Saludos from Spain!
« on: December 26, 2023, 11:42:44 »
Hola a todos, Hello everyone!

Thank you for accepting me here.

I got this beauty (hopefully attached somewhere in this post) since May 2023 when I moved back from Dartford (UK) to my home in a rural area of Spain.

I love the V-strom since about 12 years ago when I was in the university in Spain and every single day, there was a black one parked on my way home. I noted the model and on my first week in Spain I bought it straight away. I was a bit worried as it had nearly 75000 km but I took the chance thanks to the good reviews I saw on internet. Now it has 81000 km and I think the more I use it the better it works :)

¡one saludo! Kind regards from Spain  :sunny:

Hi and welcome. I am in Spain at the moment, Andalusia. Lovely to sit in the sun yesterday, Christmas day but very cold at night. Unfortunately I haven't got my motorbike here just the use of a car. I'm glad I'm here over winter and not home in England. Your a lucky man living here with fantastic motorbike roads.  :welcome2:

Hello! I hope you enjoy your stay here. Andalucía is certainly great to spend the winter, I'll be visiting Cordoba in a few days. I know I am lucky, I actually think it is a crime not having a motorbike when you live in Spain.
