Looks like I am the new twit that has acquired Pokey's bike. I went from a TL1000S to the V Strom and even thou is a very capable bike from some mild off road to a little peg dragging. It just lacked the excitement I once had on the TL, and i wanted somethin more touring oriented. And I most definitely gained that with the 14. I have had her for about 10 days now and clock about 600 miles and I absolutely love it. Only thing I need to complete the package is a decent helmet my old EXO 400 makes a lot of noise the way the wind comes off of the 14 wind screen its several years old I was ready for a new one anyway I'm looking at the Shoei Quest. Anywho I have some real thick skin so "bring it" you have to to hang out with the ohioriders guys ..and pokey don't worry about be gentle on the strom I broke her in last year after it was a garage queen for its first 6 years of life.
Welcome!
FYI, you can't inherit twit status. You'll have to earn that distinction.
Welcome, 2talltim! Now bring me a shrubbery!
Should we call you Triple T?um no. .
Came within a hair's breadth of trading my '08 Connie for a Wee Strom. I'd be interested in reading your thoughts after you have some time on your Strom. What do you miss, what is better, etc.
...and you think a Strom is stange and ugly?! You should see my car. '03 Honda Insight. Hmmmm... Maybe a Strom is my thing.
All I can do is shake my head...
My wife drives that now.. ....I'm driving the RAV4, which isn't bad, but it only gets 25mpg compared to 50mpg that the Prius gets. I don't drive that much anymore unless I'm on a job so it makes sense for her to drive it and I'm trying to keep as many miles off of it that I can. It has close to 280K on it.
And if you must know, I was shaking my head at my home office desk...you Twit.
I can get 19mpg at 70mph and pull both of you around
All the pollution crap is removed , I've got three 500 gal tanks at home Road, off Road and Gas
I don't check MPG too depressing , $ 3,500 to $ 4,000 per month to keep fuel in the tanks.
Don't know why you did not keep Connie and buy a used off road beater.
