Hi all

I bought an XT660Z tenere last Friday so thought I'd join up here. I had already checked out a few posts prior to buying the bike and realised what a great resource xt660.com is.

I bought the bike mainly to ride to work and back as since moving my daily commute is now 60 miles. Fortunately that is 60 miles of twisty A and B roads and depending on what route I take can even include some green lanes. I was initially going to buy a NC700X (mega cheap to run) but the majority of people I spoke with said it's very dull. The looks and mild off road ability attracted me to the XT and I couldn't be happier with it. I would love to do some extended touring on it but having recently become a dad to twins that's not likely for a few years. The model I bought was a 2013 in blue with only 1500 miles on so hopefully it'll last me a long time and one day I'll get to do some longer trips on her.

Look forward to reading more on the site and hopefully may be able to contribute a bit to.

Cheers all :-)

Forgot about a picture, will get and post one asap.
