The first bike I ever owned, bought it in 2014, nearly 50 years after my last ride in college. Stolen in February, though eventually recovered by the RCMP. However, by the time they found the old boy I'd taken the insurance money and used it to buy Dragonfly, my 2007 Versys. I put more than 40,000 clicks in four years, including rides north to Prince Rupert/Haida Gwaii, B.C., south to Central California, and east to Calgary. It was the perfect bike to get back into the game with, virtually unbreakable. I blogged all the rides here: nomadsam46.wordpress.com.
