Hello all,
I'm the bloke who recently bought a 97 TLS from another member on this site (Daz, Snipe - very decent chap) and he kindly pointed me in the direction of you guys. I have a few questions (of course!) about the bike that I'm hoping some of you will be able to help me with but I'll post these seperately - coz I tend not to post often on these things but ramble on when I do. So in the spirit of introductions and all that here's a bit about me.
I'm old git from 'doon sowf' (Southampton) and I first got in the saddle when you didn't have to wear a lid! I ride all year round and presently own two other bikes, an old GSX600 which is my commuter/hack and VL800 Volusia (cruiser) which I use for rallys/shows throughout the season (won Best in Show, Mag Southern Region Bike Show 2004). As you can see, unlike many bikers these days I lack the style myopia that seems to have become prevelant in recent years - I like all kinds of bikes for all kinds of reasons (I also have plans for a V-max and a Royal Enfield). I suppose, if pressed, I'd have to say drag racing is what I like most (watching, that is, rather than doing these days) but, hmmmm, then again --- BTW anyone know what the standing quarter for TLS/R is? Stock and/or modded?
Anyway I better stop here, I'm starting to go on a bit again, just like to say it's great to find so many dedicated TL owners and if there is any in my vicinity, or thereabouts, it would be great to meet up some time (get in touch).
Best
