An article in MSL Last month sums things up for many of us I think...

Yes TDM is plenty tech loaded for me. I am a troglodyte though. Only just got a mobile phone a year back. New bikes are going the same way as cars - you need to be a spotty teenager with a laptop to sort them out when they fail.

And if the laptop doesn't tell exactly whats wrong they don't have a clue so they keep replacing good parts till it fixes itself (while billing you), we've had it with the company van, vw van centre completely hopeless.
Gimme an old school bike anyday.

A quick google of the name suggests Ken may live near Rushden, Northants. Fwiw.
Doing any more digging somehow seems rude...

Yeah, I thought that his sentiment would ring true with many carpedians, and perhaps he's a member here. Boosh, please don't knock on his door on my account!!

And straight away the 900 rider is pigeon holed as the only gay in the village.

Hey as admin, please address these 9er phobic comments. I happen to be a straight male who wishes to identify, on occasions, as a 900 owner / rider. There should be room for all LGBT+9ER on this forum. You're all SO binary. Woke up!!

Not true, there's also a bmfw rider in the village....
