around the manukau heads.... And I feel good. Ankle is a little sore but only when I walk not when I ride :) Bike feels good and is a blast on the twisty back roads. Makes riding near the limit (speed limit) fun. :2thumbsup

Didn't see one other bike though..... But I was riding the goat tracks.

Good on yer Andy. As a former XT owner I appreciate your choice.
I've only been on that road in a rental or a van when servicing gear at the signal station - but it looks like it could be fun.

I had one exactly like yours Andy.Love my Fazer but still wish I`d kept the XT sometimes,sadly couldn`t afford to run both.

That rear brake hose looks pretty exposed, can you reroute it somewhere less vulnerable?

This is the Yamaha XT660X that replaced the old XT(TT still available while stocks last).This is the Supermoto version(Yam do 3 S/Ms in their european range),there`s also a trail version.They`re more road-oriented than the XT,but then Yam do a road kit for their enduro bikes here if you want something more focussed.Honda also have an S/M on the way based on the old SLR650 which I dont think you got.

..... But I was riding the goat tracks.

and finding the goats. just remeber a man in nelson was charged with doing the wild thing with goats, twice

u have been warned.

Motu well he has a defence, hes from the Naki, bit like the Pitcairn island defence.
