    is this the long lost DRZ you previously owned and were fortunate to track down and buy back recently??

    what year/mileage is the 625
    I'm presuming its a 'harder edged' 640e ?

    nice looking bike

    Er...let's not go into the wisdom of acquiring the DRZ...


    It is "harder edged" - i.e. more powerful, taller and quicker steering.
    It's on '06 done 6k.

    Do you race Oscar? If so this is your race bike? Or a second bike to putter around with? Or you just couldn't go past it in the shop

    Got it done.
    Turned up some spacers but unfortunatly the chain dosn't run in the middle of the guide so I'll space the whole lower guide over 3-4mm.

    (slightly) Dont have a metal lathe but my old man is into wood turning in a big way. He had heard that you can turn alloy on a wood lathe so we gave it ago in the weekend for the tail plate spacers. Worked a treat with no damage to steel tools or anything.

    Bets are on for how long the rollers will last with all the crap that they will accumulate

    Ahhh...
    But being rollers the crap will be more likely to fling off...
    There's quite a buildup of gunge there from the scottoiler that should no longer happen.

    My little metalwork lathe can also be used for wood

    Well done Nordie. Tinkering sometimes is more fun than riding -well only on these cold days & nites.

    You got that right



    Oh I also went up the Maungatapu this afternoon. The track is clear to the summit now
    How it can be that cold at the summit without snow is beyond me.

    Anyone want to go for a night ride?

    It's a bugger when the only road to town is blocked like that

    Finally got a hairline crack up near the header flange.
    Surprised it's taken this long really.
