Tim I live in Bideford, North Devon which isn't too far away from you if you are near Okehampton. It would be good to meet a fellow S10 enthusiast sometime. PM me and we can try and arrange a meet sometime Big Tim

Welcome Steve from another Blue beast owner based in Devon Tim

Matt Typical I lived in Essex for 20 years before moving down to Devon with work. Have a great day out test riding, the Stelvio looks pretty good, I was giving it a good once over at the NEC in November together with the new Triumph 1200 and the new Ducati Multistrada aswell. Adventure bikes...

Hi Matt welcome from me in North Devon. Where abouts in the country are you based? My local dealers were brilliant with me when I wanted a test ride, I disappeared off for 3 hours or more and when I got back he was surprised I was back so quickly. My bike is currently totally standard and is...

Finally a thread I can comment on. I'm kind of a big guy with a big butt and I found the saddle just starting to get a bit noticeable after about 2 hours, I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but i was aware it wasn't exactly right for me at that point in time. Stopping for a smoke break made a...

(I'll have to get a test ride on a XT1200z as I believe the seat on the lowest setting is similar to the bike I normally ride.) The split saddle takes a bit of getting used to, even though your bit is set low the passengers bit is still quite high and you need to get your foot high enough to...

WE wouldn't want to corrupt anyone. I'd better behave myself as my wife reckons I've corrupted her LOL.(but that's another story) Talking about picking the new S10 up, if you can pick up an XTZ750 then the XT1200Z is so much easier because the C of G is so much lower, it was demonstrated to...

Hiya Kymmy I see you've followed me across to here. Should we enlighten Colorider or let him figure it out for himself.. Tim

My favourite is Newcastle Brown Ale and I've educated my american friend, we even found it for sale in one of his local bars although they apologised because they only had the big bottles (1 pint) instead of the more usual (1/2 pint). I'm quite partial to Labatts blue and Honey Brown of your...

Limey I know Bowmanville I've driven past it on the 401. I know Ontario pretty well as I worked for Nortel for 15 years and used to spend a lot of time in Ottawa but used to travel to various sites near to Toronto like Mississauga and Belleville after Nortel I worked for Raytheon for 5 years...

I forgot there were certain words we use over here which have a totally different meaning with you guys over the water, I should have remembered as I have a very good friend in Indiana who reminds me often enough about my English expressions. We are obviously 2 great nations divided by a common...

Thanks for the greetings everyone. Dave We haven't met but because of Carpe I feel like I know you anyway. I sold my TDM 850 last year and kept my XTZ because they are slightly rarer and I don't like to ride bikes that everyone and their mother rides (like a 1200GSA) and because it's...

Understood, it probably gets a wee bit chilly up there after September, spent many weeks in Canada (mostly Ontario) on business and have been there both summer and winter and know just how cold it gets in winter. Makes me shiver just thinking about the windchill. The plus points are Stunning...

Hi Rem, It's kind of complicated, I lost my mum recently and am waiting for the dreaded tax man (IRS) to declare probate at which point in time they release my inheritance. it could be 3 weeks it could be 6 weeks who knows, hopefully it will be soon as my local dealer has 2 first editions (one...

Hi, I'm Tim and I live in the UK and have been an S10 fan since watching Stephane Peterhansel stuff everyone silly in the Paris/Dakar. I currently own and ride daily a 1990 XTZ750 and have recently had the good fortune to test ride the new S10 and will be buying one in the very near future. I'm...
