North of Bristol mind so not down Devon or the like
I'm a 24yr Golden Oldy and this is my first bike (started late).
Got a K7 '08 SM which I'm really getting into and got ideas of upgrading which I've already started getting stuff ordered.
My restrictor comes off in 2 weeks and on goes the Akra fully which I just got hold of.
Bit of a sort of story behind getting a street legal motorbike being the DRZ SM.
I used to be a biker of the pedal variety, still do a bit but just softer stuff since an off which at the same time put me off DH'ing.
Walked in a Suzuki dealer when I was 19yrs old not really wanting to drive or ride on the road as a motorist. Saw the Drz sm in team yellow/white, it was like love at 1st or something cheesy like that.
Anyway fast forward 5yrs and I want to get a bike, so went off to test ride one which I saw for sale on a mountain bike forum. What a fookin hoot that was, a real eye opener. SO, next day walk in my local dealer and buy a DRZ there'n'then. No b#llsh#t.
The thing with the 2nd hand one was that it had done 22000miles, the engine was literally on it's way out or so I was warned by other's in the know.
No steering lock keys, one ignition key and 2 YES 2 number regs plates, one bolted underneath the other. talk about being kicked in the
and
at the time when viewing said bike.
Tbh for £1800 I thought might aswell get a low mileage good example with all the right papers, warranty etc for double that, rather than being stung without a motor or worse.
Anyway, that's my deal.
Oh and it's good to be here,
ta,
Timo.
