Hello from Milton Keynes
« on: June 04, 2019, 19:16:01 »
Originally from Manchester, but now live in Milton Keynes, no jokes about roundabouts please.
I picked up my first V Strom 1000 2016 today, didn't have much time riding as the great British weather kicked in.

Never ridden a twin before, very different to what I've had in the past mostly 600 inline fours.
Needed something for two up riding with the wife and the V Strom ticked all the boxes.

 :welcome:

I'm in Swindon. I know all about roundabouts. At least they are all the same shape in Milton Keynes.

I've heard about the magic roundabout in Swindon, I bet there's always a few incidents on there.

Very few incidents, the layout is a masterpiece. 5 massive roads meet in one place with no traffic lights and it all just works. It's good fun taking an unsuspecting visitor through it though.
