Many thanks for all that you have achieved and time spent with many long hours keeping the forum together. I for one had an incredible time since 2008 reading and participating n the forum posts and made many friends some of which I still communicate with even though I am not an active member now.

I am still very proud that my post from 2008 in the Technical section is the third most viewed post I started on the 2008 model issue regarding the oil breather drain pipe filling with oil due to high speed road cruising until they did the modification on the 2009 model with a revised oil tank that the breather pipe runs into. The views are approximately 18 thousand!

Many happy memories and people over the years! Sad but all good things come to an end. My best regards to all in the future and time to look forward to the next generation XT the Tenere 700 that I ordered and hope to take delivery in September. May the XT live on forever!

thanks Mark Stride "Stridey"
