Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

I,ve been thinking of having a change for some time, although what to get has always been difficult.
I really liked the Shiver when they came out and even had a test ride. I couldnt justify the cost so put it on hold. I spotted one last week which was a 2008 cat c with mostly cosmetic damage for £1995, which i could just afford. I went to see it on friday and bought it for £1850. I am over the moon!
I now need to sell the TRX to pay for the bits, difficult decision but i dont need 2 bikes.
Its posted up in the for sale section and was TRX of the month in April last year.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the TRX and i know i will miss it.
Thanks to you all for the friendship help and advice over the years. I dont intend ducking out of the forum and may turn up to meets on the new bike.
Dave

Sad to see you selling

Good!

Bugger ... that means I'm in danger of becoming the oldest one left here now
(... but I reckon you'll be back before long !)

I thought you already were!!!
I may well be back. Never say never, but for the time being the shiver needs fixing.
I wouldnt mind building a track only special trx but i felt mine is a bit too good for that.
Dave

Name of the bikes apt for the weather! I reckon you will be back into the fold soon though.

Dave E

Yeah , I reckon you're right Dave.
A lot of TRX riders don't get out much thro' the winter and have time to ponder on how much they really 'need' the TRX.
Come the spring and the first dry day on twisty country roads and all thoughts of selling up disappear
( 'course those silly sods who actually sold their TRX will spend the rest of the year kicking themselves as they hunt for another one) ...

Graham, I'll let you know if you are right or not when i get the sgiver on the road. Went out and ordered most of the bits today, and took the new tank cover in to get it sprayed.
Its certainly screwed rogether better than the TRX, like when you take the tank off the main supply pipe has a quick connector.
All the best.
Dave
P S the TRX went today

As long as it went to a good home ... ?
I trust you pointed the new owner in this general direction so we can offer him/her constructive advice &/or talk complete bo**ocks
Hope you'll stick around and maybe meet up again at Foxes or somewhere ??
(Just remembered ... didn't you used to be Hector? and how many years is it since we met up at Mc.D's on the A41with Earywig and ??? )
Cheers
Graham

It went to a members son, Daniel who is son of Mark who is "Sandune51"
I shall reamian here as i will always be a TRX'er at heart.

Sold your boat, sold your TRX, Only bits left is your soul!!! (Are you changing your user name again?).

Dave E

I'll change my user name when i change my hair colour!

PS i got another boat now, i have just finished fitting it out. I did everything except the steel shell.

You've obviously got far too much time on your hands lol!

Dave E
