Someone buy my bike!

[Crisis management]

Right, to allow a more cunning plan to be hatched wot involves me getting another bike the DR is up for sale, at least it will be once I give it a good clean and put it on Tardme.
However, being incredibly generous by nature I thought it best to mention it on here so anyone lusting after the adventure bike could rush over and relieve me of it. :Punk:

For those that haven't a clue what I'm burbling on about.......

Give me $6,000 ono and I'll give you:
2003 DR650,
15,000 kms,
Cycleworks exhaust,
Dynojet kitted carb & opened airbox,
Aftermarket bars on 30mm risers,
Zeta bark busters,
Givi screen,
IMS 18 litre tank (& stock tank in excell cond),
Re padded seat, more comfortable than stock,
Improved suspension (previous owner did this so I don't have details but it sits higher than stock DR's and works well.),
Bash plate,
X ring chain and sprockets 14t & 15t front with 46t rear all about 3000kms old.
Continental TKC 80's (another 2000kms left in them?)

Great bike in good condition and regularly serviced and in Auckland.

Pm if interested!

Do you already have something hiding in the shed to replace it..... do tell us more

[Motu]

I think they would be much better off buying my DT230 - it will out perform a DR650 in every way,a much superior bike.

no argument from me

what do you think your DT is worth?

[Crisis management]

Nothing hiding in the shed.....yet :woohoo:

Bloody Hijackers! You can have this thread once the DR is sold, clear orf, the lot of you. :spanking:


So, are you actually selling the DT?

[GaZBur]

Don't tell us - you have been seduced by the Dark side and leaving us!?!?!

DR's are hard to replace.

[trustme]

If I buy it, can I pay you when my sister gets a job ??

[cooneyr]

Don't tell us - you have been seduced by the Dark side and leaving us!?!?!

The dark side is very tempting, just a pity you have to sell your soul to get there :devil2:

Good luck with the sale and the pending purchase CM. If I've read the rumor mill right I'm bloody jealous.

Cheers R

Bloody westies, get a real job, go and move some pianos or something.....

This seems to be a common theme, am I that obvious?
I can assure you the next toy will not be painted orange.:shutup:

[Bass]

No, not silver.............

[Oscar]

No, not silver.............


OK...












Red, then?

[trustme]

Nah , it's a black one , one little old lady owner, never thrashed raced rallied or rolled ,pristine in all regards,
well , thats what I've been paid to say .
Us westies gotta make ends meet somehow

[young1]

Don't you mean "anthrocite" and not black.

[Crisis management]

OK...












Red, then?

I've ridden those bloody things and it took 3 days for my eyes to be able to focus again..the DR was silky smooth by comparison, so no, not red.

I'll give you a hint tho, I rode Cary's bike and was well impressed.

[trustme]

Anthracite [ Westies can spell ] :- BLACK coal that burns slowly with an intense heat.

Right about now you must be regretting leading with your chin Crisis.

Is it Barry's I have not had a chance to ask him

Spill the beans

This will teach you to make wild assumptions eh! I'm not saying, off out to actually do some work, back later!


Someone buy the bloody DR, ok?

[Crisis management]

The DR is on tardme now....




I hate waiting.

[dino3310]

ok it's saterday youv'e picked up the new ride,:scooter: no doubt been riding:ride: all day and given it it's second wash.:p
now put up some pics so we can have a drool:drool:

if you havent sold the DR by monday i'll go suss out some finance:wari:

[Wannabike]

I'll buy your IMS tank if you don't sell it! :niceone:

[Crisis management]

Following a resounding response to my ad and for once I'm not actually being sarcastic... the DR has been to sold. Anyone living in the vicinity of Pukekohe should look out for it.

So, the moment you've all been waiting for.......I now have a semi matching pair of book ends! Thank you Barry and yes, you were all correct, I have succumbed further to the dark side


One 2006, 990 with Givi panniers & Akrapovics.


I just need to learn how to ride it.:scooter:

[dino3310]

bloody nice peice of art, you'll have to stop over shooting corners would be a
shame to see her scatched :bleh:

[xwhatsit]

Well I'll keep an eye out for a 990 with a what-the-bloody-hell-is-that-screen going over Pont Maungére!

What's the little PVC pipe thing down the bottom?

[trustme]

Toothbrush holder
That ear to ear grin with all those gnashers on show, it will require a toilet brush to debug them.

[Tony W]

Congratulations on a fine purchase.:sunny:

The new owner of your DR sure has got himself a fine bike.

..I can see your grin from HB...!!!

[Bams]

So are you going to try that thing out on your up and coming 42 traverse detour could be worth the effort to come and watch:clap:

[McJim]

And there was me thinking you had seen sense and were gonna get a Ducati road bike of some description again.

[cooneyr]

... 990 with ... Akrapovics ...

:drool::drool::drool:

[NordieBoy]

:drool::drool::drool:

Don't drool too soon.
We don't know what colour it is yet :D

[Crisis management]

what-the-bloody-hell-is-that-screen

What's the little PVC pipe thing down the bottom?

Cee Bailey screen apparently and the PVC thingie is a toolbox. Further reports on the effacy of such devises will follow...

Embarassed silence type pause......I have got to consider that point now and may well chicken out to preserve the paintwork for a bit longer, I need to have a couple of hours riding on the damn thing first. My fathers day present is sitting in the carport as I clean out the workshop & cart rubbish to the tip!


And there was me thinking you had seen sense and were gonna get a Ducati road bike of some description again.

Unfortunately Jamie, I can't find a Ducati that will do gravel roads very well, I tried the Multistrada but it wasn't going to work. Would have made for some memorable crashes tho!


Don't drool too soon.

Anthracite, Fran, Anthracite. Try and concentrate and keep up.

[tri boy]

My wind surfing mate tore his sail on Sat. Could he borrow that screen please.:dodge:
(I'm jealous as all hell, and sarcasm is my way to vent).
Enjoy the Katoom dude.

[marks]

Congrats - now that you are a fully subscribed euro-trash owner will you still talk to us low end jappa owners?


the PVC thingie is a toolbox.
a close up photo of its mounting would be appreciated.


Embarassed silence type pause......I have got to consider that point now and may well chicken out to preserve the paintwork for a bit longer!
pussy - I'll take my nice semi virginal klr if you take the katoom

So is the TTTT Friday extra bits all off then?

[NordieBoy]

Anthracite, Fran, Anthracite. Try and concentrate and keep up.

Concentrate?
I can't even pronounce Antra.. Anthrk.. That colour.

[offrd]

Oh man i get to do the 42 by myself again......

Bloody soft ktm owners... Grrrrrrrrrr

:argh:

Well not much point in that me thinks.. Unless little bro brings out his soon to be back road legal WR450.....

[young1]

I just caught up on all of this excitement!! You certainly had me guessing with your comment about Cary's bike.

Welcome to the dark side, I will now have to teach you the secret hand shake.

[MXNUT]

Oh man i get to do the 42 by myself again......:argh: Well not much point in that me thinks.

Hi D , i am quite keen to do these tracks. Have quite a few weekends free in october if you are interested in doing it another time.
Could include some tracks around desert rd -tukino - rangipo and make a full day of it ???:ride:

[Crisis management]

Guys, I've started a new thread to deal with friday & the 42 etc.....have a look and let me know what we need to organise.

[Crisis management]

Some crappy photos of the tool holder thingy..it's nominally 100mm dia with screw caps each end and held on with four 8mm (approx) bolts with large washers to the belly pan.
I understand this has been on the bike for quite some time without problems however I would put lighter stuff in here rather than 15kgs of metal.

Hope it helps!

[marks]

Hope it helps!

sure does - thanks for that
Ideal place for spare tubes and tire changing stuff..

Mate, that is Fugly!:2guns:
If it were my bike I would remove it pronto, with an axe!
You shouldn't need to carry any extra tools with a near new beauty like that.
I have just clocked 30,000 km on the 400, and never needed tools once.
Sell it to an anorak on trademe!!!:laugh:

Cheers!

[dino3310]

or soft baits,hooks,sinkers,nylon or braid spools, fishing knife- you know the important stuff.
