    I've just spent four hours hurling 50 cal rounds down range. My head is ringing and I'm shattered. Anyway, not quite having had enough of all that excessive noise I finally decided to dropped a few bucks on a shiney Yoshi for my XT. It'll be here tomorrow .... soooo excited .... it'll assuage...

    Been a bad boy? ... me too ... got caught with another right goer

    As an ex 2010 FJR owner I felt the need to give the 2013 bike another tug now that it's fully run in. Oh man I miss that creamy turbine howl of a 1300 IL4 on full chat ::) This thing is freakin awesome and then some! Ride is way better than before and the motor is sorted. I had to get off and...

    MOT test

    Hmmm ... my XT is now 3 years old and as I'm currently stationed in the UK my bike has to undergo a specific certification process. It isn't a big deal as far as I understand it and it'll happen on Saturday ... should be interesting.

    Forums ... who needs em?

    Well I do for one. I find the whole concept of forums to be the ultimate in communications. I was out this afternoon working on my 675 when I noticed a rubber tube fitting laying on the gravel .... sh*t what the hell is that ... where's it come from. It took a minute to take the photo another...

    I can't tell you how nice it is to be back. Long haul this time and tainted by real sadness. Anyway, we're not going to dwell on that cos that ain't what we do ..... RIGHT! First things first. Following in the age old Swagger tradition I get back from a tour and buy a bike. No change there...

    Powerbronze screen

    This powerbronze crew seem like they knock some stuff out. Has anyone on here got or used one of their screens on the XT? They have a 550mm tall one that has a similar shape/profile to the OEM but is 120mm taller. I like the smoked tint. I'm off to Belgium in a couple of weeks and they reckon...

    I realise that at least one of our splendid vendors has 'ADV Motorrad' is marketing these back home in the US. Thank you for that. For those in Europe and the UK you can go directly to the source and buy. The shipping will probably be less expensive but do check. Cost me 18 Euros to have...
