Hi all. Just bought a Tedium 850. Think it's a MK11(?) 1998. Has belonged to a friend of mine for the last couple of years, and I've lusted after it ever since I first rode it. It's not the worlds mintest bike, but it is tidy and presentable. Mechanically it seem's fine (though I noticed the clutch slipped a bit at high revs) and my mates alway looked after it, just had new tyres and pads, and I spent a happy Sunday a few weeks ago welding the header pipes back together where they enter the head!
He turned up yesterday in need of funds as his brother had let him down, and he wanted to buy a BMW (eeuch!) so the dearly beloved went round the local cashpoints to russtle up the £950 he wanted for it. I thought it was a bargain....

Bit of a bad moment really as I'd just bought a WR450 on Tuesday, so funds are a little tight. I've already got a Thunderace so I've now got a single, twin, and a four cylinder version of the Yamaha five valve head!

Also got a 69 Bonnie and a 75 Goldwing so a bit of a collection starting. My problem is though I tend to get all my bikes "mint" and then I won't ride them if the weathers looking dodgy... Not that it ever rains here....

I'm determined NOT to mint this bike up, I will use it all year round and in all weathers. But of course, I can feel the urge to start stripping things and painting - must resist, must resist....

It's done 45.000 miles, fitted with a Triumph (!!) carbon can, scottoiler, rack and a topbox. It sounds lovely, and I've used it quite a bit over the last two years so I know it well. It's now got Conti tyres on, but it felt better with Avon Storms, so I might play with tyre pressures.

Dave.
