Thought id start off the picture thread for this year with this.......



I survived the weekend with no issues and picked up a screw in the rear tyre leaving the campsite lol

Scott and I ended up changing the puncture at the garrage just down the road from camp.

Doh

XT660z......What a machine!!

Current mods:- Yamaha top box, Yamaha hanguards, Heated grips, High front fender, Aux lighting front/rear.

T'was a great, if a tad soggy, weekend. Having just got back myself (what can I say � Five Year Old Birthday Parties can REALLY kick off these days) after 910 miles round trip I can honestly say that I now need a break.

For some unfathomable reason it looks like I only managed a sum total of five pictures for the whole weekend and they're far from the awesome skills of Keith but hope they tickle you as much as they did me.











Thanks everyone for making the trip worth every arse bursting mile and an extra special thanks to the loons/geniuses (delete as appropriate) that planned the whole event.
