Hi from South Wales
« on: December 25, 2023, 23:52:02 »
Hi all,


Picking up my new 2023 1050 V Strom on Friday  :lala: :auto-dirtbike:  I have been riding for a few decades and will be passing on my current bike, a Triumph Trophy 1215 that has served me well over the last couple of years.

I will be mainly commuting (about 12k miles per year) and very much looking forward to a lighter machine than the TT.

I live in Swansea.  Yeah, it’s raining!
