VOLROOM !!!!! Welcome welcome dude !
Guess where I have been today !?
I rode my 1994 DR650 about 400km , a lot of dirt, trying to squeeze the last out the the back tire ...
The sun is setting, and I've just rolled in, dop at hand, bike cooling in the driveway.
Guys, I have to tell you something. This is it. This is the secret. This is the bike. I've owned about 30 bikes. This is the one I love best.
The stock carb is a BITCH. Slap it into shape, and you have a BIKE man.
I've been on HORRIBLE corrugations, tar passes, single track, got lost in Safripol's forests ( shhhh!!! Illegal ) , flat out gravel highway, fought off wind, passed Harley's, wow, what a ride.
This bike is the definitive adventure bike, and do not underestimate what happens between 6500 and 7500 rpm ....you tend to ride at 4000 to 5000, maybe a brisk 5500 .... but there's a DEVIL in there....a rev-happy smooth band of Use and Abuse, that really brings out the dark side of this unassuming machine.
I am going to sue BMW for stealing two good years from me.
KTM , great. Keep yours. Been there done that.
But if you want something different, this old DR will never grow old or stale gents.
The Essence.
Thats what it is !
Ok, let me go refill my brandy now.
*hic*
Seriously, get your bike's RIGHT guys, then we are gonna meet HERE ..... I own this, and I want to summon the Clan. Bring your DR and your tent.
