Well I have been at it again, picked up a new “adventure bike” today from Better Bikes in Sydney. I can’t believe it is 5 years old (2005 model Suzuki Veestrom DL650), 27,000km on it and barely a mark to show for it, it has road tyres on it at the moment but I will have to change them soon enough to get some off road time on it. Still not sure which one I will take to CC though, the DRZ would be more fun but this would be more comfortable.
Kept an eye out for you today Jeffro knowing that you were going down there congrats mate.
As it was I stopped at the pie in the sky on the way home this arvo and bumped into Katgirl on her BMW650. We chatted and we were heading the same way I said I would follow her she goes I dont speed I got no points :ohmy: :ohmy: I know why she has no points :laugh: :laugh: god I would hate to keep up with her when she has points :laugh:
Ride it to the corner Jeffro

:woohoo: nice score there mate!!!
Is the shopping spree complete now ???? :laugh:
Just need to decide now on what to ride to the corner hey? Choices ChoicesCheers
Yeh Eag’s I think that’s about it for bikes for a while now but you never know
.Scotty it does have the standard pegs, no fork brace and as I said before, only has road tyre at the moment. I am not going to rush into throwing some off road tyres on it yet but once I do I will be keen for a ride.
Mid life crisis??????? That’s how I got back into bikes about 5 years ago I think, I just happen to have had some spare cash lately which is not a common thing with me.
We actually called into Pie in the Sky ourselves on the way home yesterday, it’s the first time I had been there that I can remember, we were there around 12.00-12.30 I think.
Went for a bit of a run on it this morning and the screen is a good thing, especially in todays wind, nice and smooth power delivery, comfy seat. Need some bar risers for standing, maybe some grip heaters, also need to work out how to mount the GPS. It already has 2 of the 12 V outlets, one in the front and one under the seat which will be good for keeping the phone charged.
Happy days
