Eh, guess I ought to toss out an intro. Name's Brian and I'm from over here where the TDM's are few (the US). I remember lusting after/wanting a TDM back in 1997 or so, and just Not being able to scrape up the cash. S'ok cause I ended up with an 87 VFR that I put 100k miles on, and now I DO have the money (almost, gotta sell a Bandit 400 first) and a nice lookin '93 up for sale just down the road. So, if nothing gets buggered up in the next 2 weeks, I'll hopefully be on a blue '93. It's already fitted with a corbin seat, tall screen, pod air filters and Yosh exhaust, but the current owner has no clue about the rest. I'm betting that the emulsion tubes are shot, and the jetting is off and have doubts about the valves being checked. But in a land of few choices, I'm not going to be too picky.
Anyway, great forums ~ I've already been digging through and getting a feel for the MK1's. I'm planning on using it to explore the dirt roads that dominate the state (Wyoming, in the Rocky Mountains ~ we have more dirt roads than paved ones), do some 2-up touring with the wife and using it as a commuter when I don't feel like riding the bicycle.
Cheers....
