Hello everyone, just introducing myself. I'm Steve I'm from Harlow, Essex. I'm a thermal insulation engineer (lagger) . I bought myself an 09 Tdm last week after going through a cb500 suzuki gsx650f cbr600rr over the last 6 years. What a comfy bike the Tdm is. I'm using it mainly for commuting to Westminster and its a breeze.Exspecialy with the bit of power sneakily hidden away there! Extras on it are spots, fuel exhausts k&m filter of which i've never been a fan of, heated grips crash bars hand guards and a very large screen which I've now replaced for the summer with a small one I bought off the very helpful Kelpie and AL I'm sure I'll be pestering them again!
Thanks for reading guys and girls

Glad to help and nice to know there's more than 2 TDM's in Harlow! :)

PS, we both have K&N filters (air and oil) and very happy with them.

Hi I'm mark from up in sunny Teesside. I don't own a TDM as yet, but am actively looking and hope to get hold of one soon. I do ride an FJ1200 but the TDM looks like it will suit my lanky frame (and bad back) much better, and everyone seems to love them so that's got to be a good sign!  :D

Hi everyone,introduction time, I'm Ken, an ex Consett hillbilly long since relocated to the Midlands. Forced into early retirement after me and my beloved R1 somersaulted over a car at a junction. I have recently bought a 36000 mile ABS 9er intending to just get on it and ride, but as usual my OCD kicks in and I have to check that everything is hunky dory, so before I know it, the bikes in a thousand dirty bits all over the shop. Now back together looking like new,[the bike, not me] I took it out today for the first ever ride on a TDM since I tested a new 850 mk1 back in the day. It is taking some getting used to, feels heavy with bouncy suspension so some adjustments needed [ me and the bike] I am enjoying the sedate pace so far,and riding like 'Walter the softy' I should get lots of mpg,which is why I bought it in the first place. Regards all  :good: K.
