I just dusted-off my 99 TLR after sitting for 15 years sitting in boxes and a partially disassembled frame.
I bought it new in 99 and road it hard for 5 years mostly in the twisties until I low sided it on the Angeles Crest highway fending off a 916 in 04. The damage was mainly cosmetic except I crushed both of the Yosh Ti mufflers in the process

Haven’t ridden motor cycles until 3 years ago and bought a 2016 DR-650 where I converted it to a supermoto last year and having a blast on it. All the time I staring at the carcass of the TL covered in dust and remembering how much fun I’ve had on this bike and all it needs is to finish the assembly.
Well I dragged it out of it’s hole, cleaned it off and benched the engine last week and this is where I’m starting.

Both brand new Dunlop 207's need to be replaced. The bike looks just like where I left off on 04, no corrosion anywhere on the bike or in the engine thanks to So. Cal weather.
