Hello, gals and blokes. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Dave, and have a 2019 DL1000 in blue arriving this week. Very pretty in Blue, with a top box for shoes, and one pannier for handbags, the other for clothes! I've sold this picture to my good lady as OUR BIKE. Hoping to start with some gentle coffee shop tours around the Midlands, UK and maybe the Peak District. Have had a few bikes over the years, recently two RSV4's, which were great machines, and more recently a Ducati Panigale, which is an incredibly involving ride.

Swmbo came camping a few times on the one bike.
She quickly got her own 125, now she's on a fecking muscle bike and still makes me cart all the camping gear so she can carry her shoes and pillows... fecking pillows! I still have to use a rolled up fleece jacket.
