Thank you for accepting me into your forum. I am 61 years old from Runcorn in Cheshire and just bought a 2023 V Strom 650 after 10 years away from biking. Hoping to do Ireland and Scotland next year.

Welcome mate.  I had a near 20 year break and found the 650 to be the perfect companion on my return.  Enjoy!!  :text-bravo:
