Just thought I'd make an official introduction here:



I live am from Newfoundland (AKA The Rock), Canada . I bought a 1997 TW with 12,000 kms on it, for the daughter back in early July. But it seems that I am putting more Km's on it than her.

I must say, it is a fun little bike for beating about on the trails. Plus I love being able to actually stand "over" a bike for a change. My other rides consist of a 1996 KLR650 and a 2007 KLX250.



Lots of good info here. Only work I did to it so far was to install taper bearing kit for the stem bearing. I was about to replace with original, but luckily,after finding info on this site I went with the All-ballz kit.Thanks to whoever it concerned.

Anyways, a few pics:

Cheers,

Relic.

Welcome fellow Maritimer.I also purchased a TW late last year and although I have put more miles on my V-Strom this summer I have definitely spent more time on the TW.The little beast is just so much fun.

I also frequent RTR as NSS.How is the brew coming along? I hope to get over to NFLD next summer.Sure would like to try one of the Iceberg brews.In fact my brother-in -law just got a TW a couple weeks ago and we were thinking of doing the Trans Lab on them for shits and giggles.

Definitely a fun little bike. Always getting asked questions on it by passers-by. Lot of people around my way haven't ever seen one like it.



Iceberg Amber homebrew is absolutely delicious..... I can put a couple away for ya, but I dunno if I can guarantee there existance once I run out!

Trans-lab trip on these bikes would be awesome I think. Make ya slow down and enjoy it instead of rushing thru just to say you did it.

You simply MUST find one for you now.

Nah.... she's nice enough to let me ride whenever I want. Especially when she's not around.



I'm enjoying it way more. To be expected I guess. Don't see me parting with it.....unless it's for a newer model. Front disc brakes would be nice.
