hit a car a few weeks ago that crossed my way at around 40km/h. No one got hurt but poor XT is a write-off. Surprised to see the fork stanchion snapped!

Hey man. Glad ur alright and didn't get hurt.

Off topic now but what tyres have u got on ur new xt? They look like a good ds tyre that I'm looking out for.

got the new one with Pirelli RallyCross tyres. They get decent reviews but i found them too noisy and rough on the tarmac (which is what my XT sees most unfortunately) so now it has an Enduro 3 i still had on the rear and a Mitas E07 on the front.

That looks nasty! Glad you're OK and good to see you've got straight back in the saddle on a new bike.

:smilies0944: getting a speedy and fair settlement out of your insurance company.

The main thing is you are ok mate and able to keep enjoying life. Well done!!!

glad your ok but nice replacement bike

Great to see you've come through the ordeal in one piece ... and that's both body and mind.

But could that just be a 660 engine going cheap in AUS in an insurance auction ... anyone for a BIG bore project !!!
