ought ten posted:Great shot. What swayed you to the DRZ from the WR in the end? Thanks! I decided it was more important to me that the bike had some go, and the mods on the DRZ appealed to me (even the skulls grew on me, sorry man!  ) It's got an aftermarket pipe that is stupid loud and backfires on decel like a machinegun, and 50/50 aftermarket rubber that's kinda nice. The WR was bone stock where the DRZ had a ton of character. I figure when it comes time I will spend the money to mod the suspension, which was the one area I felt the DRZ really lost ground to the WR.

Sounds like you made the right choice, but I'm sorry to hear your taste is as bad as mine.

Window washers were here at work, so I had to move out of my usual spot.

  Ain't nobody dope as me.... I've also been meaning to share my buddy's dad's Oldwing that he fixed up. He bought it naked and brown and not running, cleaned up or replaced most of the fairings, added on the luggage and arm rests then painted it himself. I think he said he had a couple more fairing pieces for the front that hide the motor and now he needs to paint them as well. I took these pics a few drinks in at a party and at dusk. They suck, so I need to go take a few when it's nice and bright out so I can at least get decent phone pics.

Sorry, I might have got some drool on your bike. I was at Lelles this friday to pick up a set of oil filters for my 640 and I remember seeing a 690 parked in that spot.

Bought my first bike this week after getting my learners licence a couple of weeks ago. 2012 Yamaha R15.  Trailered it home this afternoon.  I wanted to ride it but I was told 40km worth of peak hour traffic probably wouldn't have been good for its first ride. So I rode it around town in the dark and put 100km on it after trailering it home. I absolutely love the bike. I think I'm hooked.

When I bought my first bike I picked it up from the PO in the middle of Sydney AND, at 4pm, on a Friday afternoon. My house is only about 5km from there but needless to say out was one of the more terrifying rides I've ever done.
