XT/TT500 rustling happening tomorrow 10:00hrs 2nd April 2011 @ Waikato Yamaha Hamilton. Brief coffee then off to Waingaro Hotel to meet up with another XT500. Once again a brief stop and then off to Raglan for lunch and then home. If you have a XT or a TT500 you are more then welcome to tag along. This is our fourth ride since X-mass and could be our last till summer time comes around again. Sorry about the short notice but only just organised it.

Yeah would have been great to have you along. Total of 5 turned up should have been 6 but one had to pull out at the last moment. There were 4 TT500's and 1 XT500. The wheather was perfect, the ride, lunch and stories told were great. Got home about 16:30 hrs and could have stayed out for longer but you know what the lights are like on these thumpers. Took a brief video, will post it on You tube for you to see but here is pic in the mean time.
Had a bit of a discussion and it looks like there might be another XT/TT500 rustling going to happen, this might be the spot?

One trick bike, love the mufflers! None have seen trade me before, one is a one owner, one has been owned since 1983 and the others have been sold from friend to friend and so on. Will see if we can get a helmet cam together for the next ride?

Yeah it was great, hey how long were we actually outside the pub talking before we actually went inside for a drink, about a hour maybe?
