Hello Everyone,
Just joined and thought I'd better say hello. I'm an exiled Manxman living in Derbyshire (great roads, but not as good as 'home')
I've had my 2011 660 Ten for 2 months now which is my first bike. It's a white one with no mods, except for 30mm lowering links (bit of a short arse) and heated grips.
First job is handguards and some luggage. I'm off to the NEC tomorrow to see if I can pick up a bargain.

Loving the bike so far and hope to 'meet' many of you soon!

Welcome on board mate!

Welcome to the funny farm Plaicey

I went to the bike show on Saturday and was very disappointed with lack of Adventure bike "stuff". Even off road gear was limited.

I did like the CCM GP450 though and the lovely young lady on the stand was very knowledgeable....almost forgot about the bike!!

Welcome on board!!!
