Still available? My friend wants them… Gillian: 0833993888

Someone must have asked this before: who does lowered footpegs to uncramp the ergonomics on the XR 650L? (Asking for a friend ...) I did it on my DR 650, and it was a game changer. Obviously the stalk-like footpeg bar on the XR 650 is more complicated...

Or consider replacing both with flush-mount indicators...?

Meneer of a bike!

Consider flush-mount indicators , too - to tidy up your tail.

The speedos on both my DR 650 and my Gen 1 KLR have packed up - and in neither case is it a simple matter of replacing the cable... What are the best digital aftermarket options? I really just want something that will record my distance, and my speed?

Looking forward to seeing the result, as i am considering doing the same. My speedo seems to have packed up, and my ignition switch is occasionally faulty. I've got 60,000 ks on the bike. Has anyone else experienced wear in these areas over that mileage? Yourself, Robin, as an owner of several...

Could one hop on either of these bikes right now (after paying…) and ride home - 1000+ kays?

Watching closely ... And, @Ri - are you suggesting that some of us "(older toppies) aren't also capable of "bietjie verfynde geselskap"?

Simple , inspirational plot line - and thoroughly evocative pics ...

Yeah, I was going to ask: how good are those bikes, really? Like compared even to old-school Japanese thumpers like the XR/DR/KLR?

Just cut out the whole existing cable and swage it at the carb.

i've admired Jonny Bravo before - and in the light of the above remark (that you want a WR), and if that entails selling the DRZ, let me know. But for the moment - a general query: how cramped - or otherwise - is the cockpit on the DRZ ? Relative, say, to the XR650L, or the DR650, or the gen 1...

Keen , for a friend. Will call you.

If you’re on the DRZ, despite a couple of phokk-may moments, you’ll basically hoze it …

Back home and online ( power had been off for 36 hours when i arrived on Tuesday 🤔 ). Peter Gage (XR650) and I had traversed some increasingly elusive-to-read wet gravel , the roads wetter as we moved south, slower due to the difficulties, dodging ominously building storms behind and west and...

Thank goodness it is sold. I was agonising over the prospect. Hope you get back in the saddle soon, on something equally iconic.

What bike are you getting?

I’ll be on a DR. Peter Gage will be on an XR ( which is a kind of wannabe DR without an oil cooler … 🥴 ).

Rob - wrt self-catering, own tent participants, it is just me and Peter Gage. The others (loewelife, Rex) have bailed. We’ll pay you in cash on arrival.
