DR750/800 owners and those interested

MMmmmm might pay to let me have a ride, you follow behind and watch that exhaust for smoke

If he was riding your Honda how would he get close enough to see

You know I'm just kidding

987 km today.....I was away early, did the usual, including Pureora, National Park and other routes. Found a new road on the way to Kimbolton, that was a nice change. Disappointed in the closed paper roads though around Raetahi. I got the obligatory snap in front of Mum and Dads place.....Stunning day! The DR performs well on fuel economy, that's for sure. Sat on 100-110 kph to see how well she went.

Nope Like a Wok, if you clean it you spoil the flavour mate...This one is gonna get a good coating of dust, a protective layer...
Put it this way, you can spot the leaks if it dirty aye.

Well that is a good run indeed, Usually 650ks and I'm done for the day

Did some calcs on your trip (was easier than doing the actual ride)

Figure you used 50-55 litres of fuel, 2 and a bit tank fulls on 800's 24 litre tank, If you left at 6am spent 11 - 12 hours in the saddle at an average of 80-90kph (allowing for towns) and 2-4 hours stop time you arrived home between 9-10pm (completely knackered)

Not a stalker just into numbers

Would have been a good shake down for DR and obviosly its up for the job

Im inspired and might watch some more riding on TV

Nah, must get down you guys way when I'm freed up in a few weeks (birthday parties and Wedding aniversaries to attend to at the mo )

If you want to you could map out trip for us but I'm guessing you were to busy churning out the mile to take to many pics

I bet he spent it on the Couch

Love it, ridden it once or twice when I can find time. That 1000km blast down south made me like it
Reg on hold now for the winter....unless some pingers come my way, I will not be riding much. Legally riding that is ....

Who cares if'n they're slower ? They LOOK ! way cooler
Tis a bit spendy for one though.

If your meaning my old one then no, I'd tidyed up the back end of mine. It ended up in Te Puke.

Thought I'd let you think you'd gotten away with it
Beside which.... Everybody knows your crackers and blue ones are better

Having owned both I wouldn't be so sure 750 is slower, less thumpy, lighter and more Orange maybe, but slower

Do we know anyone in Nelson as am heading that way in a couple of weeks (would my wife be upset if some Bikie mates visited on our romantic weekend )
