Hi, Sarah from Somerset. I became a V-Strom DL1000 A owner in September 2023, and its taken me about 18 months to love her. I've been riding since 1982 when I passed my test as a callow 17 year old. She's only my second Suzuki, I don't know why, generally been a Honda girl, but had Kawas, Yamahas as well. Never ventured into the products of other nations, but ridden a few with permission. Least favourite - a couple of Harleys with tiny petrol tanks and a big opinion of themselves. Most loved bike, Honda CB500T. Longest serving bike, 600 Honda Hornet, now being ridden by my fella, who started riding on my encouragement.

Glad to be here, hoping for helpful tips and recommendations.
