South coast newbie
 

Hi all. Just bought my first bike after using one of my fathers for the past few years.
It was always going to happen sometime! 2009 660 with 7k on the clock. LOVE it. Any one around the Dorset / Hampshire area? Looking for people or similar age (if there are any) :) to ride with. Would like to try some green lanes!!!

Cheers
p.s Im 26, though age isn't all and everything I suppose!"

:006: Welcome on board mate.

Age doesn't matter here! ;)

There are a god few folk from down your way on the forum - I'm sure a few will identify themselves soon.

BTW - You don't say which or the three XT models you bought - X, R or Z?

Welcome to this wonderful forum!

Ride safe!

Hello of course age doesnt matter if you can deal with irritating youngsters like myself :) I have the 660z. Been riding my dads xr400 untill now. nice to have the freedom of my own bike! Would be great to meet some like minded people with fantastic bikes!!

:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

We're hoping to have a big XT660.com 10th anniversary gathering at the ACE Cafe in May 2016.

Welcome to the forum. ..enjoy your bike!. You get the odd Xt660z (inc me!) at Loomies bike cafe on the A272 in Hampshire of a weekend. Steve

great. Maybe Give me a shout sometime Il head over that way and see what's going on!

Hi, I'm planning to go to Loomies next Sunday 6th Sept at 9am. Sadly away this weekend but it looks quite wet. Anyone welcome to meet up for a chin wag and a bit of a ride afterwards.

Would be good if we can do more than 2 next weekend. This was the beginning of the year at Loomies. Thats great escape hiding behind his brand new XTZ.

Il try to make a 3rd! Will be an early start but weather dependant Id like to get over there. Il confirm later in the week!

Great. Just like you I also ride for fun and don't venture out in driving rain. Although thats exactly what I did last Sunday between Winchester and Newbury. Not fun.
'Greatescape', how about you show us those chalky hills you ride and can you persuade that white XTZ to come too. I'd love to see the sea again, unlike you lucky guys, who live right next to it.

Earlier this year at H cafe (near Oxford) we managed to get 6 XTs together in such a Sunday morning meet. So lets see if Loomies can be something similar.
