Hello - Matt - 07-04-2006 Hello, Just thought I'd take a couple of minutes to introduce myself. As most of you have probably read in alunl's message I am the new proud owner of his old bike. The TDM is the second bike that I've had the pleasure of owning, the first a silver SV650 K3. The SV was a great bike to learn to ride on and after two years i'm ready to move on. I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of you on a ride to Swansea during 05 (i think it was 05, it's been a busy couple of years). Here's to the TDM bringing hours of fun. Matt Hello - tdm850rider - 07-04-2006 Welcome Matt, TDM is a near perfect bike, just be careful in the beginning as a slow turn around they suddenly get top heavy. Yes the gearbox is 'supposed' to clunk going into low gears (synth oil seemed to reduce it in mine) A well ridden TDM will spank a sportbike in the twisties. In the 'Admin' section is a post with a link to the read-only posts from the previous Carpe site. <!--quoteo(post=18:date=Thu 16th Mar 2006, 08:00 PM:name=Guinness)-->QUOTE(Guinness @ Thu 16th Mar 2006, 08:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->as you can see the old phpbb forum is back online but also READ ONLY OLD FORUM > http://www.carpe-tdm.net/tdmforum<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> Enjoy! Hello - dazzo - 08-04-2006 Welcome Matt Did I meet you in Swansea last year? Nice bike by the way B) Hello - Matt - 08-04-2006 Yes I think We did meet. Just got back from my first ride, currently wearing the biggest smile and what's more no back ache. I think i'm going to have a bit of fun on this bike.
