    From a DR to a DL perhaps?

    Looking at getting one of these...

    I have even bought an airfare one way to pick it up and haven't won the auction yet...
    The price was too good, $55.00 to CHC from AKL.

    Fly down, camp out in his garage, put on the GPS and ride....
    So...come the new year I might be the proud owner of a DL1000, all kitted out ready to ride with a chest of new spare parts as well.
    It will be a plane, trains and automobiles episode getting there from Te Aroha, then it will be a long way home.....taking in a few days of scenery.
    I looked at these tall bikes back in 2002 when they first came out. I liked them but they looked rather bare...This one doesn't.

    Yes I know...I have spoken to him, and yes, it has history but only with one owner...
    Yep, read his book too and if I win the auction I get four copies of books to read on the way home....
    He will autograph the change of ownership for me too...

    GPS and mount on the bike...

    Take it away anyone.....
    Nothing wrong, fresh Warrant of Fitness. Plenty of tyres and a cool GPS thrown in, with a Touratech mount!
    Making room in the garage for a DL....

    Saturday morning...

    Mounted the GPS and Touratech mount to the cross brace. It looks good. Disconnected the driving lights and the heated grips from battery.
    Not going to need these for summer, so will sit under seat until colder weather arrives.

    For sale on Trade Me...

    I finally got round to it. The KTM sold in days, the DR has loads of interest but not ridden by any potential buyers...

    It still lives and is coming home to a garage near me....

    My DR800s is coming back home to me and I am going to keep it
    Due to unforeseen circumstances the previous owner has to sell it, so I bought it....
    He has only done approx 500 km on it, so all good as far as I am concerned.

    Yes, getting that way mate, so I will bring the trailer over and park that there. Then there is room for the 3 Generations of Suzuki!


    The bike was picked up this morning, I got her home and cleaned her, patted her and gave her a little once over...
    Looking good and just as I left her, apart from the side-stand switch isolated (good thing) and the flood lights on the engine bars removed...
    I was going to remove all of those things anyway as all of those electric farkles plays havoc with the charging system in as much, it don't.
    Hence flt battery when riding!
    Heated grips are now plug and play when required, the GPS will be wired and that's it.

    Perhaps Dino can look after one of them...?
    I think it is part orange too, so it must have at one stage re-incarnated a front end off a MXC..

    Once upon a time I did, but no more..
