Just found this 'page'..............2 weeks late but..... here goes ð
My names Steve, (Farley), living in Guisborough NE England, 52yrs young.
Never had a 'four', owned Spanish, Italian, Japanese, German.....2strokes-stokes, singles-twins-triples.
Persuaded my son to go for a big twin for his first big bike (56 SV1000sz) with promises to buy it of him when he was ready to 'move on'......
Guess what..........He LURVES it..........!!!!!!!! ð³
So..........a medically enforced 'lay off' from bikes, (2yrs) Son showing no signs of 'moving on'..........
To be honest a TDM didn't come into the equation............always wanted a Africa Twin.....but one came along anyway!!!!
Rode a 600 Hornet, (buzzy rev hungry 'toy'.....actually had to use the brakes to slow down) bought the 94 TDM for £1020, liking everything about it so far.........
Quick comparison between SV/Hornet/TDM........SV, think your going 80, look n find ya doing 100+, Hornet, think ya going 80, look n find ya doing 55, TDM, think ya doing 70, look n find ya doing 70.........
So far so good anyway..........one happy rider!!!!! ð

Hi all!
Did my das in April after finally getting a round tuit , never been on a bike before then
My father in law kindly gifted me his 2001 850 which had been sat in the garage with 3000 miles on the clock...
First time back on a bike was getting aquatinted with her in the countryside around Dunkirk where he met me whilst waiting for the ferry back...still had a smile on my face when I got drenched on the m25 after 5 hours.
I live in Kingston Surrey and would be great to meet up with any other owners locally . I've lots of questions and no clue! Make a good coffee though...
Currently going through the red tape so that the DVLA can send me gatso photos...

Hi everyone,
Â
Well having come across this site by accident how could I not join! My name is Matt and I've been riding since I was seventeen, and apart from my green Kawasaki KDX125 I rode to passed my test, I've only ever owned our trusty TDM. My first was a 98' 850. But I've been on my black 900 for two years now.
Â
Being six foot five these TDMs are a godsend for me!
Â
So if any of you inhabit nearby the south Leicestershire area there's always a fellow available for a ride-out here.
Â
Btw, This TDM is the best one I've had and seeing as they've been killed off I'm never selling her, yes her! She's got character has my Morgana...I named her too...sorry!
Â
Can't see me buying a Tracer either...but then I haven't ridden one yet...yet.
Â
Good to meet you all!

There's a couple of us locally.

The two rules of  Mk2 TDM ownership are:
1 Check the oil
2 Repeat rule 1

Lol
I'm back in the Deutschland for a week or so but if anyone local to Kingston fancies being grilled over a coffee and a sticky bun about the joys of looking after her let me know!

Thought I had better say hello in the correct place instead of rushing in like the muppet I am and saying hello in the wrong place
Â
I'm Jon from near Grimsby, got a 98 850 and have to say am loving it. Ive had a bike on the road since I was 16 (now 49) from my Garelli Tiger through to my TLR1000 which I still miss, also done a bit of racing in the 90's on TZ's etc.

Hi Rimotu66...welcome to the forum.....as possibly Frankie Howard once said.... :good:

Hi,
I am not in possession of a TDM but it sits at the top of my list.
My name is Ian, I live on the edge Oxford.Had a few bikes over the years. I am looking for an all rounder. I did have a 2011 Versys for a while but it was too much of a perch on the back for my other half and just lacked a bit in power. Since then I went a bit exotic a got myself a Moto Guzzu Griso in Tenni Green which makes me grin whenever I ride it. Now after many comments and hints, I have the go ahead to add another bike to the garage. So the Griso will stay for sunny days and hence my arrival here. The TDM seems a bit like it could commute, tour, scratch, and have enough character to give me some smiles. I came across one a couple of years ago ( TDM 900 in Blue )and remember the lovely sound. I think it had GPR exhausts on it? Also hand guards. My budget would be 2/3K . I have a big Givi top box with a pillion pad ready to add to whatever I get. I did go down the route of a Blackbird or VFR 800 but I am not convinced.
Great forum, been rattling through threads and checking out ownership etc.
Anyway, thanks for the forum! ........bows, nods, & doffs cap to all.
