    First ride with the XR

    Weather was awesome, and I had a craving to ride the new bike, so I decided to go meet a few people for drinks on it, only I couldnīt help but get involved in a little detour on the way




















    And then a bit of mud, great fun to be had in first gear, had a ball









    Had a bit of a scare on that last one, water came a bit too high for comfort, at least for me












    Iīm anticipating lots of fun on this bike

    The bike's not even muddy Pete!
    So long as the water doesn't quite reach the seat then you'll be ok. The air intakes are normall pretty well protected!

    The mud I found is only still mud cause there are big puddles of water over it, which washes the mud away as you exit them


    I was a bit naughty today and found out the joys of riding on sand, soft deep sand, itīs great , no pictures though
