Hi guys, mt name is Phil and i live in Sandbach Cheshire where it rains for ten months of the year and snows the other two.
I bought my 2013 xtz tenere new this year after selling my gsx1400.
I am 6'2" which makes the xtz the ideal machine for me but my wife is 5'4" and is disappointed because it didn't come with a ladder, they certainly are a tall machine.
The last duel purpose machine i had was a drz400e way back in 2003.
The reason i went for the xtz is because my son rides a xtr and after having a go i found i liked the way it behaved.
Its got a real character, vibes and shudders and a great riding position but i am a little tall for it.
So it was off to CMC at Clay Cross Chesterfield who are a main Yamaha dealer where i buy all my bikes from and the showed the ten to me, you know the feeling when you see something and you know that's the one for you!, i was hooked.
I could go on for hours but Tina has told me to keep it short.
So HI EVERYONE and i look forward to making new friends.
