I'm having a serious reconsider of my riding of late and have been thinking of going the adventure way so I can get to see "the real" NZ(imo).
With working where I do obviously I can get a deal on a Yamaha(Triumph or Duc) so have been thinking about a XT660.
Your opinions please....but do bare in mind that I'm a complete 100% n00b at this side of things.

Cheers

XZ660Z dude, you want a good tank range, try a few firts and get somewthing more road orientated

No, thats my KLR in the photos, and the cases are the Bunnings supplied, "Craftech" brand, $99 Chinese knock-offs of Pelicans. Some places also sell these under the "Kincrome" brand. Only available in yellow. Almost dimensionally the same as the Pelican 1500. Mounted on home made racks and detachable.

Excellent job Pete, good reliable old box section, makes a good crash guard / slider too I guess.....

Nice Job

Why yes, it did. With only about 100 metres to go before getting back onto the good gravel, dropped it on a particularly greasy, deeply rutted downhill track. Cases were undamaged, rack bent in a little at the bottom. Will straighten ok. The case held most of the the bike up off the ground.
