Hi all. I'm Simon, commonly known by most of the local biking fraternities as Screw. I live in sunny (sometimes!) Guernsey in the Channel Islands. I had a TDM850 about 8 years ago, but made the mistake of trading it in for a KTM640 supermoto. Really wish I hadn't!! I am now in the process of acquiring another one for a VERY good price!! It needs a lot of TLC, and quite a few bits, but once I pick it up, I shall post a few piccies of before and after.
It will be the 5th bike in my collection, joining these:

Hi all
Just signed up as I'm on the lookout for a 9er to use for all-year round fun and a bit of commuting.
Need to sell my green laning steed (WR250R) first to free up some cash, but once that's gone I'll be itching to get my hands on a TDM
Cheers
Steve
