First service out of the way, countershaft oil leak fixed, time to push this baby a little harder & see what happens...

🤷

Look, I did go harder, despite damp roads & rain, but umm... I still only passed run in rpm once, briefly, & I had to do it deliberately. I'm beginning to think that this bike has much more get up & go than I need, yet it *happily* tools along at Oz speed limits. So... It's just what I wanted. 😎

Dadaah! I've only done around 50km so far, including about 15-20km of pretty easy local dirt.

I loved how easy and natural it is to gently lift the front wheel off small ramps - the #DR650 just laughed at my feeble attempts. 😂

I was pleasantly surprised to find I had no trouble getting a foot down, even when I stalled on some rock steps in the wrong gear.

Accessories are on their way, so I'll soon be kitted out for adventures again. Huzzah!

Well, it happened. I lost faith in my #DR650. Sure, anything's fixable, but I don't know if I want to. It's been a good bike, mostly (breakdowns aside) doing what I asked, taking me places I wouldn't have gone. But...

I just put a deposit on a #KTM690Enduro, a significantly more powerful, modern, slightly lighter, dualsport/chookchaser, capable of taking me anywhere a DR could, more quickly... Time will tell if reality agrees. I definitely enjoyed my test ride. 😎
