When I see someone with the same colour and model DTR as me...
http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w402/Burridge1/Mobile Uploads/image_zpsk5h4j6as.jpegWelcome to the forum mate, I've only had my DT a few months but been on here since before I bought it, a great bunch of people on here and you'll find that no topic ever goes unanswered, which I've found is quite rare on other forums 😛
And speaking of having bikes in the house.. When I got my first ped at 16 I insisted it sat in my bedroom until I did my cbt, and sat in my bedroom it did.
And the ped I got when I was 12 did also. What tolerant parents I have 😂
Haha my parents didn't mind me having my bike in the house, first night I got the DT it was in the kitchen and that's where I kept it til the insurance kicked in.
Once the frame is powder coated and I've got the engine cleaned up, new clutch kit fitted and got the monkey-metal Yamaha screws changed for stainless capheads I'll be building it up in the bedroom at my folks house. Ideal as plenty room to work on it. List of things I know off the top of my head I need to buy yet are a new inlet manifold, new reeds and some hoses, stainless fasteners, bearings and stuff so I'll use time between doing stuff to buy stuff.
I do remember though the things that annoyed me were the headlamp is pants. Will change that for a 35w hid as they are available now for them. Will change the clocks illumination to led as well as the indicators and the tail lamp. Draw less power so shouldn't get the dull lights on idle like they usually do.
