V-Strom!!! Nice, dude! This is also the next bike I'm considering. I'm basically copying you. Haha. However, it will be a while before I can ride again given my move. I actually just sold my SV and the buyer is picking it up tomorrow. I'm sad to see it go, but I can't take it with me. However, it's nice seeing this buyer very excited about his first bike.
Copycat! haha it's a very capable bike, and so much more comfortable than the SV for longer rides. The only issue I have is some wind buffeting at certain speeds. I'm trying to figure out the right windscreen adjustments to make it go away.

After having me store it for nine months while they RV around the country, my parents [finally] decided to sell their SX4. I only had it listed a week before someone snapped it up for $7500 as his daughter's first car.

More buying and selling updates from me.

I picked up a Triumph this past autumn from a guy cleaning out his garage. I've been dreaming about this bike for about six years so it was about time and well worth the wait. What a ride!

Because of that purchase, it was time to list the SV. Unfortunately I just don't have time or space to manage three motorcycles. I sold the SV a few weeks ago to a guy buying it for his wife so they can ride together. It was sad to see it go, but I'm glad it went to a good home.

Racking up the miles on the two-wheeled Suzuki. The goal is to hit all five Utah National Parks by moto this year. It is a seriously comfortable long-distance bike, my most recent two-day trip to Arches and Canyonlands was just over 600 miles. I wouldn't mind a cupholder though ;)

Super jealous over here.
When I went camping at Joshua Tree a little while back, I saw a guy in a campsite with an adventure bike. I need in on this. Soon.
