Introduction
« on: July 02, 2025, 15:20:12 »
Hello I have just become back into biking after a 16 year break caused by by FZR400rr theft.
I am now riding a 2005 DL650 which I bought a week ago and all I can say is that this is a most excellent machine.
it is so quick and responsive round the lanes of Gloucestershire and is great for my commute to work with its topbox I am looking forward to there being a vstrom ride out near here/ the royal forest of dean area would be great
