Hello All,

Not new to forums but new to this one. Bought my TDM last December and wonder why I tried all those other bikes bfore hand. Have fitted some Hepco and Becker engine guards and luggage (found out how good their stuff is when I had the KTM950) and bought a screen from Eagle screens in Australia (great quality and made to the height I wanted).

I also ride an FJR 1300 and a NTV700 for the Freewheelers emergency bikes in Yeovil as a volunteer so I get to confirm how good my TDM is every time I get off one of those.

Look forward to joining in with the banter and hopefully a few events.

Thanks for the welcome, will try to sort out the pictures as soon as I can figure out how to attach.

To answer the question, a blue 900 without the "I can't control my brakes" addition.

Indeed the hepco and becker stuff is real quality paniers and racks, and reasonably priced if bought from germany. i had the junior 30 litre sidecases on my 900.

however i'm now riding a bandit 1250 gt [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]

but i still linger like a smelly fart in these forums [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotflmmfao.gif[/img]

Thanks Matt for the photo info and to Hartside for the welcome.

Have opened a photbucket account but when I copy the link in here I just get the following message:
Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed

Any help would be appreciated, I obviously need a Carpe TDM for dummies book!

Are you copying the 'code' at the bottom of the picture? The 'code' you want starts with [img], just paste it straight in.

If you hit 'reply' you will see the 'code'.
