Introducing Harry

[bart]

My DR was called the Stealth Bomber. It aint stealthy, but it is a bomb.

[wysper]

Have you started farkeling yet?

Start with a loud pipe, that way you won't be able to hear third gear breaking up :-)

eerrr what is farkeling - and yes I will definitely have to look into another pipe.. hopping of the v-twin this bike sound virtually silent.

I have a DR 650, designa yello, called Suzy .. she is a chick cos I don't ride boys.

.

I did consider that line of thought in naming the bike harry - cheesy yet slightly dodgy line alert...
but the only lady I ride is my wife.

(notice how that line is both sweet but insulting at the same time... there is a certain skill in that)

my bikes called PIG

im a piecies and i like alcohol

LOve it - and a plate to match.
I am a pisk-ees too.

Thanks all for the welcome.. hope to see some of you on the gravel soon... preferably with the wheels still under me most of the time!!

Hi All.

I have taken the plunge and traded my SV650 on a 07 DR650.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo! not the SV! Its such a great machine Seriously though, you still took on a Suzuki, so guess that's ok Nah, good on you. Certainly different style of riding - You will have fun for sure Good one

[wysper]

Have you started farkeling yet?

Def not going to be doing that to Harry

GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!

Most of us started on DR's, KLR's etc but then soon realised we needed a real bike.........

My XR650R's name is XR

Me your friend

[Owl]

Shit, I just saw "Introducing Harry", last post by Cary and thought isn't Harry Cary suicide by sword?

[wysper]

Thats brilliant. 10 points for you sir.

Welcome to you Sir wysper and your steed Harry..

i too started on a basic version of Harry,

but soon turned it in to a safari slut...

we had a lot of great trips, madness, bog holes, slippy clay tracks, lengthy hiway trips to murder ya arse checks....

but i left the clan of the Dog rooter, and have been shamed for my sins.....

but on many of a gathering of riders, ive dribbled and drooled over the mighty sight of the KTM 950 Adventure...
.ive been pushing my boundary of insanity, in some of the places ive taken the beating heart of the V twin...
i have new respect for my Austrian beast, she has thrown me off twice now, as i have up set her in places i have pointed her in...

Im still learning Her ways and gaining her trust..

My KATEY M


hope to cross gravel with you some day

Welcome Harry & rider.

I don't know about this KLR vs DR argument, but I know they are both wrong.

[nothingflash]

I just googled it too to see why you wished you hadn't.

Thanks for that

[Woodman]

just googled farklling as well. Fcuk that

[Padmei]

you mean the obscure contact sport with KLR riders with cut off hockey sticks & DR rider with gym shorts & eggplant?

[wysper]

I am beginning to understand that the KLR riders need any advantage they can get over the DR Side.

[wysper]

hope to cross gravel with you some day

Junkmanjoe & 9fIDY

So is that was a DR becomes when it grows up?
