Hi All

I'm new to this site and have had my TA a year now.
Got my license only 2 months ago but has already done 2200km.
My bike is a black-silver -97 Trans Alp with Honda original Hepco-Becker panniers,
It has done about 42500km now.

Since I bought it I have changed springs in the fork to Wilbers
progressive ones and now I'm not scared when I'm braking anymore.
I've mounted a small Givi top box (helmet size), MRA adjustable windscreen
and I use an Airhawk cushion to help with the pain in my :pottytrain2:.

Next year there will be new tires as the old ones are almost gone.

Welcome to the site, you've done loads of miles as a new rider, well done and it sounds like you've done a fair bit to your bike too.

Hope you enjoy it here, keep posting the pictures of where you take your bike :thumbup:

Hello and welcome to the forum and TA.
I came back to biking last year after a spell on four wheels and wish I had never strayed from the bike world in the first place.

Hello and welcome to the madhouse that is XRV.ORG.UK.

Fine choice of bike and glad the you are enjoying it. If you need advice on tyres, there seems to be a never ending discussion on them here. ;)
