Nice z650's 
It was a z650 that first sparked my interest in mokeyboikes when I was a spotty yoof, mid to late 70's. Loved the compact look of it. Still do actually.

Its funny that i had no interest in them back then....after my ke175 then kh400 the next bike was a Z500, GPZ750, ZXR750, ZX7R....and up a few months ago i had four Z650'S....3 now.....
But i have to say the TDM is the best all round bike i've had to date...

Had a good run out with a local pal, on his Kwacker, making an impromptu stop at the Jim Clark Museum in Duns, which is an interesting stop, and by the end of the run the odometer clicked over 110k miles. Every now and then I think I can hear a bit of piston slap, but it's probably just a minor intermittent ticking noise, MITN.

You're a tdm owner, that clicking is more likely to be knees hips, or spine, we're all getting there.
Don't accuse the bike.

All back together after valve clearance adjustment. No leaks and running like a Swiss watch
Fresh MOT, no advisories. 
Another 12 months of fun awaits, and 24k miles before it needs doing again.
The best thing about being old is we did all our stupid stuff before the Internet was invented, so there’s no proof.

In Barwies Austria for a few days. Rained on for an hour or so today but dry 40mins after. Lovely wet roads today but cars going really slow through wet bends .... speed cameras by the thousands too. Warned about a mobile trap by a trucker who spotted my exuberant off seat, toes on pegs (dry), style/progress.
