Hello from Holland/Belgium
Hello,
I am Arjen, 42 years young, and live partly in The Netherlands and partly in Belgium. Since 2009 I ride a blue XT660Z. I have my driving license since 24 years and I started of with a 90cc Derbi FDS as my first "motorcycle". After the Derbi I have owned a Honda CR250 supermotard, a Yamaha TDR250, a Cagiva River 600cc, a Cagiva Mito 125 and a Honda NS400R. Because my girlfriend and I started to go on holiday by motorbike I wanted a kind of mixture between the TDR and the Cagiva River. So I bought the Tenere. It's not the only bike in our garage because my girlfriend owns a 2011 XJ6FA, a RD350F2 and a 1991 XTZ660. What mods did I make: - Yamaha sidecases and topcase with Kriega bags on top. - Hyperpro front/rear springs - Lowered the bike by 3cm and fitted a Yamaha side and mainstand from the Tenere with ABS. - Touratech 12v power plug, engine guard, upper and lower roll bars, frame protection, chain cover and lower seat. - Metal Mule rear brake caliper cover and side stand switch cover. - PU rear drive rubbers - Foglights (a mixture between SW Motech, Touratech and some light I bought on the internet). - Smoke lenses for the indicators. - Oxford heated grips. - Powercommander and Stage 2/3 DNA airfilter. Besides that I drilled out the cat. - Mappy GPS system - Off-The-Road higher windscreen. - Smoto radiator guard. Meanwhile I have visited France, Switzerland, Italy, Czech republic, Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Iceland with the Tenere.
