Would love to see it in action... I always thought the TDM's frame and engine alone look good


Somebody made that comment about my bike the other week.

Most people probably don't realise that the TDM has a chunky Deltabox frame underneath that bulbous plastic.

Are there any videos of the Hillclimbing TDM in action?

MCB... I like your bike.

Dave, we should meet up for one of these events and show support for a TDM!

MCBodge there are no videos of my TDM hill climbing.
But I can't be sure there are none of any.
There are a few videos on youtube and on the nhca site, just for a flavour!! The side cars are great to watch!!

Well the engine is rebuilt, in the bike and it runs!! yahoo.gif yeahbaby.gif drinks.gif
Which considering I'm entered to race at Gurston Down (near Salisbury) on Sat and Sun is just a little bit of relief!!

Dapleb if you can post a link to the vids that would be great!!

It was on the end of one of these ear mini DV tapes....just working out which one and hoping I aint written over it.

They were a right friendly bunch loike ya said. Stan Stephens was there, we had to put Wicky on a tether by the cliff to stop him from trying to rutt Stan's leg.

Erm, is it me or have the yokes on that race bike been dropped 6inche's? That would explain the steering damper then, and the fork brace above the yokes ohmy.gif. Interesting ride I bet.
