first day at school
« on: April 18, 2021, 20:13:34 »
Morning fellow bog snorkelers, just a few words by way of introduction.
picked up a 19 plate 650 xt yesterday and put about 300 miles on her...and yeah I can understand what people say about the bike, is all good. Stepping off a street triple R after 4 years with that rock hard suspension the Strom is like an armchair. This bald, fat, 60yr old has finally had to admit the bones can't take the hammering anymore! so I'll be lurking around picking brains and throwing my two pence in when I think I know what I'm talking about. cheers blokes.
