This morning in torrential rain and after an overnight rear caliper split and rebuild my insect passed mot with no advisories, despite me only being able to get first and second gearβ¦ Sorted back at home, behind a cover linkages were a bit discombobulated. π There's something very satisfying about a fresh, no advisories MOT! Good result

Quip spin out on a beautiful evening, god this sounds amazing when you shut the throttle. Rode half the way home one handed, the other shading my eyes from the low sun, despite my black drop down visor.

I had a strange occurrence with the TDM on Monday, could not get the gears, struggled and fought, these are known for gearbox issues, I assumed mine was going. Put it on my paddock stand on Wednesday evening to see what I could find, as I was wearing slippers I grabbed a knackered old boot from the shed, Monday I was wearing my brand new boots. Interesting, gears work perfectly, really gave it some on the stand, gears working perfectly. I had a thought, put the new boot on, not getting gears. New boot being thicker at the toe is jamming the gear leverβ¦ suppose it saved me getting a new engine π

Oh I do like those, so cheap as well. Alas, as I an old fart that need 2 new hips, a new knee, have 3 damaged discs and nerve damage in my right arm, just looking at them and the riding positionβ¦ Hurts π’

very Torquey! pulls me back easily! i need a restraint! had it up to 140, plenty more to go! but i need to raise the bars and drop the footrests a bit, lot of money just to ride for 2hours before feeling uncomfortable, but puts a smile on my face!

Any better with the screen? Experimenting with angles and height, it is still better though. π
