    Morning All

    Just bought a DT for my son. We're slowly going through it to make it as nice as we can. I have a long history with 2 strokes currently running an NS400 and an MTX80

          Thanks for the welcome gents. Thus is the bike. It is in pretty good shape, just sorting out the inevitable issues with a 17 year old bike.

                Yes, a French bike. Tried looking for a decent UK bike but there was nothing to be found. We're giving it a thorough check over then off for MOT and UK registration.

                My own bikes look more like this:

                      Those NSR 400's are so cool now.

                      Keep it real

                          Just taken it out for a test ride to make sure she is ready for MOT. Wish I was 17 again. Lovely fun bike.

                            Welcome, I wish my 03 was in that condition when I bought it. Was only 7 years old but looked 20.

                              Yeah that looks amazing!

                              I've seen a few DT's round my way and people enjoying being out on them 😄

                                Welcome! Fantastic looking bike, but I'm not surprised if it is a french import. Both my DTs also came from France, brought them up with me a year ago.

                                  @Alastair hello mate did you bring the dt over from France yourself? How easy was the whole process? I only ask as I have my eyes on another dt but it's in France they seem to be cleaner bikes over there

                                    @andrewj1680 Easiest thing to do. Only annoyance is the long wait for paperwork... No tax to pay as long as its second hand and done X number of miles, can't remember exactly how many... I brought my bikes up myself with a van. Had to drop stuff off in france anyway, so when I came back I stuck two DTs in the back and "voila".

                                        I bought it from a bloke that brings them in. As long as you have the Nova number, you get insurance on the frame no, get an MOT, fill out form V55/5 and you'll get your registration. Piece of cake.
