garvinzoom Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Sharp, I like it! Ready to get it filthy on the gravel and fireroads?Yeah, need to get a better feel for gravel though. It feels strange on a bike, I love tearing down some gravel roads in my car though...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBWalker Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Nice ride! Love the white with silver rims, that's the best looking scheme the Stroms have ever come in. When my Vee's paint is due for a re-shoot, I'm doing white and having the black rims bead blasted.be sure to paint the front fender and front fairing too so peeps wont think you ran out of paint.

The back WILL move around, but keep the front pointed where you wanna go and it'll track.The throttle will bring the back back to traction through the turns if it breaks loose.

garvinzoom Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well, not so new anymore but thought I would put up a few new pictures. Did some more loose gravel today and still cant get the feel, it is better though....never had a dirt bike so that is probably part of my problem. Crowned roads with gravel are fun also...lol.Since the last pics I have added the GIVI crash bars, skid plate, Hepco & Becker racks and luggage, adjustable windscreen bracket and possibly some other things...These pictures were taken at the Tri-Valley wildlife area. http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/wild_resourcessubhomepage/WildlifeAreaMaps/SoutheastOhioWildlifeAreaMaps/TriValleyWildlifeArea/tabid/19975/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
