Thanks Greg LOL - Will have to re-watch. Probably RUSH in there somewhere HAHA - Sorry that this was so freakin long - I talk too much LOL 🙂 Cheers !!!
"I don't want a bunch of shit up there!" Lmfao instant subscribe for me You are so right though, not wanting a bunch of shit up there is part of why we love the DR650!
I love your handle !!! - I have an African Sulcata 🙂 Thanks for watching and man do I love my MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650 - And yes - (and no offense to other thoughts & ideas) I DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF SHIT UP THERE LOL !!!!! I love the simplicity of the DR. I don't need to watch TV while riding ha ha... Cheers !
@@pilotdane1 lol nice one brother! You might like turtles more than I do even! I do laugh a little at some guys with all the screens and phone holders etc that hey land up there, I mean for some people and places it may be needed, but most of y riding these days it from and back to my house, mostly on familiar roads and trails, so like you with your barkbusters - I just dont really need them! Anyway brother you have a great weekend, oh and I forgot to mention you got bonus points for what looked like an ESEE 3 or 4 in there at some stage both of which I also have.
@@iliketurtles4463 Ha ha - Yes, to all the above & that is a really good knife - Love it !!!! Ya - GPS crap, cell phones, hot pocket dispenser - Fuck all that bullshit LOL - I'll find my way on my own....., or not ha ha ha.....
WooHoo! Happy 500 subscribers!! Good Video OBI-WAN, Neat to look at the complete "Skunk Works" mods to the Mighty DR650! The DR650 is truly the AR15 of duel sport motorcycles! Customize it a little, or a lot, full dirt, duel sport or supermoto it does them all! Great to see your doing good and to hear from you. Cat's out of the bag now with DOC650's new video coming up. Rode the DR650 up to Payson last week, then the 288rd through Young, AZ, hit the 188rd to Globe and rode home as it became dark. I apricated that LED headlight bulb for sure! The DR purred like a kitten, it was a blast.
VW, well said about the DR650! Sounds like you had a great trip on the DR! Yup, new video coming on a first aid kit that will address everything from severe bleeding to severe hangover LOL! Cheers!
VW - The rides you do are amazing - It will be some time before I am able to be out that far - but would love to. Also, very well put about the DR - I know I am biased, but totally agree !!! - Like DOC says, you have a blank canvas - and you can do anything you want with it. Like our bikes - All "DR's" - and each one totally different, yet can do the same things. BTW - Got the Seat Concepts Seat ordered - FINALLY, and actually am gonna play with some gearing mod(s). Got a 14 tooth front ordered. Will play with that for starters... I don't really ride on the freeways much. Wanna see what I think out in the desert though... Like 12 bucks.... Cheers Mate !!!
@@pilotdane1 Great to hear you got the seat, I was in the saddle most of the day on the last ride and was glad to have the Sargent seat that came with the bike. It was Pre-Puckered! 😃 I try to do as little as freeways as I can, but I have no problems with 2 lane black top hwy. like the return trip from Young/Globe. Right now I have the 16 tooth on for cruising, but it still does good off road, but I haven't had it on any single track stuff. Enjoyed the video as always. I knew someone would bump you over the 499 when I wrote the comment last night. Take care OW.
This was still interesting to me. I like to see what other people have done to their mighty DR.. especially the one off custom stuff. How you made that GSXR can work still amazes me because no one else has that which is pretty effing cool! I would do one of these types of vids but I hate the way I sound talking to myself and not too someone. There would be a million retakes which would annoy the shit out of me. Maybe one day I’ll give it a shot. Or maybe I’ll just leave it to the professionals like yourself 😉
Dunlop Trailmax Mission are also AMAZING 50/50 tires although I consider them more 60/40 Street/Dirt. Great feel cornering on the street and nice hard side walls so you can lower the air pressure fairly low without worrying about your rim. Rim locks prob needed though.
Adam - thanks for watching !!! - I appreciate the comment. On my next set I think I am going with the "D-SPORTS" - Always fun experimenting !!!! Cheers Buddy !!!
I've got that same Fly Racing jacket (or very similar) and another one that's my daily 3-season (really 4-season) jacket that I've had for going on 7 years now. I have the same Forma boots as well for just as long. Good products. Definitely got my money's worth.
Thank man - Ya, good stuff. I really like the "gear" I have - not terribly expensive and does the job... Thanks for watching a very long / boring video LOL.... Cheers !
Reese - I got you there - I have had to force myself to do as little as possible. It's easy to get carried away & mod everything - including turn signals..... Thanks for watching !!!
Great video OBI- WAN! Well thought out mods. I like the rear fender mod. Mine is still the stock length but I might do the same thing you did - it looks great! Your Vapor install was great and very practical. Well done! I know you spent a lot of hours on this video. Cheers!
Thanks bud - Pretty sad as far as video's go - but probably needed to do something along these lines anyway.... More to come on the DR obviously 😬 Now I gotta put the bike back together & clean up my messy ass MAN CAVE... DING DING BABY !!!
Thanks buddy - I appreciate you watching a very boring / dry video - But yes, 500 - Didn't even realize it until you & VW pointed it out. The reason I do these is to help people & just have fun actually. The friends I've made are the most important part - and didn't even see that coming when I began.... Cheers Mate !
Rjeepster - sorry for the delay - Thank you so much for watching. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours. I apologize for the length of the video - and really tried to go as quickly as possible. Just got a "SEAT CONCEPTS SEAT" for my birthday (60 LOL) really digging it. Taking a longer ride (for me) tomorrow to see if my butt is happier after at least 100 miles LOL. Cheers Mate - and thanks again for watching !!!!
Hi Charlie - that's so funny - Just depends on where you're at and how you ride. You can make that statement for soooooo many tires. I am quite pleased with them. Next set I may try D SPORT - recommended by 690 ADV - but we'll see.... I do appreciate you watching !!!!
@@pilotdane1 they are aggressive with good traction in the loose stuff, but a lil lacking on the street. TKC 80s are nice but a lil salty so I'm goin with Kenda Big Blocks this time. Just as aggressive as the TKC80 but a bit harder & heavier without being a squirrely bitch on the road getting to dirt/gravel roads... (edited fk I must been drunk or my phone just took the wheel?)
Thanks bud - I appreciate you watching. This was a special video made at the request of a viewer and not meant to be anything else. If I knew who it was - I would ban him from my channel. - Although much longer than I had hoped - this pathetic 15 minutes took at least 10 hours to produce......
Great vid, good advice, amazing attitude
Dude - Thanks so much. Had to re-watch myself LOL - Sorry I'm so longwinded, but thanks for watching ~!!! Cheers Mate !!!
Nice music choice, takes me back a ways!🎉
Thanks Greg LOL - Will have to re-watch. Probably RUSH in there somewhere HAHA - Sorry that this was so freakin long - I talk too much LOL 🙂
