Hi brenhdan if im honest its a quick bike to much for me off road and perfect on road but probably that could change due to tire choice as the onss on it were awful to hard with no feel tire pressure also to mch i had a ktm lc4 400 which suited me bang on also like the dr350but i would say theyre about ten horses less than that crf so if youve got some experience offroad then itl be a great bike with the right tyres
Cheers j :woohoo:

FOLLOW THAT,
Great pictures in the snow sorry my ones so F***ing boring.

MCC Lands End Long Distance Trial next weekend. Just preping up the littlun ready for it.
It's an all nighter Popham to just beyond Newquay zigzaged all over Somerset, Devon & Cornwall.
350 miles & about 15 sections & special tests. Definately Red Bull territory.
This is the 91st year of the event.
Looks like it's going to be an absolute freezer & some seriously slippery hill climbs.

To those that don't know it the entry is about 120 bikes & chairs & about 220 cars.

I really like the red white & blue tank your Spanish mate has done - I may just nick that idea B)

Do you run with an auxiliary tank ? or is that just our American cousins ?
Too right, that bike is lovely, albeit a bit more like a custom than an AB :evil: My bike has the orange/yellow tank which I quite like, especially as all of my clobber and luggage is black!

Yes, I have an X-Tank, which gives me sixteen litres of fuel - plenty until the other week when I forgot that the reserve range is still the same :(

I'm working on a list of all my mods and I'll post you up the link as and when that's done.

Hello Simon,
Weather is dreadfull here. Hope it clears up by Friday Night. I've put the handlebar muffs on for the Roadwork.
50 mile ride before I get to the start.
Hope you've ordered the weather for Albaracin in September.

I'll have to look out for you, I'm meant to be camping down at St Agnes this weekend and watching the trial, but really don't fancy it in this weather... looks like I've become a warm, sunny days rider!
Enfield Himalayan... apparently they're Marmite... not keen on Marmite, but like Vegemite
YBR125... the little adventure steed of awesomeness

If you do brave it for a -3 degree nights camping I'll stop for a brew on the way through, that's if I make it that far.
Nearly ready, Numbered, Illuminated Road Booked & Muffed up ready for a 400+ mile all night freezer.
Still got to put a Switch across Head & Dip filaments so I can have them on together in the Pitch Black early sections (Felons Oak being the first)
This'll be a test for the underfleeces I bought this winter cheap from Trespass.
I also got some fleece boot Liners.
The rest of my gears good & this little 200cc Suzuki Djebel is better than my Beta Alp for Long Distance Trials. I trust it & its lugged me through Marsh & Dale without so much as a wheeze. The little feller cleaned Strata Florida in 20 minuites when the dips were full of water, No wonder the New Zealand sheep farmers love the Trojan derivative.
Onward & Upward I hope, realy don't need too many downwards on this one!!!!

Dashboard of the Djebel.
I think the alternayor is 180w so plenty of power for gizmos.

Hey Brian
Nice Djebel!
I'm taking my DR250 on a long trip at the weekend too (190 miles) and you may be just the person who knows the answer to my query!
