Hello Everyone
Not got my hands on my Africa Twin as yet (due to pick up on Wednesday 16th March). Never had a bike like this always been a supersports man.
But after having my 2 year old fireblade stolen a month ago Ive had enough so Im hoping for some wet, mucky English fun in all weathers.
Piccy will come as soon as I can

Welcome to the forum!

What other bikes have you owned in the past and have you kept them mostly stock or modified them?

Hi Zippysworld
me and smudger get our bikes mid April! although I do some green laneing around the area on my ktm I wont be getting my AT dirty for a while......or at least until the tyres need changing or I get some decent crash bars! so would be good to see what you think of it off road around the Essex lanes. Whereabouts are you? maybe I could watch you get yours muddy first lol.....

Hiya Dibbs, Don't get me wrong my idea of getting mucky means a gravel car park with a big puddle until I've got some experience lol
Be good if we can meet up in the land of Essex once you've got yours. Don't want to say exactly where I am on a public forum but not far from Stansted.
