Sorry I've been absent so long, but here's the thing. In short, had a few years off biking with a dodgy hip, fixed that, fixed the TDM, got it back on the road last year, lovely.
Then I made the decision that I could afford to take early retirement earlier this year, and with a not bad lump sum - that's mostly apportioned to house things, but there was a bit left to treat myself to a new bike. Since I first saw them I've wanted one of these. I'm quite shallow, and I must admit I fell in love with the looks, but then that's the same reason I have a 4TX. Luckily they both go as well as they look, and to be fair it's probably more bike than I need (my username isn't ironic), . Trevini will tell you it's got annoyingly loud exhausts but I really do love it.
TDM is still here too while I decide what to do. I can't justify having two bikes so will probably move it on, but after 22 years it'll be a wrench.
