Hello from Scotland

Evening all.

My Name is Rich, I live in Scotland, I work in the bike industry and own a 2010 XT 660Z, which I love. Been biking for 15 years or so and owned quite a few different bikes and three singles, this being the third and by far and away the best.

I nearly sold it recently in a fit of madness but saw the light and kept hold of it. There are a few things I want to do to it, I just priced my Touratech wish list up at over �4k, more than the bike is worth.

Hope to get some info here from you lot.

Cheers
Rich
PS... If you need any help with tyres, it's my speciality.

Hi all, thanks for the welcomes.

I used to work in Mid Wales for Europe's largest distributor of motorbike tyres so all the manufacturers used to send us for training and tyre testing and the like so I am pretty clued up. I still keep my hand in in my new place over at Cumbernauld so it's it's all good.

Got a few questions about brakes and the like for mine.
