The MotoLady 1992 Yamaha TDM 850, 41k mile having strong runner now for sale- $2,200. Help me finish my Monster Project… share this post (or buy the bike)! Sorry for the shameless promotion. ;)  DID YOU KNOW- The TDM was only imported into America for 2 yrs? A few other details: New chain installed and good replacement rear tire on hand, have all the fairings (removed in this photo) and the entire bike is in decent shaped. It has been dropped more than once, very minor damage (see small scrape on engine cover near my left foot.) Speedo needs replacement (broken needle) but that’s about all that’s wrong with it.

I Dropped My Bike Today

I feel like that title could be the first lyrics to a bluesy motorcycle song. Oh I dropped my bike today, heard it hit the ground and it’s just not okayyyyyy….

Yes, ladies and gentlemen… I dropped my motorcycle. Now, it’s not the first time to be honest. As a fresh new rider in the first month I got the Yamaha Maxim I dropped it in my driveway. It was embarrassing and daunting, but being so new I learned to let it go.

Rode the 40k-mile-having Yamaha-bubble-mobile to Stepping Stone Cafe for some better-than-most-but-still-greasy-diner food for lunch! It is SO good to be back on two wheels.
