New Boy In France

WELL THAT TOOK TWO NIGHTS OF TRYING !!!!!

Finally found the way in by means of the compatabilaty box thing !!!

Anyway here i am , i've lived in SW France for 9 years now done two runs down to Maroc on my faithful DR650

But for years now wanted to do a long trip , whittled it down to the West Coast of Africa and wanted a bike to do it on , my DR would do it but fancied something newer !!!!!!

The XTZ seemed to fit the bill so bought a 2010 with 13K kms and will be kitting her out over the next 15 months and asking LOADS of QUESTIONS

Cheers Phil

Exciting times lay ahead for you, and I suggest you read the whole technical Tenere sections as well as the travelog sections, so that you see what people have experienced in their long distance trips with the bike, that way you can taylor your kit before you set off.

If you need any trick parts such as DNA filters of MTC 2 into 1 exhausts ask me first as we have sponsored discounts with these 2 companies as well as DynoJet power commanders etc.

p.s.: becoming an XT Supporter will give you access to areas not available to "voyers" and also you will be able to obtain one to one assistance from our in-house tech guru Kev.
