<![CDATA[Dt250mx]]>Been busy lately actually riding amongst other things, collected my 250mx yesterday after electronic ignition and 12v conversion completed. Used my bike to develop the ignition kit which is why they have had it a while, will be riding at the end of the month when my insurance renewal is due (not giving them an admin fee for a few weeks waiting)0_1525533535644_20180504_181656-1024x576.jpg

@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

Nooooo ! how could you paint the tank on it, its such an original beautiful bike. its a 2X1 79 model

I don't think he's interested in changing it, but getting genuine head lamps for these are hard.

On a plus note 12 v conversion excellent, as is the electronic ignition (remember points!)

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 šŸ¤”

@calum Surely you'll have to get the old DT out for this summer šŸ˜‰

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!

Went out on my vstrom yesterday with the white dt owner and his son on a tenere, all down the lanes and countryside, fantastic day. 89 bike still running in but running perfectly.

Now I REALLY need to finish mine. Suns out today and I am not.
