Good work.... that's a quick decision :) I approve of logic like this.

Well done. I bought mine 37000km ago on a whim and never looked back. This forum is full of good info and nice people willing to share and help.

Enjoy and keep safe on the road :-).

Welcome and congratulations the new bike! I much prefer that shape of side panel to the big triangle on my XTR. I've been contemplating modifying mine but I think the exposed expansion tank would probably look worse. Looks like only the X had that treatment from 2008?

I still love my bikes and think it was hitting that Nissan that nearly killed me. Not my love of being on a bike in the warm weather so I'm still into my bikes. Having additional metal parts in my bones means the newer style sports bike are a no go but I've still got a '93 GSXr1100WP. She was going to be sold to make room for the XT but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Now I've got...."a few" bikes.(5) MY wife says you can't ride several bikes with only one arse! but my reply of "you can't wear several pairs of shoes with only 1 pair of feet seems to have fallen on deaf ears!!

Sitting on my hands...
 
My XT660 was delivered an hour ago...woo hoo. :love7:I am now officially an XT owner. I have 1 problem. How long do I have to sit on my hands for please Mr Weather man? I soooo want to tinker with the spanners and start making it "mine" but it's throwing it down with rain here and I don't want to stand my little 350LC outside whilst I play in the shed. So I'm sitting on my hands trying to avoid temptation. Is this normal?

Buy another shed, a man can never have to many sheds!

Your right there. Trouble is I've no more room in the garden. It's 40% man cave as it is!! Any bigger it will mean I physically won't be able to get the bikes out to ride.

I can't sell my LC. It was my "physio and rehab" after my accident in 2011. Spent a bit too much on her to not enjoy her for a few more years. Only done about 100 miles since she was "accidentally" rebuilt. I only meant to clean a few bits then use her but a clean bit next to a dirty bit didn't look right so that bit got cleaned then the next bit and so on....


Before the clean....

After the clean and a few too many pennies... Whoops.
