Black 900 spotted going down FitzWilliam Place in Dublin at ~ 8:30am.....mmmm...nice and clean!

Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

Long Loved TDM is no longer with me...

Wiki - I was just there for the week on a course. It was very taumatising mind you, the bus commute not the course! Insurance ran out the week before so the bike is resting at the moment..
Seem to be seeing and hearing of quite a few TDMs around DUblin these days that don't pop up on the this forum.

Judging by the number of Irish members on carpe these days I reckon the country is knee deep in TDMs. Not in Kerry though!

2001 TDM. 1990 Serow. 2004 DRZ400.  3 bikes, four cylinders. Who needs more?

Boyfriend lives just off the roundabout at the M50 junction. If I've got my bits and pieces in time, I'll be on the TDM. If not, it'll be the R1. He's rides a silver and black 05 Vara XL with high screen, or a 94 aging ZX9. Roof boxer helmet.

We usually join a Sunday morning breakfast run with a few IBF members. If you wanna come along you'd be more than welcome.

So did I occasionally - or at least whenever I popped over to the Dublin office 2 or 3 times a year. Maybe a couple of years after that, though.
Another boring night & I'm feeling pissed....

My bloke says he knows your bike, Dances. Just down from Redmond's shop. He's never seen it on the road though, just parked outside your place. Says it's a lovely colour and he's often admired it. Mr Redmond bought my CBR600fs in the summer.

So..... if you're out and a bout and you see this nutter on a Vara, beware! blush.gif

Kelpie,
Small world is it not? Peter Redmond I know for 40 yrs or so. He was only talking about his bike last week.
Bike is outside when I'm working in the garage at my bench. Not every day though.
Your man's face looks familiar, I think I've seen him around.
Blue on Saturday night? I'll pm my mobile number.

Wicky, look forward to seeing you over the humbug season. Call or text me.
