Hello guys

 

I am officially an owner of a 4TX6 2000 TDM 850.

A small resume of my self I manage a Bicycle shop for living at my 50s in Venezuela, also own a Moto Guzzi V11 Sport and a Majesty 125 all of them from 2000.

But I was in the need of a big motor upright possition and some kind of dual porpoise capabilities, a friend of mine was in the mood of sale his bike and I end up bringing her home.

After ride the Guzzi as a big cc engine I found the TDM easy  and light  with a poor suspensions.

I have to confess the althoguht the  bike is unmolested she did not receive all the love she deserve in the last 15 years or the presume 40k kilometers since the clock stop working around 25k due a problem with a sensor on the front wheel after a flat tyre (somebody have a clue of what I have been told)

My plans are using her as a commuting vehicle    since the Majesty will serve as a transportation of my son with some touring with the wife who is not too much happy with other bike in the garage.

I have been lurking in the forum for a about a couple of months now and already have a very good idea of what to espect of the bike but for sure will return for the knowlege and wisdom of all of you

 

Have a great day and I wish you health to enjoy your rides

Hi Maw!

 

Be very welcome to the house.
It is almost certain; so your child back from the tour, the bike will no longer be yours.

Obvious; he will not return it to you. :P

 

Cheers!
