WOW... I just bought my first V-Strom to use for my adventures... did not even know the "cult" following that existed out here in the "inter-webs"...

I have been riding and owned motorcycles since 1973 (age of 6)... I am 56 now and I am just "restarting" my life again.
The pandemic wiped out my life, but it is an opportunity to start over and build a life I choose to live... so ALL is good.

I am building a custom camper / RV, taking a motorcycle and traveling across the United States for the next few years. Maybe even do some foreign travel as well... I just started another Youtube channel to share the adventure. Its early!

The first big "find" was the perfect bike to have for the traveling... you guessed it. V-STROM DL650!

Here is my first video on the new travel channel...

Meander Life

I look forward to learning the "tricks and secret handshakes" of owning the V-Strom!

Welcome to the forum, Meander.

Welcome from south of you in Arkansas.
Welcome from SoCal, @MeanderLife!
I traveled out of a van with the V Strom 1000 for about a year, suggest you consider the Pit Bull Trailer Restraint System. Here's a short vid of how I employed it inside the van ... makes life easier on you AND the bike. Total package was about $400+, modified/installed it myself - 1 person job. The bike featured isn't the V Strom but I don't think it matters as far as making a suggestion for you to consider.
Good luck with the meandering life!

ps - subbed!

Thanks for the info @PlugnPlay! Looks pretty secure...
I am leaning towards converting a cargo trailer into a camper, or building the whole thing specific to my application...

Thank you for Subscribing... should be a hoot!

Thank You, thank you...
Looking forward to the future...
Welcome from New Mexico, Meanderlife. I watched your first video (I'm a fast-forward guy when watching youtube videos) and spent a little time watching while you rode. Very nice camera-work!

Awesome @14ozarkstrom ! I am in Thornfield. Looks like I do not have the post requirements (newbie) to send any PMs yet.
