Took the TDM for a ride east of the mountains that divide Norway between the productive oil-rich West Coast and the usurping government-riddled eastern flaltlands, 840 kms round-trip. After decades of neglect the main east--west highways are finally being re-paved and rebuilt which means less worry about potholes, cracks and bumps around every blind curve (in Norway there isn't any other kind).

Started in the morning to testride a Tiger 800XCX and then a Yamaha MT09 Tracer, after weeks of reading reviews, money in my pocket to pull the trigger - but arrived to neither of the dealers, the TDM was so much fun I opted for an all day ride on it

Welcome to the forum. You are not far away. Maybe we can catch up at the H cafe sometime. Shame it is last minute. I am hosting a fettle day today, but there will be another in March/Apri.Bought one. Rode it home from Wakefield to Oxford and we got acquainted. Love it!
So what have you bought?

I just bought a 2006 TDM900 for a winter hack and gave it a damn good wash and cleaned/lubed the chain. Next a decent horn and some daytime running lights.

Only this year she lost the stickers on the fairing, wasn't that keen on the black striping. Looks cleaner without it.
