    Yeah easy done if you want everything including helmet and Kilm gear it will cost just under a grand less than the cost of a new Tenere ;)

    Reliable :laugh: Faster only if he slip streamed me did he mention that the bastard :laugh: , yeah he got me ;) man that was fun. Nick watched the whole thing, Moose is fast and sneaky on the black winding roads B) :laugh: :pinch: we gotto the pub and laughed like school kids it was great

    Bollocks as for you and that oil spewing german shitbox, you and it combined couldn’t pass wind :P that score will be settled when are all on the hard packed middle of the road and both Teneres aren’t in the drain on either side of the road waiting for old leaky to catch up :laugh: :laugh:

    No he didnt mention the slip streaming :laugh: but he did say something about that little incident going to cost you some money getting the Tenere to go quicker :laugh:

    Not a bad effort from a bog stock DR B)

    Is the nameless one going to fiddle the Suspension

    or are we going full teknik

    It’ll have more Bling than the Ten

    Looking good

    Mick

    Well Mick the nameless one has his shock at Tekniks now because a spring only holds it up. See I think if my dentist doesn’t start fixing engines I won’t do my own teeth ;)

    This one is going full Tekniks why wouldn’t you at just over a grand, both ends revalved and sprung?

    That’s coming later in the story Mick :laugh:

    My rear shock was always going to Teknik just a time thing!! As for the forks revalved and sprung and could’nt be happier with them. If my Dentist fixed engines I would’nt use him he’s too expensive!!

    Against a stock Tenere, your point :huh: We joked but mate I won’t be spending any money on making the Terene faster on the bitumen, I don’t need to go faster than 155 kph :ohmy: (thats all we were doing as Moose snuck past :pinch: ) :P

    For your information we did throttle roll ons and drags etc on high country ride in April on the bitumen and learnt that the Tenere and the DR were evenly matched and infact I had the DR up to 100mph on a downhill into Omeo :ohmy: :laugh: and I outran Moose in the bendys on his bike passing someone around the outside :P

    Back to this project bike I talked Deejay into the DR actually

    New and light, sounds great. We dealt with Jason at Barretts direct, Jason does awesome work makes great full systems and slip ons. Jason is proudly Australian and his pipes are all made on site. how good are his exhausts, well they are used by GHR, team KTM at Finke and the Safari to name but a few.

    Suspension is all out of it now, dropped of this morning will be picked up tomorrow.

    We wired a USB charging port into the system and I will add a 12v plug as well and then it’s finished

    Thanks to Boulder who turned up to go over a section of the Camerons ride with me his help with the tank fitting was invaluable. And lefty for the 600 degree brake fluid and assistance drinking beers and bleeding braked etc

    What about fitting a VSM case saver over the front sprocket. Might save the case in the unlikely event the chain breaks, easier to wash out when it gets really muddy and front sprocket wear can be seen at a glance.
