One more XT
Got the ferry from Dublin to Liverpool to pick up this little beauty.
It rides so much nicer than my '02 640 Adv.
Company for my other Tenere too.

Correct date?
The TORC website has a different date.
Do you need to pre register or arrive and pay then?

Kiss
Look at the simple things first.
Is your kick start mech assembled correctly after removing the cover.
Is the kick start spinning on the shaft?
Is it tight?

It's the taking part!
For sure I wouldn't be competitive but I'd like to see what I can endure on the bike. I'll dig a little deeper with other clubs and see if I can go for a run.
Thanks for the input.
