« on: February 02, 2015, 22:41:39 »

Thought id drop a line to say hello from Wales now that I'm soon to be a proud owner of a V Strom desert !

Port Toilet local here, spend a fair bit of time in between home, Brecon, Llyn Brianne, and Amonford.

If you see a bashed and muddy Blue strom around it's mine  :neen:

keep an eye out in the ride out section, I'm planning a new route for our leader's August meet, so I should be posting up some opportunities to come get lost with me.
