before



after





hit a car a few weeks ago that crossed my way at around 40km/h. No one got hurt but poor XT is a write-off. Surprised to see the fork stanchion snapped!





Still waiting for the money from the insurance but liked it so much that i got me another one Let's hope it lasts a bit longer...

Hey man. Glad ur alright and didn't get hurt.

Off topic now but what tyres have u got on ur new xt? They look like a good ds tyre that I'm looking out for.

got the new one with Pirelli RallyCross tyres. They get decent reviews but i found them too noisy and rough on the tarmac (which is what my XT sees most unfortunately) so now it has an Enduro 3 i still had on the rear and a Mitas E07 on the front.

That looks nasty! Glad you're OK and good to see you've got straight back in the saddle on a new bike.

getting a speedy and fair settlement out of your insurance company.
