Newbie from the Netherlands
« on: April 28, 2018, 21:45:01 »
Hi All.
Just joined the forum today. I'm an expat Brit living in the Netherlands (originally from Leeds) and picked up my brand new 650 in yellow this afternoon. Really happy with it so far and the colour looks great especially with the gold wheels. I also have a Triumph Bonneville T120 in black. (The Bonnie is called Betty and the Strom Goldy)

Thanks for the welcomes blokes. Well since picking up the bike from the dealer in the rain yesterday, today it’s been peeing it down all day so far. It’s not just the UK that has crappy weather we have our share too.
