I like what they have done with that thingy, it helps it to remain a practical sports bike whilst retaining its off roadyness.

The "mercenary" TDM did the Taffy Dakar last year and finished. not bad for a "road" bike! I think he's doing some more off road this year. TDM's are probably the most versatile motorcyle ever made.

Yep, Evan is taking his Mercenary TDM on the Paddy Dakar again next weekend. I'm not overly keen on the chopped rear end but each to his own and nobody could argue that he's not getting the full use out of TDMAttached File  FB_IMG_1538003032442.jpg   235.43KB   2 downloads
