New Member Old Rider
« on: January 30, 2025, 17:33:05 »
Hello everyone, I am in South Wales, I just want to say I wish I had joined a long time ago, I have been riding my 2008 K7 DL1000 (named Belle) for 3 years and love it to bits, I have joined to get some advice as if I don't improve the rideability of the beast very soon I am going to have to trade her in, which I don't really want to do!

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