    Sorry gents, bit slow here. Been a bit busy with the likes of the Radnor etc.
    Anyway, XR is a peach, the best one i've had for sure. Third one, gotta be a good omen aint it?!?!?!
    Well get out for a spin and get some pics up soon but been thrashing about on me Kwacker lately with rallies, enduros etc.
    Still trying to decide which bike to use for the Cambrian but the Honda is looking fave right now

    Maybe rallies and the likes but i doubt full on Enduros, i use my kawasaki for that.
    I did take the XR down a local MX track the other day. That was fun.
    People who say XR650R's dont jump have no idea. The only problem is they land like a car

    I was wondering what they're like in enduro, i'd like to do the odd one over here. My knee put me out of racing a couple of years ago but i've still got the bug and hopefully i'll take it easy on the beast ha ha. Some of the events are all open mountain terrain so no trees to try and get the xr around!
