Hello and thanks to everyone on the forums. All of your posts and discussions, even the repeated ones, have made buying and owning a vstrom once of the best experiences for me.

I think I am one of only a handful of Michigan stromtroopers. I have been riding the new 2012 and loving it. Its near impossible to state the improvements coming from a 1991 Ninja 600.

The bike has been down to South Carolina via BRP/Dragon already. Can't say enough good things about it, or the stromtrooper community. Thanks again.

Hello from Michigan as well!
