 Just saying hello, I used to have a Bonnie and I was a tiler..hence the name..I thought it was clever...ah well...
 Just bought the TDR (6 months ago) and although I'm 100 years old...I'm loving it, I'm certain that I may need help here and there..but just fitted some Arrow amplifiers...very nice..

				| Welcome to the forum bonnietiler and that's a great name there.. Liking the TDR too, plenty of TDR fans on here (including someone with a gag version in your colours!) 
 Hey, while we are talking names.. My favourite TV shows were Top Cat and Scooby Doo... Erm um sorry that's not really why I also have a suspect name
  ha ha 
 What I really want to know though..
 How come your incinerator has rusted but your lid is okay? My lid died way before the walls caved in..
   
 Great to have you fella

				| Thanks for the welcome, the swinging arm is a std one with a pair of adjusters welded to the ends, it's actually just the same length as a std. The Dustbin is a B+Q 500 the matching lid has been polished and ported to improve performance!

 Brilliant, your going to get on here just fine !
     PS clearly mine was a finely tuned dustbin lid too, but I didn't maintain it properly...

				| Welcome bonnietiler, 
 Love that TDR
   
 Are you going to get the dustbins bottom end sorted? Can anyone think of the best place to send it?

 A little bit of Autosol and a buff and she'll be fine. Probably leaks less than an old British bike even at the moment

				| The TZR wheels on my TDR are painted silver also and i must admit i'm not a fan   Maybe paint the wheels on your bike yellow? I think black would be too much
 I hope to eventually change the wheels on my TDR to fat supermoto rims
   Here's a pic of my TDR
 
   Has got carbon VJ21 front muddy and carbon heatsheilds fitted now though

				| Welcome, I had one of these when they first came out in '87' E993ERB. mental wheelie machines and great fun to ride. As for your wheels I would paint the back one black (doesn't show up the chain lube so much) and the front yellow. It brings back good memories
