Again – on any given Saturday the hero of this saga went in good faith to assist a friend in picking up a motorbike. Being the natural born leader he is HD Magnus naturally sat in the warm car an waited while his friend struggled to get the new ride on to the trailer. Spending time with himself he naturally started monologing with his best friend the cellphone googling on – as it happened – used bikes. It did not take many minutes before he found a bike in mint condition just around the corner. It had done barely 300’000 miles and was newly painted by the kids in the hood.  So what is the new metal – well it’s a Yamaha XT,  the ultimate courrier bike. It’s durable, can-go-anywhere and easy on the wallet. We welcome the new metal to LostRiders and look forward to some propper gravel thrashing!
