Welcome from London

Hi Everyone. Got myself a lovely Canadian WR² yesterday. Needs it 1000km service then it's time for bashplate, new barkbusters and large tank from aqualine. After that some of the WR² mods to lighten and energise the new toy.

I'm based over here in the UK, just outside London. I have an XT660R in the garage along with a CCM404e (british bike with DRZ400e engine). 2007/8 I did a trip from UK to CapeTown, South Africa on an Africa Twin with a mate of mine - Brighton 2 Capetown. Clips on Youtube/b2c2007.

I've bought the WR² to go to Siberia on. Leaving spring next year.

nice man enjoy and good luck! look into a corbin seat if your going to be long distance.

Welcome, HI!

Welcome !

So how did you come by a Canadian WR in London ?

Welcome to the pack! Always good to see some overseas guys get in on the action. Feel free to help yourself to the beer fridge and the mud pit out back.

The bike is Canadian because a Polish bloke was visiting a mate in Canada and wanted to do some trails. Someone he met mentioned some old boy was trying to sell a WR250 for a very cheap rate. I think he was hoping for a 250F but the deal was so good he got his mate to import it into the UK through his bike shop. He then used it for a bit and realised the UK really is rubbish for offroading (esp. near London) so he sold it. He messed up his ebay listing and no one came to see it so I persuaded him to end it early for an agreeable price. Next thing I know, I've got a WR250R in my garage. Result!
