As the suspension on my bike will attest to, I like cake a little *too* much! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
Will keep my eye out for that rideout, too - Rutland is one of my favourite riding areas, the A606 from Nottm to Oakham is awesome!

Hi James,
I might be attending the Bulldog Bash, got a few mates who will be there. Are you frequenting the 'Any Spare Change' this year ? Think it's 15th-17th May. It's pencilled in on my calendar as a possible.

Hi Studley,
Wont be making the 'Any Spare Change' - it's the weekend after my daughters 1st birthday, so will be away with the Missus - I reckon I'd get bits removed if I told her I was off on a rally that weekend! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
Bulldog Bash, however is booked and paid for - might even try to convince the missus we should take the little 'un to BMF tail-ender...?

Best bike I've ever had and the missus likes it as well.

Currently riding a Deauville 650 for commuting and a VFR800Fi for fun.
Selling the Deauville, guy gave me a deposit on it today, and planning to buy a TDM900, 02-03.
A mate has one and he gave me a spin a couple of times lately and I am loving it.
Seen a 2002 navy in a shop in Dublin. Going to look at a black 2003 tomorrow. Neither have luggage so I wanna get a full hard luggage system for touring, hopefully I will have it on the road for the NW200 weekend [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yeahyeahyeah.gif[/img]
Any particular faults or issues I need to watch out for?

Do the 'air-box mod', smooths out low speed jerkiness.
You will find it on <b>JBX Tech Page</b>... Click <i>Carpe TDM Portal</i> (top left), look down the left side and you will find the link.
