Hi all, Just registered on the site. I was a member of SDSC back when it first started, I think? I sold my KLR to buy a sport tourer, which I still love ( Honda ST1300) but always missed the DS part of my life. Anyway, this July I was able to scrape some money together to buy an 01 DR650 here in Regina. I struggled a bit with the choice between the DR or another KLR but the lighter weight and slightly better off road ability of the DR offset the longer range of the KLR. I still have not so fond memories of pulling the Killer out of a mud puddle! My bike has a lot more history than I do. It's been to Alaska and has been extensively farkled with some very nice bits. I suspect that it is far more capable than I am! So here I am, pretty much a newbie but looking forward to getting out with you, especially in the Regina area. Zaphod. |

Thanks. Good to be back and looking forward to meeting some of the Local riders. I have to be in Saskatoon pretty much weekly so am giving some thought to how I can bring the DR with me. |

Welcome back Zaphod... did we ride together on one of the early Saskatoon/Regina rides a few years back? |

Cool, I think I remember that... it was at least 5 years ago. Were you riding a green KLR? |

Yep. Did a trade for a mint ZR7-S. Rode it for a couple of years then bought the ST13. I was in Saskatoon today, picked up a pair of alpinestars at Rec Supply. Going to try and get out this weekend and get them dirty. Heading out to Calgary on Thursday, meeting a couple of friends then blasting down to Eureka,MT on the ST. There's some great sport riding around the area and the Silverado motel in Eureka is cheap enough with a great bar and restaurant. It will probably be the last trip on the ST for the year but I hope to push the season with the DR. I have a trailer and a good truck so will drive to ride if necessary. My wife and I were in Rapid City over the May long weekend and saw four guys with DRZ's? From SK. I can definitely see that in my future! |
