New V Strom day
« on: December 01, 2022, 17:52:39 »
I became an owner of a V Strom 650 today - seen here (hopefully) outside our garage. Bought it a couple of weeks ago but decided to take it on the first, as my last bike was bought on the 29th of the month which cost me a month's tax for a day's riding!
The weather could have been better, but it got me home in the most/fog of the Thames Valley. Looking forward to becoming better acquainted with it and piling on a few miles. So far, it has the grand total of 17 miles on the clock!
Loyal to the nightmare of my choice

Thank you - today I added 120 miles to the 2 mile pre-delivery check ride and the 15 mile ride home last Thursday. Certainly not disappointed with my choice!

Yours is the same colour as mine, I have done 5,000 miles and love every minute of riding.
