Greetings / Sawubona
« on: September 27, 2013, 20:30:39 »
Hi all,

Been lurking here for a bit while I've had a V-STROM GT (fully blinged) on order at Saltire in Edinburgh (where I'm at). Originally from far warmer climes, so 2 wheels here is going to be 'interesting'.  Fortunately the Saltire special includes heated grips  :)

Been an age since I've been on a bike - far too long - main reason being family (what else) but the mid-life crisis is here now so what the heck. It'll distract me from the endless mods on my trusty Land Cruiser  :clap:

Hopefully pick it up on Monday, but have the use of another on an 'extended test ride' till then - great folk, those Saltire blokes - what a pleasure they've made the whole process, as we've has to get ALL the protective gear too - not cheap  :shock:

So - hello, and looking forward to exploring some interesting parts of the country, and hope to catch up with a few of you on a ride as soon as the confidence levels are back to where they were when I used to blast around on my GPz1100 (yes, it's been a loooong time  :crazy: )

Cheers

Gary

A bit belated, but  :welcome:  :grin:

I was up at Saltires a couple weeks ago, what canny people! Nearly sold me a VanVan!
