She could do, but I'm going to have to lose 3 or 4 bikes next year to make room for what will probably be my last new one.
It's going to be a tough decision ......
Boy's Honda will probably go due it being a write off - Honda reckon it will cost £1600 to repair - and at almost 3 years old & 10K miles, it ain't worth that much
My Trumpet is down to go ....mainly due to extreme lack of use
One of the XT 250's
I can't bring myself to part with my Fazer 1000, or any of my BM's ......The K12000S is costing me a small fortune (more than I paid to buy the Studleybike) to get the servo/ABS unit replaced, so that needs to stay for at least another 5 years to get payback 
..and it's a bit extravagant having two TDM's ........Soooooo........ A decision best put off until that latter half of next year when I order me new one ...........

Today, I've expanded all brake pads.
In the brake pads be drilling holes and thread and from the rear 3 mm brass screws as far as screwed, that the threads will protrude 1 mm on the side with the surface of the metal plate.
The thread have I inserted with Loctite and smooth sawed off the heads of the screws.
The brake pads are at the end, the screws will make a golden line on the brake disc.

My bike has had a bit of a birthday lately. Not only is it clean & shiny but the shock has been off, cleaned & backed right off to adjust it properly.
Noticed the wee lug on the right hand side panel had cracked off & the left one was starting to, so made some thin aluminum reinforcing brackets & superglued them inside the panels. Can't see them. I reckon heavily loaded soft panniers and bumpy gravel roads may be the cause of the cracking.
Also replaced the clear vinyl on the side panels to stop the bags rubbing and made a balls of it...... Vinyl is years old & some of the glue stayed on the backing and heat from the sun made the vinyl stretch.
Only rust I have seen is on the Kerker exhaust Y piece and the stone screen on the radiator. Not bad for a 98.Fork paint left hand engine case are showing signs of stone damage but, meh, got to ride them so it's to be expected.
Clean bike.
Did this to rear tire a couple of days ago. The only clean part of the bike at the time.
Oh, hi Chris. Colly is havin a blast.

Acquired a stablemate for it.
My riding has taken on a different dimension now (and the future) and I grabbed a mates '04 Suzuki DR650 (15k kms).
It sadly means that, as I am a one-bike-at-a-time bloke, the TDM will find it's way to trademe (our local ebay) shortly into the New Year. Sad to see it go, but needs must and all that

I get where your at D, contemplated moving on meself a few times. Thing is our bikes have a low dollar value but huge shed value. I can't bring myself to part with the versatility & reliability. So I accrue more bikes. Just got one of these.

Laugh? I nearly bought a round. It's amazing all things considered.
