The V-Strom Picture Thread

Not sure how I missed this thread. . .

A few of my '02 Maroon Strom:

Here is the last photo in Canada (US Border on other side of that curve):

Wow, here is what it looked like at the beginning of this season (without dirt and dust):

OK, so we are into snow up here too:

Enough with the snow pictures!! It's gonna be here soon enough!

I absolutely love it. The beads alleviate pressure points and allow plenty of air flow to prevent monkey butt! I've ridden up to 550 miles in a day with that pad and my rear end wasn't complaining much. www.beadrider.com

Beartooth Highway (Rt 212), located between Cooke City and Red Lodge, Montana.

Finally get to post on this thread Traded my 07 VFR for this bike yesterday. Put a little over 100 miles on it today and think I made a very fair deal.

Congrats! Welcome. I'm in CLT. Let's ride.

Chad bike looks good.

Joe, I want to drive the bike to CLT sometime soon. I dont have a GPS mount for it yet, and driving through CLT without one is not going to be good for me, I have only been through there three times. I have a couple friends that live in the area I want to visit so I will pm you and take a ride!
GG, glad you like it. Told you I was gonna get a Strom Now I just need to get my butt up to the Triad so we can cruise a bit.

Do yourselves a favor and stay as far away from both the Triad and Charlotte as you can.

Pretend that you are running the football and they are both big ugly tackles and the Blue Ridge is your goal line.

Please do let me know when you head this way to visit your friends. And, when you want to split the difference between the bigger cities and head for the mountains as Mr. Banjo suggests, I'll be glad to meet you somewhere.

Of course, for me, EVERY trip includes at least a little Charlotte!

I like the Blue Ridge being the goal line! That is actually a goal, to ride that before the end of the year on the Strom. Maybe the Dragon soon to.

The Dragon. You mean something like this?

At a rest area in northern Illinois. Heading home from a week camping/riding.



Home and 1/2 unpacked

Earlier this year an Inmate in TN sold his Wee in the FM. IIRC it was white and had a Swiss Army logo on the lower portion of the fairing. Does anyone know if that bike is pictured in this thread?

Thanks in advance.
