Title: New bike!
Post by: Leon on August 05, 2008, 23:32:47 PM
Put a deposit down on a 2005 DR-Z400E this weekend, will be picking it up once my gear gets delivered :)

2005, 5000miles (mainly road), new knobbys, new heavy duty tubes, bashplate, barkbusters, very clean, just been serviced - $5,500 (about 2.5K pounds).

Should keep me entertained for some off-road enduro riding while Im stuck working in Sydney and then take me up the coast once Ive finished :)

Want to do alot of singletrack and a 650 would of been a bit big and heavy for that... would eat up the road and fire trails tho :)

Well its now very dirty and so is all my gear so they match as a nice brown colour :P

Im broken all over, every muscle feels pulled and Im covered in bruising. It was a damn good 8 hours out in the forest getting very lost on small single trails and big f**k of rock areas. Didnt get many photos but ah well, plenty more to come :)
