Hello from Leicester
« on: September 02, 2013, 23:33:51 »
Hi everyone,

I only recently passed my full test after having spent 18 months bombing around on a VL125. I took a Strom out on test and loved it so I placed my order then and there and my brand new bike should be hitting the roads at the end of the month.

I was just wondering if there was any advice anyone had? Anything to look out for with the bike?

I must say I am really looking forward to becoming a storm trooper.

Advice ? Steady away until you get used to the new bike and the tall seat option is really comfy  :thumb:

Can anyone recommend a tarp for my new v-strom? I presently use an xl Oxford for 125 cruiser but I'd be surprised if it would fit the strom? The Suzuki one seems a little pricey - anyone got any alternative suggestions?
