Hi, sorry for my bad English! ::)
After three years with an GSA, I decided change it for the S10 because I use this bikes mostly on adventure travels and on dirt. Next April we are going to trip around Sardinia mostly off road (www.transiberica.info). This is going to be the real test!
I bought the Yamaha three weeks ago and here are some photos with all the Touratech parts. I’m very pleased with this bike.
Now I’m looking for a new exhaust (I don’t like the OEM) and perhaps later I change the wheels to 21”and 18” to improve its off road capability. We’ll see… ;)







As you can see i this photo I tested properly the crash bars... :-[ ;D

Thanks to all!

I made the tank pads and are only provisional. With the Yamaha dealer from my town we are making some stickers who really protect the tank. When they are finished I’ll show you.

I also made a protection for the OEM luggage space to avoid scratches, this is also hand made and we are making some proper ones.

JamieV- I was in Barcelona last Nov-Dec. I swear I saw your Montessa parked near the Avis on Corcega.

i was not riding in Spain, sadly. I will be back though, with a bike.

You have a wonderful country.

Don't think it was my Impala. I live in Barcelona province but 70km north, near the Pirineos. But if you come with the bike I can prepare to you a nice ride in the mountains.
You can choose amazing dirt tracks or little roads to climb in the mythics “cols du Tour de France”… ;)

I am from Illinois, USA. I rode Bultacos back in the 1970's and early 1980's and had to give it up due to an injury. I got back into vintage restorations and racing in the late 1990's and continue to this day.

Here is a photoshow of some of my Bultacos and some of my adventures:

here you have another animal to write in english.
May be is not so proper to me say "welcome" because I´m a newbie, but here I am to share experience and learn something about our bikes.
Of course i know how to write in spanish, but I think is not proper in a foreing forum to use another language that the original (for respect)
Welcome from Tierra del Fuego
