This seems like a really good excuse to take the drz all day everyday for everything. What's stopping you?

Snow, ice and salt?

My condolences, Jim. I forget its not 30 and clear everywhere. No way I would risk my bike if salt was all over. Did you at least take the life of the deer that so horribly inconvenienced you?

It was dead when it hit the ground

If it weren't for the salt, I might consider that, but no way am I letting my bike get all corroded like some pedestrian 690.

I've been seriously considering buying something like a DR200, KLR250, TW200 for some hilarious lightweight adventure touring this summer but apparently I'm way too tall (6' 2", 1.88m) for any of those according to the internet :(

Next logical step is a DR650 or KLR650, right?

Speaking as someone 6'3", you arent too tall for a TW200. They have pretty relaxed ergos.

And yeah, as mentioned, the next step up from those in size is the DRZ/WR. The DR650 and KLR are both big bikes. The DR is closer to what you're looking for than the KLR in my mind though.

What brands share the same head shape as hjc? HJC's fit me like a glove for my head, but I'd like to step up my build quality game if at all possible.

I had the awesomest thing that was a male schrader valve on one end, a 4 inch length of hose, and a female schrader. You would thread the female end onto your wheels valve and it gave you a male schrader to hook to the pump. It was awesome and I think I lost it in a move :negative:

I've never had an easy bike to fill the tires on, so it was awesome.

E: it was just like this. Everyone buy like 9 of these right now!!

For modern japanese bikes, the quality seems to go:

Honda
Yamaha/Kawasaki























...Suzuki

They're all pretty close these days. What you lose in possibly rusty fasteners on a Suzuki you gain by not having a Honda regulator that shits the bed, or Yamaha suspension and fueling that is laughable by 80's standards. Plus kawi and Suzuki do a ton of parts sharing these days (the last two decades), so their quality is similar by nature.

Honestly, most of the bikes from the big 4 are pretty drat close to each other.

That doesn't necessarily sound like he went off on purpose. I've never seen a Harley rider pull over voluntarily to let people by; why deny the captive audience the joy of hearing your pipes?

Did about 100 miles on the drz today, about 20 of those stuck behind Harley's toddling about on the nicest twisty roads around. Exactly one of them waved me by, I don't think any of the rest even looked in their mirrors.

The ability to recognize local LEO vehicle headlight patterns is valuable skill to hone.

It basically replaced our need to instantly recognize predators eyes and faces and I'm sure has to be handled by the same part of the brain. To this day I can spot the "facial" pattern of a crown vic from a mile out.
