Another joiner from S Africa
 

Hi guys, I've been following this forum for a few months now, but just need to say Hallo. There is a wealth of info here and the people and moderators are very nice and helpful.
I'm not so young anymore and have been biking since school, mostly street scramblers up to 250. About 8 years ago I got a F650 Dakar, and upgraded to a F800GS two years ago. Lately I've been toying with the idea of going back to a thumper and after studying the 660, I just got that feeling that I want one.
So I sold the 800 BMW and got a very nice blue 2014 XT660Z with Scorpion pipes, duel purpose tyres, pegs, handguards, heated grips, headlight protector and SW Motech crash bars. It's been tail tidied and I've fitted my Trax top box onto the Trax plate it came with (for urban use).
Thanks for all the info and good camaraderie on this forum :001:
