What do you need to know oily?

XT's are fantastic for touring, just make sure you're fully prepped & the bike is running sweet & you'll be laughing

I've got a thread floating around somewhere of me the Mrs doing a three week stint over Turkey.

I've only been able to try it once as winter is nasty here & the road condtions are pants. I found it a treat though. It was nice having something to lean my back (more like me bum) on. Looking forward to see how the lady finds it, cos her rear end is a lot more sensitive than mine lol!
