THE STORY SO FAR.
I started riding way back in 77, only because there was no room for another car in the drive and I had to get to work somehow. Little did I know that was a decision that was going to change the rest of my life.
In those early years I had quite a few bikes, the most memorable being my two stroke Yams .

Unfortunately kids came along and the bikes had to go. for the next 15yrs I lived in denial, "I don't want or need a bike!".
But then a work mate started looking into going back onto two wheels and the MCN started to appear and I started to flick through them. It was only then that I realised how much I missed having two wheels.
So I jumped in, bought myself an early VFR750. (Yes, they are as good as they say!) Natural progression saw me changing to the Honda Blackbird, a superb bike which still takes pride of place in my garage.
Unfortunately my 3 mile commute to work isn't worth getting the BIRD out for so I started to look for something (and I don't mean to offend anybody) more 'casual'.
While looking into options I found myself being drawn more and more towards the supermoto and the XT in particular.
And here we are, I now am the proud owner of a 09 XTX.
and to

Thanks for becoming an XT Supporter
