Hello from the usually frozen North, but bathed in the warm glow of the large yellow ball of fire in the sky.

Picked up my V-Strom 1050 today after about 20 years of Mr H's sports tourers.

Really like the more upright riding position (my back is already thanking me) and super comfy on the ride home.

Of course now I've got the bike the forecast is for more traditional Scottish summer but hopefully I'll squeeze in some more miles.

Cheers people.

Yea, the gold/Bronzey Orange wheels weren't my first choice, but they've grown on me.

Now off to find all the bits I need to stick on it.

Cheers again.
