Morning ( well it is here.. )

I bought a 2007 900 on Friday afternoon and have spent all weekend on it through the Adelaide Hills ( Cyclists everywhere, thanks tour downunder.. :punishment: ) and on to the Riverland,

I'm very disappointed to be truthful, Had other bikes in the last 8 or 9 years after a 20 year layoff from riding, Migration to Oz, kids, life, mortgages bills etc etc got in the way..

At various stages a 98 VFR, XT660X, GSX1400 x 2, CB1300, ZRX1100, 78 GS1000) Still own a couple of them.

Yes I'm disappointed...disappointed I didn't buy a TDM straight away .. These really are amazing bikes that do everything well and are fun doing it. Long runs, great, twisty roads, great, handling, great, braking, great, fun factor, AMAZING.... I am really really impressed with it and I can't think of anything I would rather ride every day.

Got a couple of jobs to do as with any second hand bike, fork seal and I'll do an oil/filter change, new plugs, probably pull out the K&N Filter and put a STD one back in there..

Already did the airbox mod thing and adjusted the fueling via the dash.. Still got a bit off snatch just off idle but it's a lot better than it initially was..

Cheers
