    Announcing the arrival of "Ol' Yella"

    Sorry for the dalay , but may I formally introduce you to "Ol Yella" , stablemate of "The Beast"

    A 2000 "W" Suzuki DRZ400 S , now stripped to "Enduro" spec so I don't break any bits off. She was very tatty when she came to stay at the Wee Hoose but I have fitted some new Acerbis plastics, and will be fitting over the next couple of days - A R&G LED tail tidy , Manual Cam Chain Tensioner , nice new grips, new fork gaiters and KTM handguards. She arrived with a Clarke 14 litre tank and ali sumpguard.

    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    You need to go through a couple of muddy puddles to take the glare off.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    And this morning at 08:30 the aforementioned Ol' Yella sailed through her MOT. Really chuffed. Now I can enjoy playing instead of preping her for the MOT.

    The tester only pointed out one thing - the rear reflector was not vertical to the ground !!!! FFS !! So a quick heat and bend of the plastic bracket with a Zippo and Bob's yer mother's wee brother.

    Must remember to add a Zippo to my toolkit !!!!
