Shiny shiny tools............... drooool, can never have too many!

Decided to leave red as you dont see many about, still waiting for full history from DVLA. Just hope I can pick up some new bodywork some time

Its not a genuine dt unless its been stolen at one time or another, thief magnets

Still waiting for the wheels as you can see, exhaust almost finished, but did fit some graphics, comments welcome🤐

I was at a loose end waiting for my wheels, innocently browsing ebay, saw an 89 dt sold a week ago relisted due to time waster. Piqued my interest and a DEAL was struck in the old man household that one in, one out. Agreed to sell a 125 bike bought for my son that he no longer uses, a Lexmoto Venom. Watched the 89 and failed to sell, contacted seller and struck a deal, picked up yesterday so have my winter project lined up. Had a quick inspection and although powder coated previously a fair amount of rust coming through, swingarm sound though. Calipers look ok and all plastics present and undamaged bar the locating hook on the oil tank cover. No power valve actuator but will pick one up when I am ready.Brand new tyres, Michelin proenduro I think, not sure if they are road legal. Tank looks like it has been enamelled (do they do that?) And the design in photo is in the enamel. Cruddy inside but have a spare tank anyway that just needs spraying. Story is it stood for a long time before being restored(!) By the 2nd last owner, sorry if you are reading this but must try harder😉. That's it for this one until the first is finished completely, .
Maybe I should set up a self help group "Hello, I am oldman and I am a dtraholic!" But I did say I liked the white and red model!
Now I am off to be a house slave for a week or two

Here's one I prepared earlier !

Head refurb really straightforward, just get a decent gasket set, take your time and follow the manual. Did mine while I had the engine out, takes no time really. Nice bike, gotta save these old ones😁
