I know how you feel - I'm the only TL owner I know of in my area - I've had 3friends sell their TL's in the last 12 months  . One sold his R for a 'busa; another sold his S for a quadbike cos the cop that was chasing him crashed; and though they couldn't prove it they new it was him and would've made his life hell when he rode it  . Third sold his S to buy a '97 ZX9R track bike  . So I r all on my lonesome here  .
I can still stick it to the mates who have much more modern bikes though; so it aint all bad

I like it that way. Everyone looks at your bike and wonders what the hell it is.

I live in Iowa, but on the western edge in Council Bluffs across from Omaha. Both my bikes are uncommon and as a result people are always checking out what I am riding. You see gixxers and ninjas all day long *yawn* but a TL turns heads.

I'm from Salix Iowa. Its about 60 miles up the interstate from council bluffs. Unfortunately I'm military and stationed out here in Colorado. I'll be towing my bike back this summer once I'm 100% done. So If you guys want me to hit you up we can get together for a ride.
