Hi, another convert to TDMs. I,m Paul, wrong side of 50, and pick up my 2003 TDM tomorrow. I live in the Isle of Man, don't know if you have anyone else out here. Will probably be over in the next month to give her a run, and compare to my last bike (Ducati 750ss) Lovely bike, but it killed my wrists and shoulders after a couple of hours. Looking forward to meeting up at one of the events, see you soon.

Welcome Paul.
Hope you like the new steed.
So long as you have a sense of humour [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img] and a love of cakes [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cake eating.gif[/img] and a big tub of vaseline( hmm no emoticon for that) you'll fit into the 900 club just fine.

Damn, only just got back from there at the weekend. There's a Mk2 we bumped in to while over there who's an occasional poster on the site. got to say you've got some fantastic roads over there.

welcome fella - relatively new here myself but these guys have made me feel welcome despite being occasionally obtuse and cantankerous beyond my years (me not them!)
just replying to your hard luggage post

Hi Paul, welcome to Carpe. We were over on your fantastic island last week, I love the IoM. Look forward to seeing you some time, there's a few of us in Merseyside and we have regular get togethers if you can get over.

Really, sounds like we need to try harder if we're being out obtused and cantankered by a new recruit! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the replies, I've only done about 10 miles on a test run so far, hoping to have a good run tomorrow. I'll keep an eye out for the 'pool mets if possible. Will put some pics of the bike on tomorrow, just have to think of a name for her.

Hi, I'm over the west side of the Island, between Peel & Glen Maye. I put a marker on the map. I went out for the afternoon today, did about a hundred miles - what a difference to the duc, no aches or pains, should have got one years ago. Can't wait to go for a good trip on it, shall have to get my name down for one of the meets. heres a couple of pics, its only done 3600 miles. I'll hopefully have some luggage soon. All the best to everyone, be nice to put a face to some names at one of the meets.

I'll see if I can get time off work, was looking at that g2g, fancied it but thought it was full.
