Good day from cold Netherlands

Hi, my name is Maarten, 50+ and currently I'm owner of my 2nd Stormer. In total my 19th bike over the past 34 years, with lots of Beemers, Yamaha's, a Suzuki T500 and GT380. So decided to buy myself a '01 Yellow crashed bike, beside a F800s Beemer/Rotax parallel-twin. The previous owner of my VTR chooses to run of-road, preventing a kiss with bicyclist, unfortunately... As the local dealer saw no business in damaged bike, the bike was sold via Dutch- Ebay.... Since there are really a lot of VTR donor-bikes circling around, for my a good reason to give the bike a 2nd change.
