It's been a while
« on: May 15, 2016, 09:36:18 »
Since I last posted on here.  Not sure who is left after my last post, lets hope many of you.
Things have changed a lot for me since my last post, I moved from the Reading are to Melksham, but still have my Aprilia 750 Dorsoduro and 1200 Caponord.  Nice bikes all new and shine-ish. But the feeling of riding on a Vstrom is still there and I have a 2006 Vstrom 1000GT in the garage.  Its a really nice bike to ride, but in some ways I still prefer the 650 I had for day to day riding.  Much smoother and easier to ride for day to day use. 
I am looking for a couple of bits for my 1000 and will be placing a post in the right area soon.

Oh and before any of the older members ask, the 1000, like my old 650 has a tow bar fitted so I can tow a trailer when normal luggage just isn't big enough :)
