Please excuse my bad English....I am an Essex boy.
But as you guessed (or i told you in the title) i now live in central Germany (Hesse).
I have just expanded my garage with the purchase of a mint XT660Z. Mint as in its a 2008 and only covered 8000km and has a good collection of Touratech parts added too.
I pick it up in a couple of weeks to sit alongside my Suzuki GSX1400.
