My new bike is a 1999 TDM 850 Don't have a piccy yet but very similar to this http://www.tdmitalia.net/lemoto/colorazioni/tdm1999-1.jpg Came with full givi wing rack, top box, lower fairing, nexxus stainless exhausts and Scot oiler. Would have kept the 2 bikes one for local one for distance, but fin...

Hi to all on the VTR forum, After much debating and with a sad heart I have parted with my lovely Red VTR. :oops: Part ex-ed for a another bike on Saturday. I travel a fair distance on my bike and could no longer take any more discomfort. (Mainly a numb right hand after about the first 25 miles!). I...

I tried my brothers CB600F at the weekend an old 1997 model it felt really weird kind of light and buzzy. It was deceptively fast though. At least on the Storm you feel that low down grunt. I have rode my girlfriends TDM 900 a few times, but the high handlebar position takes some getting used to. I ...

I should have done that in hindsite Rich, but when it happens in a split second and the butt end is tryin to throw you off like a wildcat :lol: Its due to inexperiance too, only been ridin for best part of a year. Still got a lot to learn. Nearly learned the hard way though :roll: :lol: Chris

Yep or possibly a less heavier foot, have to take the lead out of my left boot Mellis

Not Bridgestone Kaz, but the sure saved my ass. Got a nice patch of worn rubber though!

Yes you guessed I did something stupid, Had the nearest escape from coming off my bike today 8O Was on the Southport coast road and was doing about 60 coming up to some traffic and decided to slow down, accidently knocked right through the gears and probably into second and let the clutch out :roll:...

Was at the Scotch Piper Maghull last night spotted an nice orange storm and a red half storm half Blade custom jobby

My partner is seriously thinking about setting up a Motorcycle courier service in the North West. After researching a bit it seems that there is little competition up in our region, but plenty down south. Has anyone heard of success or failure of courier services up North? Any info at all would be u...

Do you think it would make a lot of difference Kitch? Do you mean handlebar risers. Do you know anyone on the forum thats had it done?

Hi Tiptoes,

Welcome aboard

Yep the storm is an impressive bike, I love the engine braking and when you need to accelerate out of harms way, its like sh*t off a shovel.

Enjoy

Sounds like a nice buy Marty, What is she like comfort wise?, I love my storm but after a 200+ mile Journey feel like Ive had the sh*t kicked out of me. (must be gettin old!) :lol: Actually my first choice of bike was a Kwak zx6 R they had in Hunts of Manchester, just didn't have the readys at the t...

Happy Birthday bud,

Hope you have a great day

Possibly, cans were very fruity and loud turned everyones heads outside the cafe at Hawes
