2007 Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom

Motorcycle loaded down with gear

Bought from the dealership in Mandan--I think it was some sort of consignment thing.

Soon after buying I ordered crash bars and a set of luggage mounts and cases.  Cool big huge aluminum boxes.  I installed all of this on the back patio at Jean's Place in Medora.  I also added heated grips.  It came with cruise control which was a pretty awesome feature to have.

Memorable trips on this include Sturgis once or twice, Tulsa to visit SV Seeker, northern Minnesota with dad and Eliot, and the Saddlesore 1000 ride to Butte, MT with dad.  Also, one time that I rode to Williston to see Simon and it was 40 and raining on the way back.

I sold this to a guy just a couple blocks north of our house in Mandan for $3500.  He was planning to take it to Alaska.
