Hello. I'm  Ian, from north east of Greater Manchester area. 5 minutes from the Snake Pass..Been keen biker for over half a century. Owned and ridden most types and makes of motorcycle over the years.Last spring after a bit of a health scare I decided to get myself a new ' mobility scooter' so after a few test rides on various makes I chopped my Tiger in for a new model V Strom 1000. To date have done 4000 flawless miles a round the uk. Got the adventure model with all the bells and whistles for a quid under 10k plus excellent  px value.
Now Got to fess up, been reading your forum and picking your brains for months so thought about time should join if you'll accept wrinklies :old:. Improvements I've made to the bike from reading your experiences  so far. :bow-blue:
New givi airflow screen ( transformed touring ability ) Sleeved all electrical connectors under tank ( a must ) fitted a hugger and a tom tom Sat Nav. ( recommended if looking for addresses in built up areas.)
So looking forward to joining the community and learning about how to use forum and take part in the discussions.  :ty:
