Hi from Plymouth
« on: July 24, 2025, 10:58:25 »
Hello  folks. Just bought a 2010 DL650 to take me to my new job. I've got a bit a dual carriage way to do and it will be too scary on my ybr 125.
Had a Honda CB500X which took me to Norway.

Heading off to Wales on the Vstrom for a camping weekend with my son (who happens to have a CB500X)

Hi Rambrose and  :welcome2:. I lived in Plymouth for most of my life and riding there (across the Moor) today from near Okehampton. I'm sure you will enjoy your V-Strom, the best all round bike ever made IMHO. Enjoy.  :thumb:
