Lekker-looking boney, @Grunder. You already have tank, bashplate and pipe sorted. Ready for the long road!

Use an old pair of (sheepskin) slippers sewn together, and custom fitted to your saddle.

Absolute beauty.

We want pics! From all angles. And regular updates on what you do to it, and which trip you are preparing it for...

Also looking forward... AND very intrigued to hear about your unicycle trip! Tease us with a pic or two.

This is a grand ride report, with you @JonW maintaining your usual standard of excellence, and you @BuRP revealing a literary penchant (in the comment immediately above - notable for its segueing between formal and informal style; as well as its laconic , self-deprecating philosophizing ) that...

The boney looks stunning in its luggaged mode. Being a soft luggage man myself, and a minimalist in that respect, I’m very intrigued by your setup : what Givi kit is that? And of course, very compelled by your thoughts on a trip. Get the old man on board! I’m an even older ballie myself, and I...

If you suddenly get a flood of offers, re-direct at least one of them to me ...

Thank goodness it’s sold. I’ve perused this ad many times, and nearly considered suggesting some sort of trade for my DR ...

@JonW - what Pass is that?

Fully up for another one! It’s a long way to go if you’re just going for the objective of the technical rides - but we were in for the journey as well, taking 5 days to get there, camping along the way, and riding as much gravel en route as possible. And you don’t have to ride technical when...

What’s the new price on these bikes?

What has been your best consumption on a trip - and thereby the range of your tank when full?

Very lekka travelogue, thanks. I like your unpretentious, yet heartfelt enthusiasm for everything that being out there on a bike invites...

Or that your rider gear wasn’t ATGATT enough ....

6000 kilometers, or 106,000 ?

Standard pipe?

I rotate between a gen 1 KLR and a DR 650. I’ve put 45,000 ks ( mostly gravel and just about always with luggage for camping) on the DR, bone-stock except for a big tank. I have yet to use a drop of oil , between oil changes , in all those kilos. I’m still running on the original spark plugs. I...

I know those roads (after you left your boet) so well ... and while you are clearly used to much more technical riding ( from your copious RR’s), there is something about being out there alone that (despite your skillful understatement) you capture so very compellingly. Riding solo in the...

DR is a winner if you’re not into performance - just bomber reliability and minimal maintenance. Absolut kanniedoods ... Just ask @Ri , or @P.K.
