ahahahahah daddy just came home

options are:

1. replacement bike, title is the same as the first one (ie financed). no choice of dealer but choice of colour

2. insurance pays off amount up to agreed value of bike (7.5k) off the contract and we field the rest


guess i'll be back on a hyo in a couple of weeks

graney etc, is a xr400 comparible to a drz400 because i do have an appreciation for good power delivery and torque
Yes they're comparable.

You compare them and the XR is worse. idk, never ridden them like wolliemc, but it loses on paper racing, lots less power than the DRZ.

Such a shame because the XR400 motard is much more my style, but you can't actually buy one because I'd be sad about what I was missing.

The difference is probably negligible if you only ride on the dirt, old XR's are kick only where DRZ's are electric, that alone is priceless.

Unrelated to motorcycling, quik, azamakumar, other sydney cyclists, I am going on this, the coming weekend.

City of Sydney Spring Cycle

"Experience the thrill of riding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, pedalling through some of Sydney’s most beautiful scenery, and then celebrating your ride in festive style at Sydney Olympic Park…"

Should come, get fit etc...

it says 40 or 50 with an extra loop at Oly park.

Edit: just checked google maps, wtf it is only 20 km. Maybe they mean both ways? Idk.
