New Toy

[froudy]

Saw this DRZ400 advertised yesterday about a mile from home..Cheap and open to offers.
Had a look at it tonight, made an offer which the seller accepted and I'm picking it up tomorrow. It's a bit tatty, but sure I can sort it all out. Just need to get it fully road registered and then it's hooligan fun time

I did think I was going to dislocate my new hip though as it's a very tall bike to mount

proper hooligans bike and the faster blue and white version

great bikes tho
I'm sure you'll enjoy it

@seth

I think I'll need to make a small step so that I can get onto it...It'll be fun though.
I'll be looking for a nice cheap pair of 17" super moto wheels with road tyres. That'll lower it as well

[seth]

a friend had one with both std and supermotad wheels easy to swop and then great fun on or off road.
they are a bit high tho.
I'msure he sold his spare set of 17" wheels but will ask just incase.

I used to race a DR350E in Enduro's for suzuki when they first came out they were a very good bike .

All your recent posts have been about your inability to get your leg over

I did the Baja and Copper Canyon on one of those - came off a dozen times - great bike in the sand!

Nice one!

I am always on the lookout here locally for something for the forest tracks. It would have been perfect this morning when 3 wild boar stepped out of the woods in front of me!

Hit a minor snag yesterday when looking at some close up pics of the bike. I knew that at some stage the bike had been flipped over due to the tank filler cap being a bit bashed in..I didn't however spot that the subframe has cracked when I viewed the bike
No great problem though as I know a very good ally welder in Bristol luckily.

Also check the frame under the rear fender - that is another place they fracture.

You mean the sub frame or main steel frame Stan?
