Hi everyone! I'm Peter and just bought a year old S10 in Midnight Black - fantastic bike. Now need to turn it into a fully capable, go-anywhere overland bike ready for 2-up trip to Mongolia. Hope this site will help!

Hi Peter and ::004:: from Down Under.

This place is full of great folk, as they say the the US of A, and lot's of good info.

The best advice I can give you is watch some MCN UK Adventure test videos and do the opposite that they do ::024:: :D

Cheers
Graham

Hi from near Oxford.

I will be out your way to get my suspension sorted at MCT in Stowmarket in a few weeks, that would be one of the things I would advise, getting a better rear shock, they aren't too bad, but aren't brilliant either, especially two up.

I will be the second tenere through the doors:-

You can get some free low down grunt with 2 minutes work

I have kitted mine out with SW-Motech luggage, not got to try it out properly yet, but it looks pretty decent

This may be just what your after...

Greetings,

I was in Suffolk today on my black S10 for a great ride. Would be good to meet up.

Take a ride to see Cliff at www.adventurebikeshop.co.uk as he and hid lovely wife Jenny have done overlanding, have great coffee and sell loads of bits for our bikes.

See you soon.

Matt
