Spring is in the air or so I thought

... Thermette ...

Can those be bought? Or is someone making them?

[AllanB]

Any fish in there?

I'd rather have your TL than many of the new bikes on the market.

Suzuki bits are often very interchangeable - can you get a slipper clutch for the TL?

Yes, they can be bought - but you might have to be Marty McFly 'cos mine was made in the late 50's or so

No doubt soembody will point you towards modern ones.

Yep,last year i almost stood on a flounder which was surprising as the bridge is a fair way from the coast.TL has a slipper clutch albeit a primitive one...though some of the guys overseas on the TL forum have fitted setups from donor bikes.Havent bothered myself it works ok.

There's a few around. I've long since lost my old original copper one, bought a stainless one which wasn't as good and lost that.

just compared the side on pic to ones I've got from 06 & 08 the whole system makes the old set-up look like match sticks by comparison...and you've got a thing for those Pirelli's haven't you.....every pic has the same tyres

You need to go and see someone about that, really, you do.

Waianakarua River in August? Yep ... that be chilly stuff.

[Edbear]

Good on ya Mike!
C.B. and I went down to Pounawea in the Olds (ex-Oamaru car) and give the Thermette it's first boil-up for the spring, had a cuppa and a couple of bikkys then home, nice day for a cruise.

We looked at the water, talked about floundering - then thought "Naaahhh.." - it ain't THAT warm yet.

I think 98tls has done enough floundering around in the water for now...

[unstuck]

I still have a thermette that was lost while I was doing pd at army bay on the whangaparoa penisular back in the 80,s.
An old forest service one I belive.

The whole package gets better as time goes on

Ha to double check pics to make sure the tread depth on them was different
