oldgrappler Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 What does my Christmas present and Rabbit Hash have to do with one another? Well, I knew I couldn't count on Santa Clause this year, with Covid and all, so I acted on my own behalf and bought myself a 2012 Suzuki V-Strom 1000. I've been wanting a new-to-me bike for a few years now and so I decided to make it happen, sold off some stuff from another hobby, and got the cash I needed to make the purchase. I bought the bike on December 11. I've not been able to ride it much since, but today, January 4, 2021, some time off and good weather coincided so I got it out of the garage, geared up, and went for a ride. It was my first ride of the new year. Forty-two degrees Fahrenheit and sunshine made for a very comfortable ride. It is kind of a cliche' around here, but I wound up down at Rabbit Hash. There were a couple of other bikes there... a Honda and a Harley. A couple of locals had stopped by the store and were sitting on the porch drinking beer and shootin' the breeze. I did not partake of the brew but did chew the fat for a bit. Very enjoyable. This is my first vtwin and I'm enjoying the torque. Here's a couple of pics, one of the bike and one at Rabbit Hash.
