It sems that all the thoughts on a White bike being GAY are diminishing for some reason ????? :whistle:

They always looked awsome and it`s a damn shame they weren`t available in OZ from the start of the model release I reckon

Red powdercoat frame would look the “SHIT” :woohoo:

C`Mon TB,,,,,, DO IT :cheer:

Dampers don`t deflate when you land on them though mate 😆

[Dwayne OMember]

Well I am sold on Dampers after two decent weekend rides with mine on the 690
Don`t consider myself even an average skill rider :laugh: but I can vouc not to mentionh for the extra stability of the front end and ass saving factor late on days 2 or 3 of a big ride

Come to sandy stuff and wind the dial up with a quick flick and rest easy on the way through
Very versatile in all conditions, once you dial it in nad get familiar with the settings, it`s easy as eating a sandwich :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

Awsome looking ride with all those pics guys,,,
Its now on my list too

Thanx

[Dwayne OMember]

Almost as Bling as the White Latte Machine Ace ???? 😆

[Dwayne OMember]

Great report Gav :woohoo:
Geez, you blokes know how to sneak in some good rides on the quiet :laugh:

Nice country and some tricky bits thrown in for poor old Boulder on the big girl too …

Cheers

I have 2 pairs of the Aldi pants one L & one XL. Found them to be fine,, mine have the zippers all the way up to mid thigh and the XL ones have plenty of room for the knee braces. Grest value for the cost really depending on the use you have in mind,,,
Water does wick in after a few hours though :whistle:

Saying that,,, I scored a pair of KTM Rallywear pants to match my jacket and they are a whole heap more comfy and cooler with all the vents etc

I was keen on the KLIM Dakar or Traverse as well prior to that as they are awsome quality as well from all accounts
