Hi guys and girls, all being well I will be the owner off a 2009 XT660Z in the next few days so I thought I'd sign up and say hello. My name is Davey I come from Northern Ireland and I live near Wellington New Zealand. I have not ridden on dirty since my MX days about 25 years ago but I have been riding big road bike. I have had my 1999 CBR1100XX Blackbird from new and looked after it like a child and ride it as often as I can. I'm looking forward to hitting the trails as there are loads of places to go here in NZ.
I'm sure I'll be back very soon with loads of question.
Later
Davey

Thanks for the welcome guys and sorry looks like it will be a short stay, seems someone wanted the Ten I was after more than I did or to be more precise had more money then I do. Anyway looks like I'm going down the G650GS route as the selection within my price range here in NZ is limited. Good luck to you all and I do hope to get a XT660 some day and if I do I'll be back.
Cheers
Davey
