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 Rolling Eyes 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.. Wave

Great to have you fella Thumbs Up

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 ! Joker Clap
PS clearly mine was a finely tuned dustbin lid too, but I didn't maintain it properly...

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 Wink

The TZR wheels on my TDR are painted silver also and i must admit i'm not a fan Confused
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 Cool
Here's a pic of my TDR

Has got carbon VJ21 front muddy and carbon heatsheilds fitted now though Cool

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 Very Happy
