Black '04 DL 1000 in Norway

[Kaamos]

Hi !
Picked up my brand new DL 1000 last saturday (600 km on it so far).

I've been riding Suzuki's since 97, had a 1200 Banditt for a couple of years and a Hayabusa after that, and now it's the V-Strom. Different from my previous ones, but a great bike so far. The comfort and handling is just awesome.

This is going to be a GREAT summer...... :D

Cheers

Hi Kaamos!
Nice to see a fellow Norwegian here. I was just baffled to see you started riding Suzukis in 97. So did I, on a Bandit no less. I sold it, rented me a Hayabusa for a weekend, and moved to the US. I now ride a Silver 2003 DL1000! 7800 miles after last weekends scenic highway 10 from Jay to Talequah by the Illinois river in OK(lahoma).
I envy you the Norwegian roads, they are like made for the Strom.

Are you by any chance 34 years old as well?!?!

Happy riding.

Hi Gisle !

Sorry for the late reply, I'm on vacation (riding my bike of course :D ) in Norway. 3100km on it so far.

And yes, the roads in Norway are so "bad" that they truly are made for the V-Strom........ Did some riding last week on a couple of islands in the north of Norway (Nord-Norge, Troms fylke, Andørja og Rolla), with very narrow roads with lots of twists and turns, great fun. Highly recommend it if you ever visit the old country :wink:

I'm 35 years old, btw :!:

Ride safe
