Hi everyone!

I recently got myself a 2009 V-strom, after having ridden old motorcycles for years. I have owned a K100, R65, GTR1000, GT550, XJ900f, VF750a.
The common denominator: They're all old and have a shaft drive. :p

I don't have a license to drive a car, so motorcycle all the way, and public transport (which is very awesome here in NL)

But yeah, modern brakes, suspension and frame makes a hell of a difference, so I'm more than happy to make the transition to a modern bike. :)




Some other things:
Photography is one of my favourite pastimes (Trouwfotografie en Fine Art door Patrick den Drijver - Home), I occasionally do weddings, but most of the time it's fine-art photo's, often starring pretty women in dresses:
My girlfriend is a very willing and awesome model, which makes things very easy as well. :)



For a living I teach kids science, physics and biology (middle school/high school) and in my free time I love to read sci-fi, hang out with friends playing boardgames, Go, or miniature wargames.

Welcome Pdendrijver, I am quite fond of your country/people and count myself lucky to have spent some quality time in the Netherlands! I was mostly on the east side in the Almelo/Hengelo area.....one of my weekends there by myself I rented a bicycle and went all over the place - very nice! Safe travels to you.

Welcome to the forum, Pendrijver. I'm My dad came to the USA as a kid and only made it back there once. I haven't been there yet but it is on my bucket list. Congratulations on your attractive Strom and ladyfriend. There's lots of information in this forum and some real experts on the bikes here to help with any questions you may have. Enjoy the ride. Bobby (Vergeer)
