Why “The Bumble Bee”?

Hello! My name is Michael. I am a husband to a beautiful, wonderful, and very understanding wife; a father to three amazing children who bring us so much joy and get their good looks from their mother; and I am an undeserving follower of Jesus Christ.

I started this blog to share photographs and thoughts of rides that I have taken, and also to share information about some of the modifications that I have done. My hope is that it will help other V-Strom riders (or future riders doing research) in one way or another.

As for the name of the blog – my children affectionately named my 2003 Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom, “The Bumble Bee” when I purchased it. The name stuck, and I am glad it did.

Welcome to The Vee Bumble Bee!
