I see your poor old airhead is hiding her head. Is that grief or shame?
Acceptance.
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.

I will stick to finding dirt roads that my plastic-covered street bike (or should I say "I") can handle.
Congratulations!
Don't wuss out on high seat bikes. 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.

Nice bike you have there, I don't know if your model has the top chain roller or not but if it has it is suggested that it is
a good idea to remove it. We haven't removed it on Alison's but I noticed when fitting new chain and sprockets that it
aint there any more.
as you can see it's not there
A bit out of focus but you can see the hole left from when it was ripped out.
Seems that lowered, loaded, full suspension travel and/with WOT all contribute, anyhow you can read more
here.http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/436077 ... ler-dr650/

I hope this info is helpful to you.
Cheers
Thanx bob! I have read about the chain roller and will remove it as one of my very first operations on the bike. I'll fill the hole with a stainless screw.

In the dirt, I just can't ever stop.
Well, you can stop............
P.S. Thanks for the image, Major. Made me smile.
