Hey All. I have taken the plunge and bought a 2004 TBA. I didn't get the dealer down as much as I wanted but I'm very excited. Now I have this bike, but no license until I take the Basic Riders Safety Course the last weekend in April. So I guess I just have to sit a stare at it until then. I wanted to thank everybody from this website who offered me advice about about the TBA. This website and it's members are the sole reason that I purchased the TBA. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Wow, you actually bought one of these horrible bikes. What a big mistake!  Congrats on the bike. You are going to love her, and by the way, even after you have 10,000 miles on her you'll still find yourself sitting in the garage staring at her. She is quite a lady.... 
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

Ohhhhh dear you listened to these guys  be careful be very careful. You will be led astray with talk of shiny bits, fancy little mods and god alone only knows what else. Get the test done get on the road and do ride it like you stole it thats when these bikes come into there own. Best of luck.
