What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Staffy - 10-11-2014
Today I walked past the bike on the way to the car. That's four days without riding now. That has to be the longest stretch since I got the bike!
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - drobinson - 11-11-2014
for the past 3 days I have been mainly repainting my centrestand

Using a kiddies paint brush eh??
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - RolfieB - 11-11-2014
I have to confess that since returning from N.Z. the only thing I've done is ran her up twice. Felt some pangs of guilt as it could do with a clean.
So I should be spanked for neglecting it.
However, engine bars should be here in a couple of weeks, so can see some fettling happening then.

Been out there, done some more polishing and cleaning, fitted a new front side light led panel, every time I think right now's the time for a spin, the heavens open and down it comesÂ
orry:Mended a waterpump for my spares box so I'm sort of future proofed. I'll bet now I've got one, it will never play up.
Looking to keep the TDM for the long term so I'm stashing stuff away.

36 degrees C today and I'm riding to work this morning after a four day drought. Everything is now right with the world....

had a custom exhaust shop fab a mid pipe and weld into this 06 Kawasaki Ninja ZX14 muffler
sounds beautiful - music to my ears
beats the heck out of the Micron noise-maker that was on it when I bought it

Bloody hell !
That's a long can â¦â¦..d'you still have to comply with emissions regulations on 'after market' mods in the States then ?
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - celticbiker - 19-11-2014
I think that's normal in the states, they dry everything is bigger over there.
Then again perhaps we brits are just used to short and stubby and just don't know what normal looks like.

Â
The only two things that are (somewhat) enforced is noise levels and spark arrestors for off road bikes. But even on that stuff, enforcement is pretty lax.
Â
Most states don't have the equivalent of your MOT requirement. Here in Virginia, we have an annual safety test, but it is pretty much making sure your brakes and lights work and your tires are OK. Nothing near as strict as it sounds like the MOT test is.

One LEO once wanted to accuse me of illegal manipulation of my exhaust. He found a small hole at the end of my Marving cans and stated I had removed the db-eater.
It was a hole to let off condensed water. Marvings do not sport db-eaters as they are of the reflexive muffling persuasion.
But it has become a bit more relaxed in the past years. And my local TÃV engineers are motorcyclists themselves and appreciate well maintained old iron. Strict and thorough, but fair.

I love how it looks and especially how it sounds. It's quiet but has a bit of rumble, a little bite to it. Heavenly.
And I really wanted to mount some Kawasaki parts on this Yamaha!
Â
The bags I mounted last weekend.
Bought super-cheap ($50 USD) and the seller included a very nice Nelson Rigg tank bag and little Chase Harper strap on case big enough for phone, keys, etc. All in new condition. The cat was a real peach!

You guys should move to South Australia. No inspections at all unless you get pulled over by the boys in blue for a faulty turn signal or bald tyres or something.

Yes we should. If only!
