Yamaha XTZ 660

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

So, I recently got my motorcycle driving license, and I bought a good old Yamaha XTZ 660 Tenere 1993.

It’s pretty cold up here now (6-7 Celsius at the warmest) so it’s soon off to winter storage with it, I took Stacy for a ride around Jonsvannet today, and got to drive on some dirt/gravel roads, and the bike handles those very well (no surprise).

I was a bit skeptical as I had mostly before driven a sweet new 2008 BMW F650, but the transition went very smoothly, only thing I miss is a hydraulic clutch.

I got the bike quite cheap (23’000 NOK – 4000$), and I was not sure how long I was going to keep it, but now I cant see myself selling it anytime soon :)

The tiny car incident

We were out shooting stuff last week, at the “fun range” by the Jonsvannet lake.

The RC car did not fare well.
