my new ride
« on: June 08, 2025, 19:23:26 »
Thanks to this forum and the sales board, and the really lovely and knowledgeable @johntee I have bought my first Strom. A 2013 Glee (think I have that right)

Absolute credit to its previous owners, its in great condition. On the 65 mile journey from Lincolnshire to Yorkshire I realised why these bikes are so loved. Its got smooth power, great engine and gearbox and handles well, but most of all, its a really comfortable ride.

got the Givi screen Airflow to fit yet, and from the reading I have done on here that will make it even better.

thanks Chaps. Oil and Filter change this week, then looking forward to getting lots of miles. Will do the rest of the fluids over the coming weeks. MOT coming up too, it'll fly through.
