Brian yes 11 years old and still a virgin it's criminal the previous owner only did about 100 miles a year in the past 5 years he must have been a long way from his nearest MOT station☺.
looks really good! Do you have the measurements of the bash plate you made as I was gonna look at getting one made rather than pay out the £80 + that they cost!
Nice TTR. Like the home made wood bike stand and sump guard!
You might find mounting your bike harder work with that bag on there, and you might find you end up breaking your mirrors too, might be ok if you only do light trails.
Dan I pretty much made it by eye I made up a light gauge steel pattern then copied that in 3mm aluminium which cost £10. on e-bay it's really not that hard if you can use a ruler and hammer☺.

Had a great day out Saturday on the penines including a very snowy Cold Berry End (England's highest byway) and a very stuck 650 Dakar after it threw it's chain.
Looks like a cracking first run out an a cold one as to Stuck Dakar I know that feeling nice bikes clocked up 00000s of miles on them an the standard f's but put them in soft mud or sand an it can dig a hole that will take an army to pull it out of. hope you gave that clean TTr a good wash off after
It took 4 of us to haul the Dakar out and it took a bit of hauling and mauling to get it through the deepest snow. The TTR performed faultlessly all day which is more down to its abilities than mine😁 .looking forward to our next foray now.
