Catteeclan

Neither did I and I've owned one. Won't another one now.

Same here, especially when it's wet. We normally aim for prem inns and the like.

Not unlike some of the west coast of Scotland.

Mine wasn't too bad when in the power band, sounds better than it really was.

Thought that might get a response.

I was gob smacked when being the tail ender for the bow off road events. Almost new machinery being used, plenty of offs but most kept going. Hat is off to you, thats a big bugga to get off the floor.

? Pookie. Hi Mod.

Think you said it started and stopped? Still think its worth draining the float bowl as the water content in ethanol fuels always ends up and the bottom of the tank and bowl. Having said that if that carb hasn't had a service in a long while best have it off and a good muck out.

Hiya. Looking forward to some pics.

Had something like that years ago. YL100. Was a bitch to keep running right.

Me too.?

You guys must keep a list.?

Hi. Using "numpty" I"m guessing you were up north in the uk?

Still fancy a bit of off road but only at my speed.

Think I remember you telling us about the Suzuki now. At least you ended up with something you have an excuse for.? Still have your old exhaust which I cut down, not on the bike anymore, think my age is liking a quieter life and now the standards are back on. Thinking the same way on my Dominator aswell, to bloody loud.

Not sure if this is good or not. Nice to see the brand survive but the build quality?

What's this green stuff you speak of? I know mice have been eating cars for the last 50 years. Cars are now better tasting??

Agree with that, although the Japan domis were better than the Italian made. Quality has gone down on all the brands.

Made in China, wouldn't have it, especially now. Got a CBF125m in the garden, made in India, absolute crap. The CG125 that sits next to it, made in Brazil is much better but neither as good as one made in Japan.

Think this is what Muddy sold the TDM for.

Me and Mandi travelled through Portugal, Spain and France last year. Didn't manage to capture the pictures you have. Great report as always. So sorry you lost your wife to be.

?

Didn't guess busboy was Bruce till the Triumph pic. Is that an old pic or the bike still looking that good?

I was led to believe the 1150 was the reliable one. Good looking bike, I much prefer that the the newer models. Never had one myself though. No pink but there's still time. Another good looking bike. Same colour as my old TDM. How you doing Bob. Nice to see a bench shot.

I did indeed. Loved it and miss it something rotten but pushing it around the garden was very tricky. I dropped mine with the daughter on the back, no real damage to anything or bike thankfully. At the end of the day the engine was a little disappointing for a 1200cc but the headlight, shaft drive and comfort was just right for me.
