Top man for leaving a note for me, you should have stuck your head around the door and said hello. Just recently started work at Caddsdown and therefore new to the area and don't know a soul yet. Yesterday was the first time I've ridden the bike for a couple of weeks as the weather since I got to Devon has been bloody awful and the Torridge bridge with 90MPH winds is interesting to say the least. Where are you in relation to Bideford and do you get over to Bideford often? It would be good to talk to a fellow minded biker.
Thanks for the note, look forward hearing from you

hehe dont need drink hon, I am naturally like this, but seriously I do love your bike she is sexy, I thought about putting panniers and a top box on mine but as I live around a roughish area and have to keep a special eye on my bike as the youths are partial to helping them selves to other peoples bikes I have no choise but to keep my baby In the back and the only way to get her in and out is through the house and if i had to put the boxes on and off everytime its going to become a chore and not a pleasure going out on her..so I think if I do get some then they can only be used when we go long distances.
Did have the bike in a garage up to a couple of months ago but it was being watched by the said youths and I thought better.

i mainly only use the top box, the panniers only comeout when away for the weekend or touring.
during the week she's garaged in 'not a brilliant area', but when i'm back home for the weekend its a nice area so have no problems.
grrr yoofs
they need to get their own lives rather than nicking other peoples

yeah too right but Im happy to have the bike in the back and its ok cos I have pleanty of duck oil and chain lube to keep her well oiled, strange the bike is safer there than in the garage.
I have to get a new tyre for the back but am a little confused cos I am unsure what size to get and which the best type for me and the bike is, as I like to drop her on corners and am ok with riding in the wet i know there are certain types for different riders but hell I dont know...lol

I'm not sure who made the zorsts they were already on the bike when I got it and I can't see any identifying labels/stickers, there is the all important BS road legal stamp which makes MOT's a bit easier. As I said I'm new to the area, so new Im living in a caravan not far from Ilfracombe while the wife and kids are still at home in deepest darkest Essex while all the usual house sales/purchases go through. I only get access to T'internet during the week while i'm at work as all my stuff is still at home. Hopefully the next month should see me in our new house and reunited with the family and the TDM in its new garage home. Are there any other TDM owners from the Bideford/Barnstaple North Devon area?
You look like a Scrawny little git in your pictures. You be pleased to know that if you stood next to me you would look like a wee fella as I'm not a small chap.
