Not actually got mine yet....

I pick it later this week, so am very excited! It's an XTX and I got to pick the numberplate (my first time ever).

Started riding when I was 16 and the last bike I owned before taking a loooooog break from motorcycles was a 1979 Yamaha RD400 (the one with the white tank).

Many (many) years later my cousin decided to move to Aus. so asking if I fancied his Goldwing and stupidly I said "sure, why not" So, I went from a 400cc 2 stroke to an 1800cc tank in one fell swoop! Culture shock or what.

But what it did was reignite my love of biking, so after 12mths of glorious cruising I decided to get something a little more 'flighty' - enter an XT660X.

Really looking forward to some different biking and expect to be asking lots of questions of you all.

Regards

John

...There mustn't be many people left in the motherland... more Poms in my suburb than Ozzies. I wonder why? That's okay, makes the cricket and rugby more interesting.
