Yami is on a distinguished road
No we did not take the road to Lake Idro. Maybe next time, so many roads to choose.
We saw mostly German and Dutch bikes on our trip if you don�t count the locals for the country
your�e in for the moment.

I don�t know the height of the 900 forks but the ten�s is around 870-880 mm.
It�s more common the other way around, "sportisize" the TDM�s putting shorter fork legs and so on
onto them to get them a more sportish look and behaviour.

I guess Yamaha wanna get into the segment off 900-1000cc offroaders now when there�s rumours
about a new Africa twin, the CRF1000, it looks awesome. I really hope that becomes reality.

I�ve been thinking of building a 900Z for some years now and wont wait for Yamaha to get one out.
I gave myself a promise this year to get the TDM. After that I�m not really sure what direction
the project takes. I got a XTZ750 frame which others have used and probably is that the direction
I�m gonna take. Some more investigation is needed though if something else could work better.

Living rather close to Norway (around 300 km from the border) and is almost ashamed not been
there on a bike.
