Hi guys, I heard about your site from a mate and decided I should join, instead of lurking. I am really a dirt-bike rider and bought the uly for touring. After I dropped it on the first gravel road I attacked, it has become a pavement-only bike. I'm super impressed with its handling on the road, the progressive rate springs soak up almost any bump, and the torgue out of the corner keeps a smile on my face. A bunch of us are off next week on a 8-day trip around Tasmania, will be FUN.... I've done a couple of mods to it, mainly in the looks and noise dept  I'll try to attach a photo of it, and might see you around the internet some day  | ||

Welcome. Looks good. Different tires will help with your gravel efforts. I pulled the Stradas on my XT in favor of the Syncs. Trails might be next. | ||

Yool, sweet ride. Welcome. How well does the wave front rotor work? Is it much improved over the stock? | ||

Welcome! Nice looking mods there! There are a lot of us current and former dirt squirters around here. I lean more to former, due to age and condition(me and the bike), but I still have my '86 XL250R. | ||

Thanks for the welcome guys, the site is wonderful, I been burrowing thru the archives, will probly never see it all. ++couple more pics would be nice++ I like to farklearound with it, keeps me sane, I guess.......I'll post em at the end, but the sun is a bit bright today, its the middle of summer here ++How well does the wave front rotor work? Is it much improved over the stock?++ I can't really remember, the original was warped for a while, and had OEM pads. When I replaced it I added lyndal Gold pads. There is a lot of feel in the front brake at any rate. ++post your Tasmania trip in the Tales section.++ I'm going over with Mick, a member from over in the dinosaur section  , he put me onto your site. There's 19 of us going, mostly buells, so should be lots of photos.......    | ||

I'm also an Aussie XT owner. Where did you get the exhaust ? | ||
| Yool |
Hiya Phil(XBox), and Bill (Molahs)Good to catch up with you again. The tassie trip was great, but I broke an exhaust stud halfway thru the first day. Eventually going again ready for the last day of riding. So I spent most of the trip in the van, drinking beer and seeing sights. Mick and I did the Great Ocean Road on the way back, that was good, 100+ k of 35k corners  |
