In response to the question, both Jaguar and Landrover, I'm based in Gaydon, but spend most of my time out at suppliers.

Nice to see ya- niceÂ
Welcome Bruce, now what was it i had, a Triumph Dolomite sprint way back when, if funds ever allowed i would love a Vitesse just like this one,Still think it's a gorgeous motor even today.

:welcome:Â to da club Bruce !Â
Â
I also once owned a Dolomite, it was the 1850HL in maroon with wooden dash.

Hi ya Dablik
For my sins, I'm also involved with Dolomites, if you ever fancy a play with one again, let me know, I'm sure something could be arranged.
Â
Personally, I've got a 1300, and a mk 1 2000, but need to get the 2000 finished, having dragged it out of the garage, where it had been sat since 1981!

Quote:Nice to see ya- niceÂÂ I had the hard top 2ltr version, a lovely motor that I still wish I had.
Still think it's a gorgeous motor even today.
 It was destroyed when a lorry pulled out in front of me and ripped of a corner. :rant:Try as I can I can't find a photo of it, to remind myself of how small they were and could still take 5 adults.

Right then, going to have a look at a mk 2 850 tomorrow evening, here's hoping!

And on Saturday, I pick up a 1998 TDM 850, in Silver/black, 41K miles, ss brake lines, Hagon springs, and rear shock, mudguard extension, hugger, Predator 2 into 1 exhaust, heated grips, Scottoiler and a couple of other bits and bobs.
Last owner for 4 years, possibly paid a little over the odds, but a lovely bike with everything done.
Anyone got a rear rack for sale?
The only question I'd ask is this, the front forks have been dropped 25mm in the yolks, leave, or lift back up??
Bruce, Very happy
PS - anyone want to buy a BMW?
>>> INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE <<< - dablik - 21-01-2014
Congrats Bruce, sounds nice, hmm the forks, not owned a mk2 but dropped em on the mk1 and the 900, made a difference for me, turn in was a bit quicker..but really there was'nt much wrong with them at the normal position.
>>> INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE <<< - triumph1300 - 25-01-2014
It`s here, we have a minor issue, I`ll post appropriately later, however, very happy!
It came to Coventry by trailer, towed by triumph 1300, which as a combination, caused a lot of looks on the M6.

Very nice Bruce, now just need to wait for a nice day :good:

Hi Folks. Â My name is Ken. Â I recently purchased a TDM 900 (thanks Paddy). Â I have been a biker for about 15 years but had to sell my BMW GS 650 Dakar two years ago to invest funds in my business (broke my heart!). Â As you know the biking bug never leaves you so before my NCB was lost I decided I had to get a bike. Â I did my research and the TDM was getting great reviews so I went in search and found a lovely yellow specimen! Â Haven't picked it up yet, but hope to do so very soon. Â Looking forward to getting back on two wheels again. Â Currently looking for extras to make it my own.
Cheers
Ken
