TDM or TRX?!

[kermit]

I'm a newbie and just restored (well, Mr Spanners did most of the work), what turns out to be a TRX-engined TDM.
Do I belong here or on some TDM Enthusiast Forum?!
....Calls of "Cast him out - unclean, unclean!!!"

hahaha we'll let you stay welcome

There is a TDM forum that you might find useful too (quite a few of us lot pop in there too) .. www.carpe-tdm.net

Well, you've got the correct engine ... now you just need to change the rolling chassis

As long as you don`t invite that mad pig on here Kermit you`ll be fine by me.

Where in the world are you kermit. I had one of the few TRX engined TDMs until 2006 - it was "S" reg and silver/black

[kermit]

Nice one!
I think the chassis is '95 but the engine is deffo '96.
Was originally in the Yellow and Silver vein but I've fished around for so much of the plastic it's all going to get a blast of Matt Black, apart from the tank. I'll post a couple of pics in the right place once she's proper ready!
Got to say that I've fallen completely in love - and she aint even pink with trotters!
I'm based in Herts for now, just north of Watford but looking like I may be back in Norf Lahndan before long....

Thanks for the welcome, folks!

Maybe you can answer this one Kermit, what`s green, hard, and smells of pork?

[kermit]

Well, none of my bodyparts Mr Mincehead....
Maybe something off ya barbecue - I've seen what you do to meat up there?!

[Mincehead]

Mouldy crackling of course, whatever were you thinking of you naughty frog!

[kermit]

Like it!

I too had a TDM mk2 850 with a TRX engine fitted..........



Unfortunately i got knocked off by a cage driver and it was deemed a write-off but every cloud has a silver lining as i got a good payout AND got the salvage bike back for FREE

I broke and sold most of it on Carpe-tdm but kept the motor and wheels for myself (Brand new Pilot road 2's had only done 100 miles)

I now have a spare TRX engine for my 97 TRX which i am using to get into trackdays (did my 3rd trackday at Mallory last friday)




Please note: i will not be selling the engine unless i ever get rid of the TRX

Thats it! Thought I'd taken the bluespots off before I p/x it for my present 900.............................

That was a good bike - the high 1st was just brill for romping up Alpine passes,
