Newbie looking for help
« on: December 18, 2019, 18:25:06 »
Hi all,

After nearly 6 years of Super Tenere ownership, the old girl will be going on Saturday. This afternoon I accidentally did a deal on an AL7 (2017) 650  :lala:

I'm really looking forward to getting back into the Vstroms, and bound to ask all sorts of daft stuff... and probably some of it will be about the bike!

Look out for rides coming soon!

Obligatory picture :)

Congratulations young Man.

I trust you will be rehearsing all the 650 cliches, 95 mpg, 860 miles to a tank blah, blah, blah.... :thumb:

 :welcome: The best advice I can give you is to sell it and buy a proper V-Strom, one without the daft beak and the correct amount of headlights .

 :text-bravo:  Josh, congratulations and welcome back from the madness which is traitors corner!

Ignore the rantings of tall bastards (beak-haters) who claim that beaks look crap and have no utility. Many's the time I have sheltered under mine in a rain-storm. :xmas-santadance:
