XTR2 on the road

[turbo_chuff]

hello, just wondering if any of you lot use an XTR2 on the road and if so you get any problems with doing so.... (ovoiding speed bumps i take it)..

well i would be interested in seeing if anyone does, well played if you do,

basically should it go on my chistmas list is it a usable car on the road???

thanks very much

most of my running has been on the road,had no problems,big potholes can be an issue,ear plugs needed for hard use

great thanks for the reply, can i ask can you get a little screen so you don't have to wear a helmet???

my christmass list grows longer,

thanks for reply

the small areoscreen deflects enough of the draft that you dont need to wear a helmet if you want to pose,its the odd deflected stone thats painfull

I've done a few quiet little runs without a helmet, but always worn one for anything open-road. The helmet now has a few scars that would otherwise be on my forehead.

I'm not sure if these are issues with all XTR2's but my reverse is a bit gutless (can't pull back up a hill) and the turning circle is quite big.

So . . . you do need to practice the 180° squirt (see the Top Gear video) to turn around without hitting the kerbs or having to get out and push.

Having said that it's the most fun I've ever had in a car and if I'm not working (and the weather is fine) that's where I'll be
