Hi All!
« on: July 22, 2008, 11:39:03 »
Passed on Monday  :D and following test rides on other machines decided V-Strom was the one for me! :clap:
Will be commuting and at weekends.
Get it on the 1st August and can't wait. ###
As a new 'proper' rider (only has 125's before) I will be looking for tips and advice.
Great site and good be in touch with you all. :)

Hello  :D
Life isn't about waiting for the strom to pass.... it's about learning to dance in the rain
