Hello,
Â
New member here. Yesterday, I acquired a tidy, if overpriced, Italian import from a dealer in my town of residence: Tallinn, Estonia.
Â
This is my second TDM having owned an 850 back in about 2001 and is my 23rd bike to date.
Â
Anyway, this one is a 2003 with 78K km on the clock, or about 45k in real money.
Â
Very tidy bike, to be fair. Not much road salt or rain in Italy, and a fair degree of two-wheeled mechanical sympathy it seems so hopefully a trouble free ride.
Â
I've got oil, oil and air filters, fresh DOT 4, two spark plugs and a rear pad set to fit. Once done, let the good times roll including a Tallinn-Prague-Vienna-High Tatras-Krakow-Tallinn 10 day trip planned for August, COVID-19 precautions allowing.
Â
Anyway, looking to learn from seasoned TDM owners about a bike that I think is set to become one of my faves.
Â
Maiden Voyage. Stopping to warm up after 1 hour in the glacial northerly wind that makes an Estonian April feel like a UK February:
