Title: SteveD's new bike
Post by: Bill Rutter on June 16, 2008, 10:52:11 PM

How is it Steve? I was thinking about you on Friday - there is nothing quite like picking up a new bike from the dealer.  How fast does it go Mister?????

Fabulous, thanks for asking. Taking it back down to Peterborough for first service (600 smiles ;D) on Friday and then up to Buxton to meet up with other XT owners. Its everything the reports made out and more, very comfortable compared to the seats on the other XT's as it's much wider, more than enough power for me. Just a bit dissappointed that the extras have not filtered through to this country yet as I really wanted the panniers and engine guard. Hope to see some of you guys at the annual. Cheers. 8)

Yes Jethro, I thought Steve was being a bit brave running about on the XT before the engine bars turn up. Nice bike all the same, can't wait to see it next week.
