Welcome and enjoy the forum. I just parted ways with my DL650 and I must say that it was a great bike. Comments on its limited offroad capability are true, but if dirt roads are your thing rather than technical stuff - look no further. There isn't a DS 650 around that will stay with you on...

Super cool report. I am a keen fly fisherman so that area is one of my favourites.

Bar some unforeseen hicups :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I AM IN :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Will also leave after work Friday, its not a long haul - we can set up camp and be slightly blurry by 20:00! :ogre:

Greetings and enjoy the ride!

Looks like mine has disappeared in the black hole of lost stuff. One of those things that crop up from time to time. Mr BestRest has kindly undertaken to send me another whilst the investigation is in progress. Glad to see Scalpel recieved his and can give an independent opinion.

Awesome report - to me that's what DS bikes are all about .... sometimes the dirt and sometimes the tar, whatever gets you where you are going. Thanks :D

Hey Boet, you can't bail on us now! Keep the bike, she'll get over it. :twisted: Awesome report.

Thanks LS, awesome report - the stuff legends are made of ...... ..... and I am not just talking about the bike ..... :twisted:

Welsh, you don't know how close I was to joining you. Spent the day instead laying out a new electric circuit at home(one of those things you put off all year until the Christmas break). On top of it all I have been eyeing out that Rankin's Pass for months now on the map. Nearly left on...

Awesome, looking forward to the rest. Those Adventures look mighty fine .... even if I say so myself :D :D

Hey Funa, sorry to hear about the off - glad you and the Mrs are ok. I hope that this doesn't put her off the bike. I have dodged those vendors a time or two myself at the same spot. They are really a pest.

Took my new Adventure for the first service last week - R1 100 later for what was effectively an oil change. She is not going to be cheap :oops:

I have had the topo map for a couple of months now - great aid when planning a route. Unfortunately I can't transfer the maps from my old unit to the Zumo as they are now locked to the old unit - still can use them for planning though and I often transpose the route to Google Earth for a look...

Since I introduced Mr BestRest to the forum, and being a member in good standing :wink: I would say that the comments are somewhat uncalled for. At my prompting I suggested that he join the forum after I had ordered some kit from him. I have searched high and low for a good pump locally and...

We're going to have a little heart to heart this week. Spoke to another guy at work who also bought one. Same problem. I think that they were in a bit of a rush to get the units out and did not complete final testing. You still State side Leo?

No problem. Could you send me the tracking info to my home e-mail? I think you may have sent it to my work address. Thanks

Still waiting, I think that the SA Postal services are probably a bit overloaded over the Christmas season. Mr BestRest is sending me the tracking number so I can check where it is - will keep you posted.

Bought mine at Cape Union Mart - came with Streemaps 1 and the European maps. Since I was at Avnic the unit runs very stable. I am having problems with the "route" function though - it keeps hanging when you access the function on the unit or try and download the route from Mapsource. I suspect...

I use the Supertooth Moto that is available from Incredible Connection, and I see that quite a few of the Cell phone shops are carrying them now. Price ranges from R899-999. I have one for my wife's helmet as well as a wireless intercom and it manages the phone. I have discovered however that...

Greetings Mr BestRest - wellcome to the forum! Ordered mine last week (hoping it'll arrive for Christmas) and I passed on the Wild Dog URL.
