Brilliant.

One thought though. What we could do with is a site with truly rubbish roads going to truly wild places. Lets face it, the XTZ is not designed as a knee scraper. Maybe we could work on it but this and the German site are good places to borrow data from.

Thanks XT660Zrider. good find.

Capt,

Do you know if it is possible on this site to set up some sort of data bank like the one XT660Zrider pointed out and legally borrow their data (or links perhaps) ???

I mean this as opposed to a long list of photos/reports - if you know what i mean.

OGR, not quite sure what you mean?

vBulletin as far I am aware doesn't have any fetured users databases for people to set up and maintain, unless a clever clog here is able to write a DB that we can upload to our website I have no idea otherwise how to do this.

Thanks Capt,

It was a long shot anyway.
I am certainly not clever enough to design something. Maybe I'll collate something and try to post it. I'll have to think about it.
It will be a labour of love so It won't happen anytime soon.

Cheers Ray

John,

My mother was a Scot (RIP) and used to take us as kids to Motherwell every year, in fact I was beaten up for being a foreigner there once, my wife is a Scot and we used to have several cairn terriers.
I was doing very well with the translation till I got to Mabozzar.........What on earth does that mean ???

Don't suppose you used to beat up English kids did you ??? Just a thought, I am 52.

Nowt wrong with being 52, we've obviously seen sense and got the right bike for our age!

only just found this thread - absolutely brilliant Ray, well done and thanks for sharing, you've given me a good few ideas

Your welcome. Hope you have as much fun with yours as I do with mine.
