@calum Surely you'll have to get the old DT out for this summer
Last year I did not get out much at all, delays getting wheels respoked just went on and on, this year is going to be different and intend to enjoy my bikes a lot more. Hope Calum does the same and enjoys the fruits of his labour!
@oldman You have some lovely builds mate, I really like this AC aswell, my mates currently building up his 78' DT 125 MX, hoping to get it on the road in the next couple months to get abit of summer, its in bits getting forks rebuilt right now, still on the french title as its an import aswell, we just finished rebuilding the top end and crank seals.

@glynn123 won't be the DT this year. That's been off the road for over 3 years now. RS hopefully should see the tarmac

@glynn123 Still waiting for tank to come back from respray for my 125mx, that's a French one I bought from Scrim, it's an 80 or 81 I think. Should be this week or next if I am lucky, not going to do anything else to it unless I have to, In surprisingly good condition for the year so will be riding that as well! Soon have one for every day of the week at this rate

@oldman sounds like the dream mate haha, you'll have to show us all some pictures of the 125 MX when it's back together, my mates is brilliant fun, great little lightweight machine.
Vibratey little engine but good torque and reasonably fast for what it is, wonder what the cruising speed on them in 5th is mind, my mates doesn't have a speedo and seems low geared

All good things to come to those who wait...at least that's what I've been told.
I ought to really sort my car out to be fair lol, I'm the only one I know who doesn't drive lol. It's getting embarrassing now, having to get my mates to pick me up everywhere lol. TOORAGIC!
Roll on the winter projects
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

Passed mot today but runs rough at low revs and noisy with slipping clutch, another job on the list. On a plus note 12 v conversion excellent, as is the electronic ignition (remember points!)

It wa the only thing bugging me as the decals were age cracked and paint worn off by seat rubbing on front, took ages to get correct shade but got there in the end, will have a look for a pic and post if so find it.Going to get fresh foam in the seat as well , too soft for my butt!
