Just saying hello.
« on: January 29, 2026, 17:39:01 »
Hi to all, I registered last April. Hopefully I am doing this introduction thing right. Not the best on computers. So have been putting this off.
Anyway. Last May I bought a 2023 DL650 VStrom with less than 500 on the clock. It came with a top box , centre stand and Oxford heated grips , Air flow screen and a Tom Tom rider set up. I lowered the pegs a bit to help my left knee and am quite chuffed with the bike apart from the seat.

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.

The standard seat is an instrument of torture. Don't put up with it.
Upt and sitting comfy.
