When I first bought my XT I had had an R before but came to reason that I wanted an X for the fun of it. Concidering it�s november now I should�ve chosen a Z...

Well whatever...even a blind bat finds a friend!

I decided to keep my X which I�ve drivven 15000 km�s from 26 of march �til now dating november 5th. Passed the number today actually!

A few trips around Sweden has eaten a few kilometers on the meter and quite a lot of racing with my sportbike friends has also made quite a difference on the meter so I�m definately one with the bike.

Right now I�m shopping sidecarriers, sidebags & other essential stuff for the trip which is lating for 2 weeks.
Listening to others and judgeing for myself I am on constan watch for the most important gear.

Monday a XT 660 Z Tener� fuel tank showed up on Ebay and today I ordered side panels for it which I�m thinking of extending so they�ll steer the wind of my knees. 15 liters compared to 23 in combination with a 10 liter spare gives one a range of 700 km which is quite durable!!!

On the givi engine protection bars I�ve bought I�m gonna move the extra lights and mount a wide homemade skidplate for protection against both wind and salty wet roadsnow.

I searched for quite a lot of bags and found that the DeWalt "Thoughest" case at 55 liters were the absolute best one for my mission. (DS 400)
Mounted on OTR�s own caseholder/sidecarrier it was the absolute best option.

Some pictures:
