Hello from a newbie
« on: April 01, 2023, 14:30:01 »
Hi folks

Hello from Alton, Hampshire.

Thanks for letting me be part of the site. Got my first v-Strom last year (DL1050XT) on the advice of my best mate. Absolutely love the bike - apart from the screen noise. But will do a bit of digging to see what others have done.

Cheers
Raymond
