[pinkman]

Hey Charlie. Thanks for the nice words about the website. I can't get Jack out of bed early enough for him to come on a long ride. :lol:

Jack does take some fine pictures though. We need to get him to trade in that BMW for a V-Strom.

[tstrom]

My husband and I hope to make a meet and greet soon but don't know whether it will be the March one or not as our daughter leaves for the Navy on the 27th. But soon. I have an 04 Blue Vstrom but my poor husband has a BMW Roadster so this trip it will be him in the minority instead of me.

[ready2ride]

Mike here from Orange City. New transplant from Pennsylvania. My Strom is an '04 1000 I picked up as a dealer leftover this past April. I've got 18,000 miles on it so far and I'm enjoying every mile.
I don't know the roads around here too well yet, so I probably won't lead any rides real soon, but I might consider holding a tech day after I get settled in my new house. Any interest in something like that?

[JetJaguar]

Bob from Orlando, right next to UCF. Red '05 DL650. I'd be interested in something like a tech day. Hopefully I'll see everyone at the next ride.

[Cpope]

Tech day sounds great since I am not smart enough to turn many wrenches without knowing what I am doing. See ya at the March 25th Ride.

[Tampa Tom]

Hello Everyone

Tampa Tom
Little secret....I live in Zephyrhills, FL (Zeph-er-hills...known for home of 50,000 snow birds in winter...and 35 mph traffic that turns left in front of you at any given moment with no warning)
I say Tampa because....it's just easier thats all

Just join the V-Strom crowd and as McDonalds would say, "Lovin it"

[subagon]

Hey Tom,

I grew up in Dade City (north of Zephyrhills for the rest of you). Now living between Plant City and Tampa. We had an old joke about Zephyrhills;

Q? Where do all the old people in St. Pete go on the weekend?
A! To Zephyrhills to visit their parents.

Hope to see you at the M&G Nov 4th.

[Cpope]

Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad.

Being raised in Pineapple Park (St Pete area(

St Pete was the "Town on the nearly dead"

Funny as a teenager, not so funny being 60 yoa.

:) :lol: :lol:

[Tampa Tom]

Hey Tom,

A! To Zephyrhills to visit their parents.

Hope to see you at the M&G Nov 4th.

Now that's funny stuff. So they retire in St. Pete and move their parents to Z-Hills. :lol:

[RodK]

HAHAHAHAH I'll have to remember that one, Mike. I dare anyone to try and ride 301 all the way thru Z Hills in January. It's a 45 minute trip.

Don't forget the Nov 4th Ride. We can even ride over togeather.

[JRShaw]

Snowbirds are the reason I'm living on the other coast. Not to say we don't get a few, but not like over in your area. One of our realtors lost a sale because the area we were looking was 65,000 in the summer and 140,000 in the winter (Englewood area). Perfect house, but......................
CYA all on the 4th.

[Tampa Tom]

Snowbirds are the reason I'm living on the other coast. 65,000 in the summer and 140,000 in the winter .

You know the Snowbirds are here when you go to McDonald's at 6:00 PM and there are seven people in front of you and all seven are paying separately for an ice cream cone at $0.99. My guess is...They were sitting around the shuffleboard court just 15 minutes prior when somebody yelled out...."Let's go get an ice cream."

It would be great to have a Meet N' Greet near Tallahassee. Lots of nice roads and I'm sure there are plenty of good spots to stop and eat :-)

Hey, Wayne here in beautiful Lutz. Picked up my DL last week. Twenty year gap between bikes. They've come a long way, baby!

Have had the pleasure of meeting and riding with TampaTom. He's my buddy now! Clicked from the getgo, feel like I've known him for years.

[03ZR7S]

Hello,

I’m new to the forum and to street riding. I’ve been lurking on this forum for a good while and wanted a Vstrom 650 but it didn’t work out and I bought a 2003 Kawasaki ZR7S that I really like. Both of the guys I ride with have Vstroms but don’t ride very often. I keep seeing a silver Vstrom near my house in Sanford near SCC and wonder who it is and if he is on this forum. Sorry for the long post for my first post, but the people on this forum seem to be good people and I would like to find a group to ride with. If you would like to ride give me a shout.

[My Strom]

I have a Gray and black DL1000 06 and live here in Sanford, Middleton Oaks off of Ronald Regan Blvd. I always wear a white helmet and black and gray jacket. I ride every day so that might have been me! Mystrom (Bob)

Clem checking in from Saint Petersburg, I wanted to make myself feel young, so we moved here to Pinellas, have yet to move my parent to Z hills. Been riding cruisers mostly for decades, and tried the wee and really love it. Mine is still a stocker, no time for anything but riding. I want to learn where those Florida Alps are! Hope to meet up with you all in the near future.

Hey Clem...did you sell your VTX. (this is 'Pegs'). You may recall I had gone to a Concours and I've been fortunate enough to make it to a couple of these folks meets and rides. Fun get togethers with all types of accessories for their bikes. Hope to run into you again at one of these rides.

Still have the X as well, I run it mostly when I am doing road trips. I just tried the wee and had to get it. Hope to catch up with you on one of these rides.

[mnparadise]

Greetings from South Florida:cool: .
I was catching up on my reviews and such and found that I hadn't posted to be counted here.:oops: I haven't been able to join the group rides yet but hoping that will change within the next year. It's a ride just to get out of South Florida.
Just bought a house on a lake in Eustis and have some construction to do. Will be moving perm'ly in 2008.(sooner if everything falls into place)
Hoping to make the BBQ for some socializing the end of the month.

[Keith Falkner]

mnparadise,

The State Park Tour starts at Clermont, barely 30 miles from your door, early on Friday March 30. You can find all the details in the thread "2/3 day Florida State Parks ride", in the Florida section.

If you cannot join the ride on Friday, then perhaps you can meet us part way between your home and Sarasota, then stay overnight at Lake Louisa State Park, which again is not far from your home. And if even that is no good, consider attending the feast on Sunday.

You are actually near the center of much of the activity!

Hey all new to forums and new to the VStrom.
I live in Port St. Lucie and I ride a new DL1000k6
Free to ride as often as possible , the only thing is the bike needs to be broken in . Anyone in the area interested in some casual weekend riding let me know .
If your planning a big one and I have the time also let me know , just need time to set things up .

[MOW TOWN]

I live right down the road in Stuart off of Kanner hwy, let me know if you would like to go for a ride sometime. I just bought my black 1000 just before thanksgiving and have already added a lot of accesories so let me know if I can help or give suggestiones.

Hi Ken,

I think we met you yesterday at Publix on Archer road. The Florida group is a really nice bunch. They even don't mind Rick (my Harley guy) joining the ride.

There has been some rumbling about planning another ride. Perhaps a "couples encouraged" ride from Cedar Key towards Tallahassee. Perhaps overnight? Sounds like fun to me. I would love to have some more ladies along.

[toycloser]

I saw the Kawi and knew it was you before I even read your post. Yep I'm always up for a ride (you know that). Now I have to decide what to ride so it takes a little longer to get ready. Give me a call 352-258-1585

[toycloser]

Winnie,
It was great meeting you. I was a little hurried or I would of talked all day (just ask Roy). I should of asked what site you guys chat on. When I found the Florida section here I figured I hit it.

I'm planing on a horse country/istichatta run this Sunday. Roy knows the route (he showed it to me). If that sounds like something you would like to do drop me a email toycloser@bellsouth.net

Sounds good. I'm up for riding that area on Sunday, we can email details. Posted this here in case anyone else wishes to chime in.
Ride fun.

Edit: Sounded good but I can't ride this weekend. Sorry, hope you do and Ride fun. Roy (sent email)

[Winnie]

Ken,

Rick and I are "GO" for Sunday. How about picking a meeting time and place and posting here. Perhaps we will pick up a few more riders.

Too bad Roy cannot make it.

Evenflo76, welcome to our group! hope you can meet and ride with us soon. Pay attention to new posts because there is aways some group ride going on, large or small. (Nice bike! you will enjoy it.) Mystrom (Bob)

[Evenflo76]

Thanks Bob, Look forward to adding many miles to my Wee. I'll probably be traveling out east within the next few weekends. I used to live in Ormond and plan to visit friends, and ride...

[fl_strom]

Howdy,

My name is Marty Stanley, aka Fl-Strom.

I've been wanting to make one of your events, but since I work just about every weekend, it has been hard.

However, we're going out on a bit of a sojurn on Thursday, May 10th. We'll be leaving, at least I think we'll be leaving from the BP station just west of Deland on highway 44. From there, only the Spirit knows where we'll be headed.

I live over in Lake County in a small town called Umatilla. We've lived here going on 29 years and don't intend to pull up stakes anytime soon.

My stable consists of a 2006 V-Strom - DL1000K6, a 2006 KLX250S - which now displaces 331 cubic centimeters, a 2004 KLR650, a 1994 EX500 - which will become the basis for my KLEX500 and a restoration project a 1974 Honda CB350F - 4 cylinder.

At present I am a full time MSF instructor working for a company in Port Orange, Volusia Motorcycle Training. I've worked for several providers in the state, but in my opinion, VMT is the best school in central Florida.

Looking forward to getting out and riding with you next week.

Welcome aboard. I hope that we can meet you on one of our upcoming rides. As you can see by the posts, somebody has always got a ride planned. Might try our 1st Friday Lunch Ride, which will be on June 1st. Keep your eyes open for the time and place.

[Garrett]

Garrett "Gary" Hatch - Palm Coast, FL

Picked up a black '07 1000 last Thursday in Wytheville, VA.

I rode around SW Virginia for a couple of days, changed the oil then rode straight through to Palm Coast.

Just under 800 miles (so many roads, so little time). It would have been several hundred miles shorter but I had to do the mountain route. Also got recertified in rain riding and night time riding in the process.

I may be getting older, but certainly not any smarter.

[toycloser]

Welcome to all things vstrom. Sounds like you had a great introduction to the V.

Look foward to meeting you guys in near future

[Skidmarks]

Another new Wee strom owner, and first bike owner also, for those that know pinellas county area, Im in Seminole Fla.
Im still as fresh as they come when it comes to riding , but I spent about 6months deciding what a good beginner bike would be, and one that would fit my idea of riding, the strom so far seems to be the right choice. Took the MSF course then made my final decision and bought the 07' Grey Wee last week.
Not quite ready for a long ride yet, but I do look forward to the future, and meeting some of you all.

[JRShaw]

Welcome to all of the new Strommers here in the great state of Florida. Check out my post about an event for June. come swin and eat at my place in New Smyrna Beach. PM me or reply to the post. Hope to CYA!!!!!

Hello Winnie:

Sorry I am so late getting back to you. I truly appreciate the invite. I have been traveling a bit lately. I will be in Cedar Key in November (I love that place). My wife likes to kayak, I like to ride so she is going kayaking with her club and I am taking my bike down.

We just got back from Murphy, NC and are going to rent a house there for a year. We are going to buy some acreage in the area and want to spend some time there to be sure we find the right place. The riding in North GA, SW, NC and SE, TN is awesome and so is the kayaking. With taxes and insurance as they are in FL, we are looking to move.

However, I will still maintain a home in FL with only liability insurance on it.

Regards,

RM

Hi RM,

We like to kayak also. We have a small fleet the does not see the water nearly enough. Be sure to give us a shout before you arrive in November and we can arrange a get together involving bikes and perhaps even boats ;-)

We also love North Carolina. We have access to a friend's house in Burnsville (east of Asheville). We usually spend one week up there in the spring and another in the fall. It’s so beautiful but you will never get Rick to move any further North than Gainesville Florida. That boy HATES cold weather.

So keep us posted about your November visit to Cedar Key and we will get together!

Hi Folks. I haven't posted much since this but would like to follow through and get to know some fellow riders and get this scoot dirty. All my riding has been on paved roads since I got my Wee. This is unacceptable. Looking forward to some group rides. Weekends are best for me. I made a similar post on ADVrider in the eastern regional forum under the Central Florida Dual-Sport thread. My user ID is the same over there... Any rides comin up?

[Dread]

Hello troopers :)

My name is Rusty and i live in new port richey, in the trinity area. I was born and raised right here in the bay area.
I recently picked up a black '07 Vee Strom. So far i am very impressed. I also have a 2000 TL1000R and will sometimes be riding that. The missus sports my last attempt at comfort, a 2001 VFR.
I try to ride just about every sunday, if anyone in the area would like to meet for a sunday ride-out, please keep me in mind :)
Looking forward to getting in on some of the group rides! EVENFLO drop me a pm and we can catch a ride.

My name is Matthew and I live in Orange City, FL. I've lived here for almost 12 years and my daily commute for the past nine years has been back and forth on I-4. Two years ago I bought my first motorcycle and now I actually enjoy the ride to and from work. I can count on one hand the number of times I've driven to work in my car since then.

Just picked up a 07 "fast" Blue DL 1000 today. So far so good. Had put 6,000 trouble free miles on a red 06 wee, before driving it to Pennsylvania to present to my son. (I kinda miss the wee already!):) Interested in meeting other North Florida riders for rides/tech, etc. Cheers!
