Had a hairy moment getting across from Liverpool to the Wirral on a Thorn tanden. I had absolutely no idea there was no way of riding between the two without going miles and we were running late for the ferry to Ireland.
The guys on the underground took one look at it and said absolutely not, but when we split it in two they reluctantly let us on.
Would've been a pretty short tour otherwise.

A couple came in to my shop the other day and we were chatting about tandems. I said I really wanted a thorn with s&s coupling but they all went for around £2k on eBay.
They said they had a Thorn, and it had s&s couplings... I thought they were just making conversation then they said they had no use for it anymore and did I want it. Turns out it pretty much perfectly sized for me and Mrs TM and they didn’t want much for it.
Needed new timing chain and chainrings but overall great condition. Need to change bars, grips, pedals and saddles, and add a front rack, but pretty much perfect touring tandem. Buzzing.
