Better shout up and introduce myself having quietly gleaned a vast amount of hard earned knowledge from the posts of the wise.
Fair play - the forum been invaluable these last few weeks. Anyway I've had a 4TX since 1999 - bought with just 300 miles on the clock and now has a truly astonishing... 3300 miles on it.
Ooo the shame.
It's been laid up for 9 years festering in my garage. (It's a long story but I got rather distracted by another vehicular project, then family, work, etc).As I'm long overdue a midlife crisis I decided I should really be strutting leather trousers again and so needed an excuse. Being rather poorly she's had a mega fettle over last few weeks (I refer of course to the velocipede - not the missus) and is off for MoT & to play on a dyno on Tues. I'm in North Wales nr Wrexham ish. Brew & a bun usually available if you're passing and I'm in.
Intro over - will expand on the fettle & official verdict perhaps next week. But as of today IT LIVES !!

Thanks for the kind welcome folks - I didn't know about RTT when the offer was made. But do now. Ho hum. Well given notice to bake anythings possible...
Wouldn't have minded tagging along on RTT had I joined earlier. I used to do rally scene in a big way a good few years back. Particular favourites were Farmyard Party (Anyone remember / still do that?) , NABD & a quite a few of the smaller club do's.
Ponderosa - for sure tis as about as good a reason for a ride out as I need really

If this is the right place...
A quick hello to all Carpedians and compliments on what seems to be a very good forum! I've been fettling an old '91 for a few weeks and have picked up some useful info. Had the usual issues - loose front sprocket, valve shims needed doing, carbs full of gunk etc (no cracked frame though!) and was thoroughly entertained getting the exhaust off, but it's getting there now; looking forward to riding the beast and hope I like it as much as I think I will.
Still riding my trusty Thundercat (owned 7 years) at the mo but fancied something a bit different (and twins are cool) and have had an early TDM on the want list for a while. Now can I justify keeping both...?
Have a good summer.
Cheers, Ady
