No fear, George is here!
 

Hello everybody!

I'm George from Patra/Greece, very happy recent owner of a used XT660R 2004!

The XT is the 2nd Motorcycle in my garage, I also own a Fazer S2 '09 which I've been using the last six years to travel around Europe!

Having also had other enduro/on off motorcycles in the past and after last year that I visited an island and completely shed tears for my beautiful s2, it's ohlins suspensions and the new tires, while moving on difficult terrain that I didn't expect to find, I decided that a second motorcycle was needed. My faith to Yamaha is enormous and the love for the XT line holds back to the very early years of my life.
Though I wanted to find an XTZ cause I liked it a lot, I believe in the end I did the right choice and bought a used XTR. Light, agile, LOWER seat and much cheaper, I have had it for a couple of weeks now, made some mods on it and starting to love it greatly, while at the same time I really enjoy riding it.
It's purpose: everyday use to go to work, some off road out of the city limits, reaching remote beaches in the summer and of course, using it for my island adventures, since my country has a lot of those and I still haven't visited even the 10% of them.

I've been reading topics and articles from this forum for a while now and have decided that I should be part of it, in order to get/share information, join discussions that are interesting and why not, make new friends!

So, this is it for now, thank you very much for receiving me.
Happy new year!


p.s. - where do you set an avatar?

Hello & wecome mate. Enjoy your bike.
You can set you avatar picture in your profile via the User CP in the top left of the screen.

Thanks man, but still there's no option for avatar setting in the CP...

Thanks, but I still can't see any avatar or option to enable it/change it.

I hope I didn't ruin the forum already....hahaha

No you didn't ruin anything,

I'm sorry to tell you that such option doesn't exist in my CP...
The settings and options section starts with edit signature.

Can it be the browser? I'm using chrome...
