Hello from the Peak District
« on: March 27, 2025, 07:47:43 »
Hello. New member here. Awaiting delivery of my 2022 650 in about 3 hours time...

First v strom, but I've had both a gen 2 and 3 SV650 previously - I love the engine.

I've currently also got a 2008 XT660R, and a history of 30+ Japanese bikes.

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.
