Sweet. Whole lotta bike you got there man, enjoy.

And try not to die on it. Your best bet for achieving that will be to learn to ride it properly, in a safe environment (http://www.motott.co.nz/).

And, welcome to the forum.

Enjoy,check out TLZONE.NET sometime,great bunch of guys.Had mine for many years and dont see it moving on anytime in the future.Dont pay much attention to the bullshit usually spouted by those that wouldnt have a clue,it didnt get IBOTY for nothing,if it hasnt already been bin the rotary damper and sort the forks,same would apply to anything as old as a TL,Robert Taylor would be the go if you want to spend some dosh.the motor is as strong as an ox and on the roads that matter if your good enough you will still be annoyingly close to anything.They have some annoying habits ie stumbles at low revs etc but easily sorted,as i said TLZONE is full of useful info or sing out and will help if i can,ive spent a lot of time mucking around with my old girl and it still gets along pretty well.

Oh mate, you just bought yourself a big pile of trouble!

Although the engine is pretty notorious, but hey at least it's fun right?
