The Strom
This page has been updated on 16th April 2012. I have a newer version of the Vstrom, a black 09 model with ABS, but that is in Australia. I had sold the blue 2006 version as it had been dusted.
My bike I am using in the America’s is a 2007 model Suzuki DL650 Vstrom with quite a few modifications to make touring, both on and off road, more enjoyable and safer for me.
These modifications I took with me and bolted on in Salt Lake City, prior to starting my trip, thanks to Ken and Beverly who hosted me for the two weeks needed to ready the bike 🙂
The bike in Panama, on the deck of a 62ft yacht, the Golden Eagle with Aussie skipper Peter(Bruce) heading to Colombia, South America
This is the new Black ABS bike in Sarina at Shaynes place
And this is in front of The Barking Spider, Medellin, Colombia, with Hellen 🙂
A while back I attended the Inaugural Vstrom gathering at Cobar, in 2007 and this is the prize I won for the most farkled VStrom. FARKLE = a combination of Function and Sparkle, those things added to a motorbike that improves their function or looks.

Hi
I will be in Utah from about the 1st April, so if you are up that way, maybe drop in and say G’day? I will be going to Vegas as there is another friend in that area, who is not motorbike affiliated, but it will be dependant on timing etc.
Cheers

What a great adventure. I am about to change to a 650 from a Ducati ST3) with the intention of a 6 month ride from Singapore to Vietnam and possibly the Phillipines. I am following your ride with great interest.
TravellingStrom said
Hi
Are you going to ship the bike or what, how will you get it back
Good luck and have fun, I am sure you will though
Cheers TS

Have now picked up the new Strom and most pleased. First ride yesterday was as good as expected, today was great. Think now that the Ducati was a penis extension.

I am glad you like it
