    :nod These things are awesome, really really capable bikes but they ride so well you forget how big they are till things go wrong. Then you realize you are riding a 500lb bike.:eek1

    I agree. I rode this bike for about 1/2 mile, if that much. All I could think of was much like a dirt bike it was. There're definitely orange toys in my near future.

    There is still a smoking deal on one at ADS in Ogden. I bet you could get out the door for under 10K with some goodies to boot. Brand new 2007 SE!!

    The pics??? Oh the pics are on someone else's camera as my Japanese-made camera is no longer working to take pictures of my Japanese-made motorcycle that is on blocks. Maybe I can pick you up in my Japanese-made vehicle as long as you don't mind that the air conditioner doesn't work, the windows won't roll down and the trail of blue smoke emitting from the rear.

    Actually, I am just too techno-challenged to download the pics from my camera phone.

    g5long (sp?) took pics this weekend, maybe he will post them.

    Soooo....Hick....Did I miss the post? Have you buried the Suzy or just procurred a SE so you can ride while chasing parts on the DRZ?

    The DRZ status is?......

    While awaiting parts on the DRZ, I kept seeing great deals on the SE. So I bought a new SE.

    I will be selling the DRZ as soon as she is back together and I am sure she is running well.

    The only pictures I was able to save were from the start of the ride. I will post them this afternoon. maybe three or so of the bike... Was a good ride even if it didn't get recorded.

    You bought a bagger???

    "Ah, will that be paper or plastic?"

    Jealousy brings out the dork in me, sorry.

    Really, nice, nice bike.

    Looks like we are going to need a bigger winch!:wink:

    I was, but then got called into work on Friday night. I don't think riding out Saturday, then riding back Sunday will be worth it.
