(April 2005) Almost a year to the day I first tried one, I handed over a large wad to Paul at the Bike Shop in Faversham. A week later, I rode out of the shop on this fella. 106 BHP, 160+ MPH of screaming (red line? That'll be 15,500 RPM) lunacy.

Being the (temporarily) flush/flash guy (delete as applicable) that I am at the moment, I couldn't bring myself to part with the TDM. Going from one bike to the other takes some getting used to, mind.
