Hi from Slovenia

Hi, I am from Slovenia and some of you might already know me from vulcanforums.
For a little more than a year I ride a '98 EN 500. The bike's name is Magnus, so obviously it's a "he". Before I had:
- daelim 125
- hyosung aquila 250
- suzuki GSX 1200
- kawa versys (this is my wife's bike now)
- and I also own an oldtimer, suzuki GSX 400L (beautiful little bike, now being restored).
Of course, it's always obligatory to make some modifications and add some "goodies" to the bike. So:
- had Magnus repainted from blue to black
- added risers and changed handlebar
- had alarm and lighter socket installed
- installed driver's backrest
- mounted GIVI hard saddlebags & trunk (I simply love to keep my stuff safely locked)
That's more or less it. For now...
This winter's project is a "transplantation" of aluminum rims (from EN 500 before '96) instead of spokes. Easier to clean and better looking. Got the aluminum rims cheap from ebay (abt $ 120 for both). That was simple. Now, thanks to Murphy, I expect a lot of problems during the "transplantation". But I will let my mechanic worry about that and prove himself useful. Wish him (and me) luck.
