Hello
« on: March 03, 2013, 16:37:17 »
Hi all. I'm realativly new to this biking lark having only passed my DAS last October.
I'm 38 and first went on the road with a bike at 19 ( Yamaha DT 80 ), but then a Wife and family got in the way and had to learn to drive.
I jumped back on a bike last June ( Honda CBF 125 ) and after passing my DAS I couldn't wait to get my first 'big bike'. After a search of the showrooms I chose the Vstrom. So in December I picked up my brand spanking new DL650, and have loved every second on the road, an inspired choice it would seem.
I live near Torquay in Devon so can't wait for the summer to get out and enjoy it properly.
