    Hi guys I have a 800xc crashed as per live happens. This is my second Triumph the other one was a Daytona 955i. My name is Lourens Loki for short and I am from South Africa . This XC is replacing my Suzuki DR750S . My other toys are KTM 990 Superduke 2005 and Yamaha XT 600E 1998 i think.

    Most my bikes are special cases mostly non runners crashed that need TLC. I wasn’t going to buy another bike but hey happiness is another bike. Off-roads is my first love, but I have owned and built may bikes over the years one that I should not have sold was the Honda VLX 750 Afrika Twin shaft. I had cancer at the time and didn’t want to leave the family with a burden. And 10 years we still here, go figure.

    We have some awesome trails to explore here but it is a dangerous place. Check out adventure riders on FB it will give you a pretty good idea.

    I digress catch up soon suggestion for parts always welcome.

    Welcome to the family. Some beautiful steeds there. Seems you have been through the mills of late. But you have the right outlook. Nice bike and a great place to ride what else could a person want keep it up and let us all know about your adventures. Here in the asylum we love the stories and pictures and nursey recommends it as she gets a quite evening as we ogle and read.
    Ride Safe & Enjoy.
    Joe

    On the home page if you go down the list of topics you will find builds and projects there. The inmates will then follow your progress and help if they can or if help is needed you seem very capable of rebuilding it with or without any help.
    Regards
    Joe.
