Got my new bike today!

[Major Softie]

. . . I raised up the suspension on my DR400 because it had been lowered by the previous short owner. Yes, I have a 28" inseam, but I have toes, god dammit.

In the dirt, I just can't ever stop.

Well, you can stop............

P.S. Thanks for the image, Major. Made me smile.

It does have a Laugh-In feel to it, doesn't it?

[Zombie Master]

Well yes, she'll have to accept this pretty young bimbo, won't she.

And I guess that in the fullness of time the language barrier will be overcome and they will come to like each other to some extent, much as a wife and mistress will, in rare instances, find solace together. They have a common enemy, after all. The Airhead will thrill to stories of high revving, close tolerance, fuel injected performance. The Suzuki will be awed by the Airhead's experience and force of personality. And they may have a lot to laugh about.

In reality the DR is an old, new bike. not fuel injected, not high revving. I guess that's why I bought it. Nearly 30 year old design. Simplicity.

This is apparently normal for a DR.and causes no problem. How far from my R90 is this?

Ah, there I go, jumping to conclusions again. Actually, a mate of mine has 400 and a 650 DRs but I've never looked all that closely at the workings. Pretty good bikes - he seems to get along briskly on both of them. I did see him and his 650 get blown right across the road by a sudden gust of wind. He is very tall and he and the bike represent considerable sail area.

I've been pushed into the oncoming lane a few times, often on bridges. I'm quite wary of that
