Greetings from always (?) sunny Devon. Bought my almost new VStrom 650 back in November and love it. I'm an old man on a bike, having ridden many of them in my youth when you could ride forever on L Plates but got distracted by cars and girls and so never passed my test. Went through the whole expensive rigmarole last year and immediately bought the VStrom. Great bike. Wish now I'd left cars and bikes alone :o)

If a man knows he’s a hero, he can always find a dragon to fight even if the dragon’s asleep and minding its own business.

Hi and welcome.

When you said "Wish now I'd left cars and bikes alone :o)" I guess you meant cars and girls?

Yep, Hugo, you're not wrong. See how senility is setting! My apologies to all bikes.

Think you probably meant just the cars, or maybe your memory really is fading   :grin:
