Nice airbrush work, your own? The TDM is much underrated I think.

yep the airbrushing is my own work, I only spray stuff for a hobby. A lot of my work is on my photos in Facebook.

The TDM is Yamaha's best kept secrect, 5 valves per cylinder loads of torque.

The only reason I changed was I wanted something newer, found a few TDM9 but thery were too far to travel in the uk.

The Tiger came into my dealer on Wednesday I rode home on it on the Friday. too much of an opertunity to leave there. 3 yr old machine with less milage than I cover in 1 yr commuting.

The Tiger handles alot better than my old machine due to it being newish

Ditto on the airbrushing, real nice!

Let me ask though, the grey frame colour on your Tiger is that standard colour?  The reason I ask is because I also have a Black Tiger and my frame is Black, mines a 2000 885i, does that make the difference?

I think I prefer the gray myself

I believe mine is a 2006 model 955i registered in March 2007,
As I working in automotive traditionally, vehiclwe manufactures make subtle changes every 2 to 3 years.
The only thing is wish the case wheels were black as they are a pain to keep clean.

Thanks guys for the appreciation of my hobby  :occasion14

The grim reaper is a hero of mine, it is a happy airbrush topic, one of the guys I know asks the same question when am I going to paint flowers, it did suggest I could paint flowers with a tombstone behind them.

I havn't painted for a while its been too hot in my studio (loft) to paint, been down the beach most evenings instead.

To be serious Monk I need an idea to paint,....... how about a monk, I could paint a monk, couldn't I....wait just getting an idea....a monks rode with no face just a skull.....

Tiny Clanger on the back of your bike  :lol:  that would be brilliant.

Just thought you could get your own lid done with a Soup Dragon design  :ImaPoser

I will have to google 'clangers' they were out in the early 70's.

I will see what I can find,

hereis my latest creation for a lad in work, we are selling the rocker cover on ebay at the moment as he is thinking of selling the Saxo, this was always an option to sell rocker cover in the future.
