Hey there! I�m a newbie to the forum and lovin� it! Had a bunch of bikes in the past but have been off them for a while since babies, a wife and responsibilities bled me dry. Couldn�t take it any longer so recently purchased my first ever brand spanker � a 2011 XT660R. It�s sweet and as we speak is having its front end tweaked by Paul Baerick�s MPE on the Sunshine Coast (I�m from Brisbane, Oz� Kev�s backyard! Pretty happy to have Kev as a local, although mate, I�ll try not to harass you too much!)

The bike suits me well and my riding style these days - but of course I want to trick it a bit (as far as the budget extends� so it�ll be a staged process). The forum is awesome � having a bit of trouble concentrating on work because I just want to surf the forum and absorb everything that has gone on before me. Your collective knowledge makes the Yamaha boys at the local shop seem like clueless duds by comparison. I�ve had plenty of questions for them but the answers that they couldn�t provide are right here on the forum! Anyway, that�s enough of an intro from me� Congrats and thanks for the forum!

and to

Thanks for the good words, you are one lucky Ozzy to own an XT and live near Kev. Make sure you keep him sweet

G'day mate.

Congrat's on the new bike and welcome!

We like pic's..
