pull away after a stop. The amount of times I've seen a cyclist at the last minute after pulling away is ridiculous. Properly shat me up lmao!

Fair enough though Liam, I shouldn't say anything really, no point. Does look like you were having fun, but I'm not sure how long the motor will last riding around like that.

Nice vid although headcam always seem's to be too high or low >.<

Good advice Calum never can get too much safety advice.

I rode my last 2 DT's like I stole them whenever I could/can without breaking the speed limit.

I do 30 mile round trip at least twice a week, which most is spent hooning down country lanes/a roads never leaving the powerband(i'm on 14-57 this seems to be best for acceleration/wheelie's:P)

I did 30 miles to Thetford forest hooned for 4-5 hours and then 30 miles home clocked up nearly 100 miles that day with little rest.

Based on this the engines can take it all day long and should be good for 20k with just oil changes and maybe some piston ring's/clutch plates if your fussy.

I like to think of DT's as the Honda cub 90 of it's time, just keeps going due to the simple great build quality.

p.s Not sure about bike's left out to weather though... I keep mine cosey in my garage.

Yeah I know I was the same ride any 2 stroke like I stole it!

Yeah always the wrong angle! Haha I use to ride on grass and start ripping it up when I got bored! Not sure what you're on about leaving a bike to weather mine lived in the hallway like all my bikes apart from the crf which was behind the couch haha
