Hi, I`m a old fart as far as my kids are concerned :old: , and most days i feel it. Been married for 24 years to my lovely wife Sue :angel: , have 3 great kids, and I twist spanners for a living. I started riding about 40 years ago. raced enduro as a teenager, had a bad smash at 18 (headon with a datsun ute, me on a ct125,wrote the ute off), moved to road bikes when I was able to walk again. Had a break for about 8 years, then bought a vtr1000, swapped it for the DR 20 months later. Best deal on a bike I ever made. I ride a bit of everything and the DR does it all. It`s been farkled a bit since I got it, most of it while it was still under warranty. Love this bike.
