Hi to all here. I'm from Stuttgart and mainly a user and poster in german XBorg. But, I like the language here - even more i got some good friends in UK and i will mostly read and be a "silent" member.

I ride a 2007 XB12 STT in white. Good and satisfying 15.800 km in 1 and 1/2 years. Shorted tail, but no more changes than good tyres and a well done setup by ECM-Spy and better brakes and dampers.

I like this bike, it's a part of my life ...

My interest goes to a tubeframe Buell, may be I will look out for a S1 in winter, where ever it comes from.

Ok. that' s all from me for the first state.

RainMan

We decided we weren't and, IMO, by heck did it get tedious when it was all that 3 or 4 people posted on some threads.

Hey, Rainman, I've been to Stuttgart a few times but, well, it was over 40 years ago (and leave that joke book in your pocket, Mojo, I know what you are thinking :lol: ) Last time I was there I drove through on the way back from a meeting in Munich on 11th August 1999. 8-)

I don't ride on motorways, but even my car is bumping hard. The roads in Western Germany are now as they were in Est Germany before the wall and the reverse.

The roads round Stuttgart are winding, but even more in a very poor state. Repair Spots on, not very secure on wet (like oil) and hot days (melding). :cry:

Welcome Rainman,
have you met Ronald, our own Raingod. I think he's gone a bit quite quiet lately playing on the MV forums I expect :roll:
