Back on a Strom
« on: October 24, 2017, 10:59:56 »
Hi all,

Around 7 years ago I owned a DL650 that I used mainly for commuting, I went to a dealer with the intention of buying a DL1000, and was talked into buying a Honda CBF1000. Countless bikes later, I'm finally buying the bike I originally went to buy, I'm picking up a silver 2006 DL1000GT this Saturday.

Cheers,

jwmitch :icon_razz:

Yes, I have used Gort as my avatar before on few bike forums over the years, the perils of owning so many bikes!

I hope to stay around for a while, as this looks like a good forum.
