Right, I'll introduce myself.

My name is Gareth, and I live in Bristol UK. After 6 years on a ZX6R, I've recently traded it for a TDM900. It is a very clean & nice standard example from 2003 with only 8K miles on the clock. I think it has never seen rain in its life.

The reason for changing from sports to tour are many but the main one being that I need something a bit more comfortable for some touring this summer in the French Alps. The wife seems much happier so now we can go further than 1/2 hrs ride.....

I must say I'm still getting used to the differences, never known the existence of torque!

I hope you guys can help me with some good snippets of knowledge, I'll post my first question soon.

Cheers
Gareth

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img] You're very welcome Gareth and very fortunate to be one of the newst members of a very select bunch...

[Yes, I know far too many 'very's [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img] ]
An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us.
One is <b>Evil</b>. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego.
The other is <b>Good</b>. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humilty, kindness, empathy and truth.
The boy thought a while then asked "Which Wolf wins?"

"The one you feed" replied the old man...

For some reason, my avatar picture will not upload - will try again tomorrow.

Hi

I didn't know about this thread [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

My name is Jacek and I live in Poland. Currently I'm riding a '94 TDM. Previously I was riding XR250 and GSX 600F.

TDM is the motorcycle that is perfect for me at the moment [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Hope it will be with me for a long time [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

(I don't know english well, so I hope you will understand what I'm writing [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] )

Hello Jacek, and welcome. Your English is very good, so don't apologise.

Are you also a member of the Polish "TDM Zone"? Others please note - the site has an English page [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]

What's your location? Feel free to add your pin to the Carpe map.

Do you have pictures of your bike, touring in Poland etc. - maybe even as possibilities for our 2013 calendar? (See the thread for that).

Hi Jacek, that's a nice looking bike. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
MotoGuzzi Norge 1200GT. for Euro touring

Triumph Street Triple. For those hooligan moments......

Beta Alp 200. For falling off In muddy bits.

I suffer from C.D.O. It's like O.C.D. but all the letters are in the correct order, just as they should be.
