Had an interesting phone call today ...
« on: December 16, 2019, 19:56:38 »
Had a call at work today, the person on the other end of the phone had tracked me down through this forum , he asked for kwackboy ...  lol
It was an MCN reporter doing a piece on the vstrom past to present, we chatted for about 10mins about known issues mainly about the Vee and clutch judder but he also asked about the 2019 model for which I hadn't a clue as I've not seen or ridden one yet .

Not sure when the article will be coming out but it's clear he's been using this forum for research, hopefully it'll get a mention. :shrug:.
Fingers crossed ..
