Afternoon One and All,
just a quick e-mail to say hello and to take my mind off my work. Not new to the Vstrom (had it about 9 months) or new to bikes (had more than I can remember or could afford) but have to say that I'm having a blast on the old girl.

Did a few trips this year; Le Mans in April, Dartmoor in summer (if you can call it that) France and Spain in September (bloody hot and cracking back roads).........planning a few more next year, possibly Portugal and then the biggy in 2010.......Morocco!!

If anyone has any experience of riding to and around Morocco, I'd appreciate any advice you can offer!

Right, better get back to work before the boss comes back in  :cry:

cheers
Skippy
