After 2+ years of ownership, many hours of fiddling, fixing & restoring I decIded I needed something a tad more reliable for the biking I wanted to do so traded her in on Saturday for a Tiger 1050.
I bought her to get back into biking after a long long lay off from it. Ive loved every minute of having aTDM & had I had the space would of kept her.
So just wanted to say so long & ride safe to all on here & thanks for all the info, help & inspiration over the past couple of years.
Cheers all
Andy, ManonEdge
