I was weak and strayed from the path....
 

https://imgur.com/a/eNTiXI had a 2004 xt660x and loved it, sold it like an absolute fool and bought a z750 and regretted it ever since. Purchased a 2011 xtz a couple of days ago and i'm ready to start having some fun again.

Good lad.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the Z after having the bigger and faster stuff.
Which part of our emerald Isle are you from?

Welcome back to the XT side....I've been seriously lusting after the Z900RS lately, but as soon as I ride the Tenere I know it's the bike for me! Steve

Well done, and welcome back

That's why every biker should have at least two bikes!!!

Al.

Thanks guys :)

from Galway cozi70, the west coast is the best coast

https://youtu.be/Yy1U_SbiSoY I'll agree with you! , I lived in Carna for a while, then near Skibereen in West Cork. I go back every summer on the bike. ..the Tenere is great on the 'grey lanes' of the West coast of Ireland and the people are lovely. Steve

Photos in Ireland.
 

Showed my wife your photos and some of your vids and they evoked some special memories for us as we tramped around the south west of Ireland on our bikes for a fortnight every year for a great many years.
Spent a couple of hours digging through old photo albums because of it.

Pete.

Hi Pete, glad you enjoyed them ....it's a special place! Steve

Carna is lovely, feels like a different county out there,and all the private little beaches are great. Wouldn't fancy living out there in winter though haha
