Recap - A newish TDM, a day at the beach (with sun no less),  he bought her a new chain, brats for lunch to be followed by a slow strip..... :um: ........Sounds like Tom's got it  pretty tough. Enjoy the bike guy.

I dunno, I think we got a pretty decent summer this year, I quite enjoyed it. I could count the number of times I got caught in the rain on one hand. Lets hope next year is as good.

I'm just back from a holiday in Greece (they need the money even more that we do in Ireland). On mainland Greece, at least where I was around the South coast mountain area (Delphin) the roads are devoid of traffic, are of German quality (well, they did pay for them!) and to top it all there are TDMs everywhere, I have never seen so many. 

Maybe a good location for a RTT some year?

Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

Long Loved TDM is no longer with me...

Still enjoying the TDM, so much lighter than the Silver beastie.

Hi Tom850!

 

Palliative and at risk for road users Signs.
Does the agency responsible for the maintenance and safety of the track, have been reported?

 

Day looks like: grasshopper, mantis, seahorse and who knows what else? 
Night and riding the TDM with the original lighthouse, oh my God!
 
Cheers!

Replaced the baffle box with a two way splitter! Man is it loud! Makes my ears want to bleed.

But I love the roar when the rev's build up on full throttle!!!

And there is definitely a increase in power. The bike is such a pleasure to ride, the balance and handling is great.

 

The tires are almost smooth and I will try some semi off road ones next, perhaps.. Michelin Sirac/ Anakee ?

What say carpe?

i'd stick with road biased tyres if yer mainly on tarmac and gentle tracks.


spyball alarm/immob, bluespot brake calipers and Stainless hoses, Fournales air adjustable shock with Remote Resevoir, forks raised 10mm thru yokes, racetech linear fork springs in 15 wt oil, Kappa wingrack/luggage, heated grips, Kedo handguards, dual heat controller to power heated jacket liner and or pants!!, Stebel 136DB horn, K&N air filter, colour matched Baglux tank cover (magnetic tank bag modified to fit cover), osram +50% headloight bulbs, headlight protector,"NitramSpecial" parking loight, tail light indicators all running on LED's & incorporate "Lite Buddies", MK7 Scottoiler fitted, taller screen, 2-2 stainless steel CCC's, Devil stainless down pipes. MKI Renntec engine crash bars & sump guard.
engine changed july 2007 on a dyno run it made 79.1BHP / Torque 59.9Had a brief flirtation with a 1999 MKIIa but it blew an exaust valve on the M5 so was sold on to be repaired.

I loike tay and hang sangwiches !

Thanks wicklamulla, we have a lot of well used ground roads in the Eastern Cape and I was hoping to put something like this on..

Mitchelin-sirac look like a good on / off road tyre.

Pretty similar tread pattern to the Metzeler Tourances that adorn most GS's - so they should make a good dual purpose tyre  :good:

 

Now I'll have to do a search to see if you can get them here  - I'm sure my Mk2 will be up for some new ones come Spring  ;)

Put back the oem screen. Really like it! Works well.

The dash needs replacing and i will see if i can buy one, as well as a new screen. As the old one is  slightly modified.
