    @SpookDog Yeah I guess it does look longer.

    Happy days bud!

    Yeah your browser probably cached the DNS which needed time to change. It's a faff, hasn't changed for years. So it's not too much downtime.

      If anyone has time and a tape measure, can you please measure the wheel base on a Dtr? From spindle to spindle. I don’t have my bike with me ATM and there’s nothing in the manual. Cheers peeps!...

                  @SpookDog I'm assuming you live in England? Just a thought, do you have a friend or relative in Wales you can use their address and do your CBT in Wales? Also that's a lovely looking bike you have and my favourite colour.

                    Cheers guys, I’m not near enough to Wales though. I only just picked up my glasses for the first time today, so I couldn’t of done my CBT any sooner. Life does seem to throw these things in my way though. Never mind, I’ve got the rest done and dusted 😜 ...

                      @ The World in general

                      Man! I so want to go for a ride, rain or not. 25 years is a long time to be off the road 😐 . I am so fucking close to legal that it hurts. I just know that if I do and get pulled, I’ll be shafted 😕 ...

                      Lights (& Looser plates) are on, but not allowed to roam...

                          Eye exam in the afternoon so I can read a number plate @21 metres. CBT in a week with luck...

                          Am insured, so only tax needed as well...

                          It’s been 25 years since I was last legal on a bike, so I’m pretty excited...

                            I’m a fan! If I where you I’d almost be tempted to keep the current DT you have relatively stock and just enjoy it as it is as it’s a clean bike and then build the other frame up.

                            Although I know how things go and realistically that just never happens 😉

                            I see now as well we do actually have near enough the same front ends! I think yours are off a WR or slighter later year though?

                            Is that a 91’ swingarm too?. Very similar to the 200WR’s just cleaner (no tabs for chain guard etc) + the welds are also much better.
                            I’m not mistake but I’m pretty sure you can run most swingarms 88/89-91 relatively easily

                            Lovely bike though and looking forward to seeing more of what’s happening, must say I’m jealous of you having such luxuries as a spare frame and all that room to work 😂

                            On the contrary I do however get to ride less then legal places borderline legally which is why i was going to say as it’s still essentially an off-road bike go and take it off road if ya can.

                            I admit to having more then a couple rides around my neighbourhood before my bike was legal but most of the time I just quietly popped off Into the fields, a lot of the time if you mind your own business being just an older guy with an old bike people will know you’re harmless.
                            Odds on you’ll even find someone who’s interested in the bike too!

                                          Eye exam in the afternoon so I can read a number plate @21 metres. CBT in a week with luck...

                                          Am insured, so only tax needed as well...

                                          It’s been 25 years since I was last legal on a bike, so I’m pretty excited...
