As we promised in an earlier post, we have put a larger capacity gas tank on the black DRZ.
Billy is removing the stock tank. Draining out the old gas was a smelly process.
Putting the petcock on the new tank.
"Hey! I'm kinda naked here! Where's my new tank?"
Almost done. We had to get a slightly longer vacuum hose. The stock hose isn't quite long enough to reach up from the extended tank.
All done! Looks great, and you won't have to add gas every 100 miles.
Meanwhile, back at the BMW F650GS....
I posted this picture a while back, and said we were going to install sturdier handlebars... ("Somebody" bent the stock bars while riding in sand in Baja...)
Well, we learned that there are no after market bars available for this bike, so we ordered another set from BMW, and made a few adjustments.
...and by adjustments, I mean we filled them with fine sand.
Billy is tapping the sand down into the end of the bars.
Sand? Yes! The sand adds stability to the bars, and also cuts way down on vibrations to the hands.
Almost done. Putting the throttle, and brake back on.
All finished, and ready for "Somebody" to take a quick test ride.
Here's a look at our shop.
Beemers on the right.....
...and Suzukis, and Kawasakis on the left.
Pick your pony, and give us a call!
The weather couldn't have been better, and the day was perfect for a ride! Billy and I saddled up the DRZ's, and hit the trail. The Suzuki DRZ 400's are so nimble and perfect for the forest service roads we are surrounded with. We started out going the back way into La Pine State Park, got some fuel in the town of La Pine, and headed back towards Sunriver, via the forest service roads that zig zag along Hwy 97. We encountered a few downed trees, but they were easy to navigate around.
We found ourselves on "Sam's Road". (Let's just say, Sam knows who he is, and which road we are speaking of...) We made it through the sand and rocks without incident, and had a an exhilarating time!
These bikes are so awesome on the local terrain! The blue and white one has the larger gas tank, but a larger tank is in the near future for the black one. The black one has been lowered, for folks like yours truly!
I'm sure it was a deer, but I'm not so sure what happened to it.
The obvious comment here is "We live in a dry climate, Always carry plenty of water!"
I Thought it might look like I was standing on the bike, but I guess it's pretty obvious that I was standing on a stump.
...and right in the middle of the forest....?
Also right in the middle of the forest....trash. Why are people such slobs?
The only thing missing is you!
We had a great ride! If this looks like your kind of fun, give is a call (54d1)520-4929 or visit our website http://www.oregondualsportrentalandadventures.com
