Hi all!
I bought my -05 XTX last summer from a friend after a longer period of abstinece from bikes. When he offered to sell it to me for a very good price I couldn't resist and the relapse was a fact.
I use it for commuting to work and to play on dirt roads. I know the X isn't ideal for the job but still provides loads of fun on other surfaces than asphalt.
So far my only modifications to the bike is to replace the Pilot Road tires with MT60 Corsas. They have increased the joy on gravel by at least 50% and on asphalt as well. They stick like glue in roundabouts
and I'm less worried of a couple of grains of sand on the road.
Now when I found you I'm relly looking forward to the winter. There is so many interesting mods here that I will probably spend all the winter in the garage trying them all.
