I rode a mates MkI up and down the road (about 700yds) 15 or so years ago.
Obviously left me with a lasting impression, as I'm here now.
I've been riding 1000EXUPs, Thunderaces and paused to go kitesurfing for five years. Now I'm back!
Always planned to go back to the Pyrenees, so went out and bought a MKII.
In truth the tax man bought it.
I figured that the money was better spent sitting in my garage being tinkered with instead of sitting in an account at LloydsTSB earning nothing till next January.
Though my TDM is quite clean on the surface, it's clear that it hasn't had a great deal of day to day care showered on it.
It cost £1500. (W 2000 26000miles). Anything I thought I saved is being spent on graft and bringing it up to my spec.
The forum is really useful in this respect.
Engine is good, tyres non existent(shame), loads of extras, luggage, scottoiler, immobiliser, hand guards, belly pan, screens and an unreal amount of corrosion about the disks and calipers.
The previous owner must have been using an aggressive cleaning agent I reckon.
<b>TYREDNGRUMPEE </b>was my user name as my kite forum persona.
So I was pleasantly surprised when....... <b><!--coloro:red--><!--/coloro-->T<!--colorc-->

Hello, this works on so many levels. I'm a miserable git by default. Glad to be onboard.
