A Thank You!

[Paladin]

Just wanted to say "thanks" to all you guys & gals who have helped me with advice and suggestions along my decision making ride to trading up from the KLX250S to a bigger bike.

And "thanks" to all of you for your kind comments & encouragement after (finally!) getting the DR650 today - really appreciated it!

See you on the road - or preferably off it!

(ok that's your lot - I'll be back to my normal cheeky, sarcastic bastid mode tomorrow, heehee!)

(actually I'll just be in drooling at Toppys mode tomorrow!)

And YES I do have good taste but unfortunately questionable decison making skills having taken the Black Beast offroad with no bashplate today - what a numpty!!!!

Hang on a minute, Tony has a DR - a dual purpose super moto!!!!
Cheeky git! But thx for the good wishes, much appreciated!

These are words from a wise wise man

At least KLR's have plastic bash plates whereas DR's have plastic sumps.....

[junkmanjoe]

it is a little worry just how thin the bottom of the engines are, not much down there at all.
to look at the damage to paladins bike, its more of a graze than a direct hit, very interesting...

[Woodman]

can they be welded ok without taking the engine apart????

At least our exhausts aren't noise pollution on wheels!

[young1]

New bikes are always fun, what colour did you get?

[Paladin]

It'll probably get a pretty little patch welded over the teensy weensy hole, so yeah.

[marks]

not much down there at all.

are you talking about Dave or the bike???

just cos you brought a blunt pen knife to a gun fight - call that weeny thing an aftermarket exhaust???

I'll take the baffle out and see YOU on main street at high noon!

[junkmanjoe]

my mate works at the alloy boat builders, he did some alloy cast welding on my XR600 side case, so i guess he will eather fill the hole, smooth it out, or place a small patch over hole and weld around it.

and i think a new skid plate wont go a miss eather... aye dave.......
