Nearly new owner...
« on: May 31, 2015, 14:53:43 »
Just ordered a DL650XT, should have it within a couple of weeks.

Been promising myself a new bike for a no. of years, just never got around to it. Last bike was a Speed Triple, about 15 years ago. Test rode a number of bikes before finally settling on the Wee, New Speed Triple (Scary), Street Triple (great), Moto Guzzi Griso ( :romance-heartsmiley: ), New V Strom 1000 (Lovely). Planning on day trips initially, Home Counties / South East, and am really looking forward to being back on a bike again. Hope to see a few of you out and about.

Thanks for the welcome blokes. I will report back, with pics, (if I can work out how to post them, cos I'm a techno-numpty), when the new girl arrives.

Was supposed to collect the bike on Monday, but it's probably going to be Saturday now.  Apparently some delay with Suzuki and computers.  :GRR: Mind you, I've got to make room in the garage yet....

So I'll bide my time on here, posting terrible jokes and taking in the "wisdom" of you lot.  :grin:
