New V-Strom Owner Houston Area

[drfood]

This past Saturday I purchased my first bike. After many months of looking and looking I finally found a bike to suit my wants/needs. It's a V-Strom 1000 2005 version. It does have an "ADV" sticker under the inspection sticker so I am assuming the previous owner was on this board some.

I bought the bike from Alamo BMW and was told the owner traded it in on a K1200 type BMW. The previous owner lives in the Odessa, TX area per the sales manager.

If the previous owner of a Blue 2005 V-Strom traded in at Alamo BMW happens to be on ADV Rider.com please contact me. I would like to know as much of the history of this bike as you are willing to share.

My e-mail is darrell.gerdes@gmail.com

If you're a V-Strom owner and have hints/tricks please give me a holler.

Finally if anyone has a 2005 V-Strom owners manual they can scan or know of a link please let me know. The owner's manual wasn't with the bike when I bought it.

Thanks.
Darrell

Anyone know the former owner of a 2005 V-Strom 1000 that traded it in at Alamo BMW recently please give them my contact info. I purchased the bike and would like to know about its history.
