New to the AT world

[blue skies]

Just bought an AT after many years spent in the wilderness riding all (road only) sorts of two wheeled machines - 400 fours, ducati 748, cbr600s, R1s etc. Last decent steed was a TDM850 which served me well up to 43k miles. Current stable is z1000 (needs TLC) z650 (being used) ZX7r streefighter (I can't do it justice so it will have to go).

I've read many of the posts over the past few weeks and think you have a great site going. My rear end sits very close to my ankles so will trawl the various threads about options to have the AT seat closer to the ground and all the other great tips.

I've not much of a mile crunching background - a few trips around england, scotland, ireland and wales and the saddle sore in 2006. No ventures into europe.

Bike trips have been few and far between in the last few years as I've been to stud but now that's over I hope to get back to the pleasures in life - me & an AT - Yeehaa!
