Hi.
I will try to make a long story short.
I am Torben (59 years of age) and I live in Denmark.
Here is some words about the bikes I have owned.
First bike was a Nimbus 750 from 1936 which I was the proud owner off from 1974-1976.
Then I wanted to get a BMW to tour the world, but got into sailing instead, a relation
ship that lasted until 2009.
But along the way I needed transportation so in 1999 I bought a new Yamaha SR 250 Classic, a wonderful little bike that I had for 2 years and did 40.000 km on.
Swopped that one for a new Yamaha XT 600 E in 2001 and did 54.000 km on that bike until I finally sold it in 2008.
Mind you, I road all my bikes, all year round, in all kind of weather, just lowering speed to suit the circumstances. Furthermore, my bikes have always lived outdoors (both the Yamaha’s never let me down, starting every morning and never had any thing break down) with no protection from the elements, summer and winter, so when I no longer was in need of transportation (because my work had moved within bicycling range) I ended my relation with motorcycling, without looking back.
Then some months back a friend of mine (after many attempts) persuaded me to try his Suzuki XF 650 Freewind, and what a surprise it was, being turned on again.
And thus, here I am with my Yamaha XT 660 X (2008) bought new on summer solstice 2014 with 0 km on the clock (870 km as of to day). This bike, which I am totally in love with, lives indoors to keep her good looks. It is a super bike, a SuperMoto.
Best of wishes,
