DR750/800 owners and those interested

sounds like one of those rides i used to do in my teens with the aid of a little pink pill and a stamp with a smiley face on it
but that was then, now i'm a nana and a full day's riding leave's me knacked, but happy

Oh dear that sounds scary familiar on both counts!

Now all we need is both of us on "go faster" orange & white BIG's!

[Paladin]

KTM orange!

(Well I DO dream of being able to afford a KTM! )

Well at least the Big already has a bashplate, unlike my DR last saturday!

Still now it has a bashplate, am sure I'll be denting something else instead tomorrow, like err, the tank!

Hope you find some crashbars Dino, be nice to keep the Big lookin as sweet as poss!

Hi Guys sorry I forgot this thread was here as been hanging out in other places and at Adventure Rider

Went road racing with DR at taupo on Saturday, stuck an old chieng shin road tire on rear, and jumped out into the novice class once the Dr was finally cleared as they wernt to keen to let me out with the trails tire on the front, it was a lot of fun and I saw 175kph on the back straight,
Any reservations Ive had about its road capabilities have all disappeared now, they flat smoke in the corners much more nimble than those big road bikes,

Gidday BIG's, threads gone a bit quietso how about spilling the beans on what mods you have on the beasty, mine all most 100% stock apart from the xr rear wheel. i have been tempted to do the usual airbox, jets,exhaust etc even thought about flatsides, but figure i should learn to handle her a little better than i do now before i get any more horses, plus i'm finding the current power and set up quite pleasing.
SO WHAT YA GOT

BIG Riders mostly hide at International Big HQ you know that dino,
Have been thinking about King Country ride as possible opotunity to catch up, not so interested the Ride as cant say I want to eat the Dust a hundred Bikes and there probably less likely to want to eat mine, Love metal roads though

it's certainly turning into a very popular ride, my brains gona overload trying to remember names. its a shame James couldn't come up for it, just me and Nooles to represent the BIG's. i'm looking forward to the 42nd and Fishers on the BIG.
will just follow the sound of the roaring Nooles if i get caught in the dust storm.

I may only be there on the DR650 but will be enjoying seeing the BIG's in the flesh guys since I almost ended up owning one!
