Welcome Bombsquad! No doubt the TT has arguable the best DRZ forum on the planet! XL is still pretty small, but I think of high quality. No sharp elbows and some great ride reports! Looking forward to hearing about your adventures from around the SE. Have great thanksgiving, no doubt for all those great bikes in your stable!
