So it's been about 2 months since the TDM took second place behind the S10.
I have to say that I really do miss riding the TDM. I still see her daily as she's at the top of the garden pending decisions on what to do with her.
The S10 is a great bike, but the TDM just has more "something" when riding, somehow more engaging. That said the S10 eats miles like we eat Cake!
The S10 got a Trekker top box, and recently a Delkevic pipe, which I'm sure is just the start. Already looking at screens, seat options and cosmetics. Plus I have Fixitsan's DRL controller to fit.
The biggest question is what to do with the TDM.
SWMBO is starting to nag about moving it on, the money would benefit the "house moving pot", but whats she worth really (bike not SWMBO). With 80K+ on the clock, and a fairly hard life behind her (daily commuter work-horse), plus the immediate need for C&S and a front tyre, it's not an easy sale.
I'm tempted to keep her, and fettle her back to road-worthy-ness, but I don't really have the time or space.
I have a feeling that a low start ebay auction may be the final resting place for her...but we shall see.
I'll post up a few photos and a list of the bits, just in case anyone on here is interested in a cheap project. She can't be driven on the road now, so would mean a van/trailer collection.
