DR750/800 owners and those interested

[10bikekid]

G'day Mark. How's life on the other side of the ditch?
I had wondered where you had got to and robmoto said you had been banned from the Adv site. I'm still trying to figure out how the man who got the site up and running got banned from it. Never mind, the main thing is you're alive and well.
Cheers.

Yer not to bad over here, been a lot going on and coming off an injury that has kept me off the bikes for about 5 months (frozen shoulder done by front flipping my dirt bike )

DR blew its gear box on my first ride back so is in shop at moment and I've had to slum it on my KTM and a Honda CB1000 I recently bought (first big 4 I've owned since the mid 80s)

In regard to ADV issues, had nothing to do with DR thread but have had a thread running in JM which was a bit controversal and the Mods had been tring to push me out for sometime now, so I thought it was time to give them what they wanted and bow out (unfortunately it shut me out all the ADV threads but Im pretty busy else where so thats how it had to be)

Anyways prefer real life and things more local now days so all good

What you been up to ?

Shouldn't make fun of a typo, eg: 1998 dr750 when the idiots in Transport in West. Australia had me lisence my 1991 DR800 as a '2010 CUSTOM MOTORCYCLE.' No jokin' you blokes. True story.

Mark, things are O.K. Just sold my DR750 to pay for a 1995 Yamaha XV1100 Virago with only 32400 klicks on it. It needs nothing doing to it as it looks and runs like new. Very happy with it.

Cheers.

True but I'm at peace with my oldness

Thanks for doing all that stuff at ADV for me, maybe one day I will catch up with them all again

PS, how is your mate going with His DR650 bigbore (780 kit) sounds like a good option.

Well its about time this Old guy went to bed then

Dunno, lot of work in the DR to make it look like an Africa twin. Right thread?
