In response to the question, both Jaguar and Landrover, I'm based in Gaydon, but spend most of my time out at suppliers.

Hi ya Dablik

For my sins, I'm also involved with Dolomites, if you ever fancy a play with one again, let me know, I'm sure something could be arranged.

 

Personally, I've got a 1300, and a mk 1 2000, but need to get the 2000 finished, having dragged it out of the garage, where it had been sat since 1981!

 I had the hard top 2ltr version, a lovely motor that I still wish I had. Wub  It was destroyed when a lorry pulled out in front of me and ripped of a corner. :rant:

Try as I can I can't find a photo of it, to remind myself of how small they were and could still take 5 adults.

And on Saturday, I pick up a 1998 TDM 850, in Silver/black, 41K miles, ss brake lines, Hagon springs, and rear shock, mudguard extension, hugger, Predator 2 into 1 exhaust, heated grips, Scottoiler and a couple of other bits and bobs.

Last owner for 4 years, possibly paid a little over the odds, but a lovely bike with everything done.

Anyone got a rear rack for sale?

The only question I'd ask is this, the front forks have been dropped 25mm in the yolks, leave, or lift back up??

Bruce, Very happy

PS - anyone want to buy a BMW?

Congrats Bruce, sounds nice, hmm the forks, not owned a mk2 but dropped em on the mk1 and the 900, made a difference for me, turn in was a bit quicker..but really there was'nt much wrong with them at the normal position.

It`s here, we have a minor issue, I`ll post appropriately later, however, very happy!


It came to Coventry by trailer, towed by triumph 1300, which as a combination, caused a lot of looks on the M6.

Hi Folks.  My name is Ken.  I recently purchased a TDM 900 (thanks Paddy).  I have been a biker for about 15 years but had to sell my BMW GS 650 Dakar two years ago to invest funds in my business (broke my heart!).  As you know the biking bug never leaves you so before my NCB was lost I decided I had to get a bike.  I did my research and the TDM was getting great reviews so I went in search and found a lovely yellow specimen!  Haven't picked it up yet, but hope to do so very soon.  Looking forward to getting back on two wheels again.  Currently looking for extras to make it my own.

Cheers

Ken
