took the old girl out for a quick spin . shes been neglected over the cooler weather , took a bit of jump starting . but once going , rode as beautiful as ever
going to melbourne tomorrow to look at a couple of V stroms
Im cashed up courtesy of the tax man and always wanted one

 

V strom (1000cc) or Wee Strom (650cc) Al?

I have a bit of a story about the Wee Strom. I rode a Honda 650 Transalp for a few thousand km through Turkey and about 2/3rds of the trip distance swapped with a Wee Strom rider. All of a sudden on the fast sweeping bends I found myself on the wrong side of the road! It just DID NOT handle like the Honda did (and I love my Suzukis ). The motor in the 'Strom however was a gem.

My feelings after the ride were stick the 'Strom motor in the Transalp frame and you'd have a fantastic motorcycle.

That was until I rode the 2010 BMW 1200 GSA 4 valve per cylinder bike.......

If I could afford one, I'd be buried with it.

SB, I didn't actually mount it. It slides down and is held firm and tight by The natural pression of the windscreen and cluster..

 

I lost my key. Somehow it just disappeared right out of my pocket and is never more to be seen. I still had my house keys and the Givi keys in my pocket when the ignition went missing leaving my a few miles from home. My son rescued me with my spare.

 

Maybe it's time to snap a pic of that Key # with your smartphone .....lol , jess sayin' jess incase.

Finding it to hard to restrain myself on the CBR . Long flat straight roads are boring as bat ****e at 100kph . Lots of interesting back roads around this way tho , so I'm looking to slow down a bit and do some more exploring and photography . Keeping the beast tho , track days are calling me .

 

I just cannot believe that hasn't sold at that price Naga - it's a gem!

And if I buy another bike in the future (near of far) I'll be sleeping in the shed with them.................... Hmmmmmm.............
