Please be kind !!!
« on: May 05, 2017, 21:03:32 »
Hi, I'm new to biking, having only passed my test in November 2016. I bought a 2014 DL1000 of a good friend of mine and have loved my introduction to the great outdoors experience.

Be vewy, vewy careful. That's an awfully big handful for a beginner. At least take a course to get started.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s
