Arthurs Pass - Yellow And Silver Mk Ii - Shadowjack - 26-12-2019

Haven't posted in a while, the TDM was two bikes ago, but keep track of the Carpe-world all the same. 

So, on a quick Boxing Day  run around the block (home-Hanmer-Lewis Pass-Moana-Arthurs Pass-home), spotted a yellow/silver TDM MkII, parked next to a ST1100/1300 in Arthurs Pass. Could have knocked me over with a feather, so its either the other MkII in NZ, or a  third one. 

So, if you're here, and saw a black DL650 with a big screen, well, that was me.

Great day for a ride - temps in the late teens-early 20's, bit of cloud cover, agreeable traffic letting the faster mover through, nice Boxing Day lunch in Hanmer with whanau, left at 0930, back by 1830.

Merry Xmas/Happy New Year to you all.

T'was not me. I was on my trials bike yesterday. I have yet to see another TDM in all the years since we met.

 

I'm looking at a T7 in the next year or so and will be looking you up for Mainland advice on where I can go to get it dirty and drift a fly.

 

All the best for the New Year D.

M, a T7 - all the reviews so far seem very positive. Might get to my local Yamaha dealer for a look. Not in the market, having acquired a Strom, but just out of curiosity...

Did some piscatorial recon t'other day up at Lake Coleridge - blowing a gale, so unsuccessful spinning it was. Dusty, too. 

Have a good New Year
