New kid on the block
« on: May 04, 2017, 20:35:41 »
Hi all,

I wanna introduce myself her on the forum. The name is Fred Wansleeben, Netherlands. No special nickname or what so ever. I’ve some old friends her, most of them are Big, Long, Tall and also one is Pink…  ::) .
The bike is not a Varadero, Twin or Crosstouren, but a smaller XL650V Transalp. Big and heavy enough for me to explore the northern hemisphere. I round the world with the bike. Therefor I will never sell that TA.
Hope to learn a bit from you guys and maybe I will meet some of you in real life. Next VIM in Andorra?

Greetings
Fred

The Transalp is a fantastic machine. That is why I have one parked up beside my Varadero. The Honda V-Twin engine is hard to beat.

Hey Fred, wellicht toch eens een Dero overwegen? 😂
Nice to see you here, and as member @ the Dutch TCN you know Transalp raiders have been welcome at VIM for the last 19 years, so the 20th will be no exception!

What brought you up here?
Founder of VIM, that's why I am in!
