Great adventure & great report boys!

One question, the DR650 is not a small bike and I know it loaded to the hilt and a bit but you must be pretty tall to have your feet comfy on the ground.

Well done.

Nice pix and words (shame it is in black and hard to read)

Change the font and colour, too hard to read!!!!

Eggroll · 11-18-2008, 11:49 PM

Thank you for the report.
But I could not read it because it was black on black. It really hurt my eye.
Can you kindly change it to white letters or somthing easier for old fart like me to read.
