Qkchk and Qkkid get Dirty

[Qkchk:Me]

Well what would you expect?




Spend some serious $$ today and purchased 2 new DR650s from Haldanes - 1 Black and 1 Blue (surprise,surprise) . Fought over who would have the blue one and of course I let him have it. Funny thing was I thought we were going over just to kick tyres and then the bloody chequebook came out!

Qkkids bike should be ready by Monday Afternoon and not sure if they can source me a 07 or it will have to be an 08 (which I think is going to happen) so I might have mine by the end of the week - Haldanes have looked after us and have done us a very good deal. Looking at getting Gel Seats, Bush Bars, Skidplates and Venturas fitted to both bikes. Hopefully we can get out there and get some time under our belts before the Capital Coast Ride at end of April................

Ya never know, maybe the ATNR will be changing to every second week..............

Welcome to the dark side Qkchk and Qkkid, May the Force be with you

It'll be the most fun you'll have on 2 wheels. Many of you might not be aware but I came from dirt riding. That's why I'm so fucking good.

And very pissed... at the mo

I am actually a very positive person... even though the world is against me.

We're just one big happy family.

EDIT: Never post a serious thread on a Sat night. Drunks like me will ruin it. Great purchase though.

Good on ya!
I went out and bought a trailbike last week to do the CCA ride too.( not as flash as a new DR - just an old KLR - but it should get me around the course and be a load of fun!)

I have 625 kms on the clock and loving it. ... I notice as the engine loosens up there is a bit of a hooligan element starting to show.

Nice pic of your 08 - Do you get a sore arse from the seat? Ive heard rumours the K8 has a better seat....

Funny you say 08.
I bought it as a run out 07 even though it looks like an 08 (registered here as a 07)
The VIN plate has a build date of 9/07 (08 build starts in Oct for Suzuki's) so the 08 fuel tank decals/stickers are odd.

The seat doesn't seem to bad but is firm to sit on.
A 500/600 ride will soon decide,so far it has only been short rides up to a 100 kms.

First mod once it is run in will be a 30 litre fuel tank which should give 600 kms to reserve.

I have to say after only having had road or MX bikes,i should have got one of these dual sports long ago !!!
Like the pic below,you are riding along the tarseal and wonder what is up a sidetrack and just go up it. ... Try that on a TL1000
