That's a desolate looking landscape. Scenery and machine incongruity!

The TZR were a great bike and a great engine. I loved the TDR too. 8-)

I've had three TDRs, still got one, it's been halfway around the world with me.
Keep it,they are bastard expensive and not easy to find now. I passed on one a few years ago because the seller wouldn't take less than a grand.

I shit the bed on that deal for sure. :roll:

Missing that road this year. Should have been over last Sunday and going home this Sunday. Digs booked in Ballycastle for the NW200. First time in 20 years I've not been over. And also for the Ulster and Armoy too. Gutted.

That road is awesome though. stopped in there for a smoke a few times. :thumbup:

It would have been dry for the NW this year too! Sod's law.

The road races trend to run pretty much hand to mouth for funding,so all this bollix won't help them for sure. Nimbys and funding have been the death of quite a few old meetings.

One horse power but the torque is brilliant. High level exhaust, environmentally fueled and you get to look down on the GS rifraf.

Emissions are horrendous though.
