Hi all from Spain
« on: October 31, 2023, 10:07:54 »
Hi All thanks for accepting me to the group. I am a 1036 V Strom owner bought it in the UK the day before COVID lockdown 2020 plate. I was told I needed to pick it up on the Sunday before Lockdown as J&S Doncaster didn't know when they would be opening again I pxd my MT09 Tracer for it. That meant it didn't get ridden to its full potential from day 1 albeit being an essential worker in the rail industry I used it to travel from Alfreton to Birmingham for work 2 or 3 days a week when I had to go to the office. it has been Sat where I now live in Spain with little use for nearly a year due to driving licence exchange issues following Brexit so I hadn't bothered to get it registered. Now chomping at the bit to get it registered and get to tour my lovely country of residence. I live in Historic Viver in Castellón in Spain as an early retiree hopefully the pennies will last ahem. I Look forward to being a member.
 As an ex Road Racer and  UK Clubman's Champion along with having owned and Run my own Motorsport business in the UK I hope we can share a few things. Ps excuse any typos I'm a devil for not using my glasses 🕶️🤓 when typing . :auto-dirtbike:

Hello and welcome. I'll be in Andalusia from 23 Nov until Feb and looking forward to it. Last year it was shorts in the day but log fire at night but still a lot warmer than the UK. Next year I'm going to ride into Europe and end up in the same place for a while, I'm really looking forward to the ride.  :welcome2:
