Hi guys
Not been to one of your meets but I'd like to tag along if you'll have me. May be able to convince a mate along on his 900 (after all, I managed to convice him to buy a TDM), if that's OK.
Cheers
Daniel

You'd be welcome Daniel. If I remember correctly, you're not that far away from me, so we could meet up and ride down to Bury in our own little group (ahhh!)

Coolio! Indeedy I'm in Yarmouth, so we can trundle down the A143 in some sort of tiny convoy!
I'm looking forward to it, should be a laff, and be good to put faces to names.

80 miles have got to be better than 50!
Now on 9er number 2 .....
Blimey. So has anyone done a count up recently to see how many are coming??
I make it 16 with Varadero guy too! Didn't think we had that many TDMs in this area, let alone Carpe members! Nice one guys (and gal).

Might be a "Stormy +1" if Andrea can get over for the weekend.
Also, if I can get both the TRX and the TDM with the right engines in the right bikes before then, we may bring both.

I would like to come along and make it 16 ? Would also love to get a second opinion on my engine knocking noise at low revs as well, and see if it is normal
