Hi,

I am Andre from the Netherlands and i am a happy owner of a XT660 build 2010. I have done some traveling in the past with a R1200GS, but since i have used a light weight Off-road machine during a Kenya-Tanzania Motor safari, I had a wish for a light weight travel bike.
I have to do some work on the bike, like a bigger tank and better footsteps, and i hope to find a lot of information and tips on this forum.

I have travelled in 22 countries, and you can see most off the pictures at www.myadventures.eu
This weblog is in Dutch language, but you can see a lot of pictures

Hi Andre and welcome on board, hope you enjoy the XT660, which model is it, and we want to see some photos please!!!! And this site is a real gold mine of useful information for the XT bikes, have fun!!
