Finally managed to sell the VFR in the weekend and in the same foul swoop picked myself up a 98 TL1000S. Brought her from Hamilton back down to the naki in the driving rain on Sunday night where a few home truths were learned very quickly (like blipping of throttle on downshifts and very careful use of trottle in the wet, even in a straight line). Was freezing cold and soaked to the bone by the time I got home, but even that couldn't wipe the grin off my face. Bring on summer!!!! :sunny:

Nothing special, just the old british racing green and the obligatory two brothers cans.

Ha ha, yeah mine was identical, a 98 in BRG, other than the cans, mine had Yoshi's. Damn I miss that sound.

An absolute animal of a bike, loved mine & would definately consider another one but only with an Ohlins rear.

We nick named her "Rolling Thunder" :stoogie:


Enjoy Lanky :niceone:

Looks mint. Lovely machine.... The 2 bros cans seem to like silvo for a bit of sparkle and shine.... although yours look pretty damn good!

Welcome to the clan (how the hell did i miss this) It took me a whole week to stop grinning after my first ride. First thing you need to do is upgrade your rear suspension, the rotary shock is a heavy pos and there are several options available that will improve things massively. Check out tlzone for more info and ask 98tls here at KB about his shock, I cant remember the name of it but its one of the cheaper options and at least ten times better than the stock one.

Now let the fun begin:2thumbsup
