The trail ride today was short and great.We meet around 9.30am.And straight on in after breakfast.
At this point....ansley with the power of his little hamster eye power,able to spot a tiny bird's egg.

In this trail,there's alot of these soft sand areas...PBS,with a road front tyre,and for not having long legs,suffers alittle.
Anyways...he asked to be excused bcoz he said he is a noob...

The TDM or likewise some of the trailies have short wheelbase..this is some of the difficulties we face.

However,the guys were great.
1st ciggs break.
Ride on...
Another break....

Nature call...fertilizing the tree...

WE ARE NOT WORTHY................

well done you guys

Great pics show what TDM can be used for.

As well as mixing it with sports bikes on tarmac in UK, the TDM can do a 'Charley and Ewan' in Singapore and (of course) all the touring and commuting jobs that it takes in its stride

Mr Yamaha should be proud!

(If only the rest of the two-wheel world, and press, would take notice)

They are some great big fook-off panniers on that black TDM !
What sort are they then AJ ?

Look like they could nearly hold the UK National Debt in them


Nice pics BTW .................I'm exceedingly jealous

Thanks DIcky...well,Mr's AJ should have known what kind of a man she is marrying from the start,so with some compromise like "you go play your bike,i give you 5hrs...and after that,you come back home,and then you sent me to the groceries store".. The engine bars is customised locally from a stainless steel company..but they don't charge cheap.The previous owner of my TDM have done so.The price goes like SGD$420..furthermore,it's not a company that is not recognise worldwide.

THanks Pete..If Singapore is huge and have great riding grounds like Europe,it would be bless...unlike all this urban jungle that we go through everydays in our lives...So to do just what we did yesterday,is just a form of de-stressed...
