Yup - if only it were the 650 unsure.gif : that'd raise a few eyebrows. wink.gif evillaff.gif

No it's not. Last big CMC trip we had 2 Mk1 TDMs, 2 Mk2's, a 900, an XTZ with a TDM engine, a TDM owner on a BMW, and a Tiger. This TDM meet sounds like it'll have far more non-TDMs than a CMC meet :-D

1992 Mk1, 76k miles, Hagon springs, MTC exhaust, 4½ gears Gone now :(
2009 900 abs, 42k miles, Yamaha heated grips, double bubble screen, R&G crash bungs, scottoiler, Autocom, 1500 lumen LED spotlights.
