Thank you for the add to the forum

Hello all
As the title says thank you for adding me to the forum, I collect my 2016 650 V Strom on Thursday next week.
I've been riding for 37 + years and had all sorts of machines. I have just sold on my Triumph Thunderbird storm and prior to this my Moto Guzzi 1200 sport.
Sold the triumph as to be honest it was just too big for what I needed, not only in engine size at 1700cc but also in weight, great when moving along but very heavy to move when stationary. Couple that with Triumphs extortionate servicing costs for the storm it had to go.
Took the V Strom out yesterday fro a couple of hours and once I was used to the different riding position etc and became confident on the bike, I absolutely loved it, back to the dealers and sale completed.
I'm going to have a good look around the page now as I am sure it will be full of useful information and advice.

Thanks again

Mark
