Hi from Cape Town
« on: February 07, 2025, 11:41:55 »
Good Day to all members. I'm riding my 3rd V Strom and loving it.

Mine is a 2008 model, bought last year (2024). Apart from a snatchy throttle it goes very well. Just done an oil and filter change with Motul 5100. Amazed by the flowery smell of the oil, rather nice.

Hello Rod and  :welcome2:. Why don't you splash a little oil on your face after shaving. A real man  :roll:  :thumb:.
Enjoy your bike on those lovely roads.  :)

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