The Return

Just dropping by to say 'hi' again, after a year or so of inactivity on the forum and after selling my XT660Z Tenere (and quickly regretting it). Will once again soon be a paid-up member and looking forward to more activity in this great community.

Since selling the Ten, I've flirted with a whole range of bikes, seeking that elusive 'best fit' for my needs. Over the last 18 months, this has included ownership of KTM950ADV, Blade, R1100RT, Versys x 3, Tuono R, Fzs1000 Fazer, XJR1300 and KTM690SM! (fortunately, being part year in Germany I can sell them on). None of them, with the possible exception of the 950ADV, have been comfortable enough for me - I'm getting on and suffer from aching knee and hip joints (arse is fine) so need as full a leg extension as I can get.

Long story short, it dawned on me that of all the bikes I'd had, the Ten was best by far in that respect (seems to be confirmed by that site on bike ergos). So I've put a deposit on a replacement Ten - coincidentally, another white 08 - and I'm so much looking forward to picking it up from Aberdeen and riding it over to the Mosel. Considered another 950ADV, but current escalating price of fuel and mpg, together with KTM 'faff' and bulk, steered me back to the Ten.

So hi again to all, hope to see some of you on the road.
