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 :tup:

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.
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.

Fitted halogen bulbs to the indicators = much brighter for the same wattage.

 

Fitted a clear LED real (yes real, instead of the single bulb crap), rear light assembly from KEDO

 

Made it a new ramp for shed entry/exit in its new shed
