Jeff and his new Suzuki V Strom 650
Our day started off with much anticipation. The previous week my buddy Jeff procured himself a “new to him” Suzuki V Strom 650. I think the adventure riding bug has been nagging at him and he has decided to give it a go! Plus, he says "He doesn't want to go faster, just be able to get further in a day."
