to the herd..
I thought they were for old people too, so I went and bought one, I'm 62
I bought mine from Jem's last November, wonder if you bought the other, there were 2, I chose the Red (fast) one..
I live in Leeds but work in Dewsbury.. on your door step, so to speak. Looking at meeting up with Antares at some point for a ride out, maybe you could join us. Can't have to many riding buddies..

I will be 59 in April and have been riding for many years ( 32) as well. Just wondering if we should have an "old Timers" thread? lol
Its amazing to see how far technology on bikes has become. The XR has so much, even my 2017 Ducati is missing many of the features. I remember when disc brakes were a fancy upgrade lol.

Very similar to how I felt about bicycles having disc brakes, in my head, rim brakes are plenty enough to lock the wheels why'd you ever want discs... Little did I know... They are pretty much fully commonplace nowadays.

Had my tech light bulb moment when I bought this, it's now old hat and goes to the dealer tomorrow to get P/X'd I have no doubts where motorcycles are going in the very near future.
