I have just had an email from James, both the XTR's have performed faultlessly so far. They have travelled over 16000 miles .....

Check out their trip, (Emily and James are on their honeymoon!) they have put alot of effort into this blog, and if you delve into it, and check out their gallery, you will enjoy the journey.

Absolutely wonderful!! (and inspiring)

I've been following their blog weekly since reading about them on here. What a great trip. And great to hear the bikes are running so well.

Best of luck to them.

hi guys,



haven't been on here for a while and just found this thread.

Glad to hear you've enjoyed having a look through our site. Just to let you know. we've made it to Malaysia (32,000km and counting!) and after pretty much every conceivable terrain, extremes of weather and having been dropped more than a few times (including getting poleaxed by a Turkish taxi) the XT's have yet to miss a beat - unlike pretty much every other bike we've come across!!

James (& Emily)
