Hiya guys!

I've just put away my mille for the winter, and it's been one week, and I already feel crap about it - fortunately, I dabble a bit with enduro (and mx) on a Husaberg, so I'm not completely left without a bike. :)

34 years old, used to pour immense amounts of money and time into Impreza turbos, got fed up with it, picked up enduro 15 months ago, got the bike license sorted this May, and I couldn't be happier! :doug

I always wanted a sports bike (love the twisty stuff), but I wussed out and went for something sensible, a '99 VFR800, as much as I loved that bike, the chassies wasn't up for it, felt wobbly and soft - all it took was one go at the Mille, and I was in love. :)

The twin is more or less (a very lovely) perk of the bike. :D

Cya guys!

Hi there

Which part of Sweden ? Got a friend out there who used to work for Ohlins.
He married a local girl and is still living there.
 
Thanks guys! :)

I'm quite close to Stockholm, where Ohlins have their hq (an hour or so from me), through the scooby club I've had the pleasure of doing a tour inside ohlins, nice stuff! :)

Was out enjoying the 'berg - got water in the carb (I think), had to call it a day, went to the garage and had it apart, cleaned it up, adjusted the valves - and enjoyed working on it.
Roadtrip tomorrow, I'm headed for a very nice enduro track in Husaberg country (Laxa...about where they're coming from to begin with).

...I had to give the Mille a pat on the seat when I left the garage. :D

SGM, welcome to the forum.

Nice looking Mille you have there, shame it's not a blue one though!! LOL
 
lol welcome, My 4 year old son has seen your picture and he said I should sell my mille and get one like yours. the motoX one that is.

Got to get him a bike and somewhere to ride asap.
 
In all that light hearted banter I forgot to say welcome to SGM.
Whereabouts near Stockholm do you live? I used to live in Akersbega. (Sorry, I can't find the right key for the proper spelling).
