This thing is dangerously heavy and tall though. Nearly dropped it at an upward inclined junction with a massive dive off to the gutter. Did myself a mischief trying to hold it. Did it though .... thank feck.
First ride of 2011
First ride of 2011
Took me XT for a wee trundle this afternoon. Jeez what an awsome bike this thing is. I never thought I'd take to adventure bikes but I've been well and truly sucked in now. My missus ran rear gunner for me in her Land Rover whilst I faffed about down some of the cinder trails. Brilliant.

Re: First ride of 2011
well, as usual, a few said said they'd be out but ended up just me & a mate on his superduke.
went into wales but didnt get as far as bala as we noticed bits of ice on the roads (& my fingertips lol) so headed back where it was a bit warmer.
good 130 mile ride tho
that's the zxr off H3r3t1c - goes really well, storm is in bits atm for refresh & respray
