Hey I know you're probably doin a mad run down the dune but that's giving me a mental image of a bike with front wheel dug deep into the sand just off left of shot and you somehow catapulted over the top!

Being a DR650, that would be the beast from "The Land That Time Forgot" I guess!

Here it is for me. Tent, roll, and a bag full of piss. Who needs panniers.

Nearly as old as the design of the DR650 then!

(Bet you a tenner if I buy a DR, next year they'll come out with a new super modern lookin machine just to piss me off!)

You just used the bike you had back in the eighties. Pic is of a BMW R100s?, Ducati Pantah, and Suzuki GSXR750 at the top of Danseys pass after the brass monkey rally in 1986.

That was before the marketing men got us! Now we've gotta have a special "dual purpose/adventure bike" or we're not doing it right!
