If you post your ride reports hare on HUBB travel tales then EVERYONE IN THE WORLD can see it. Sort of "one stop shopping". Easy to follow with notification sent out every time you post an update. This is what makes HUBB work and makes it possible for the kind of help your getting from the community in
Austria.

Hi Mollydog,
By posting them here do you mean the riders tales section or the travel stories function?
Also, I completely understand what you mean. Having delved through those forums for months the Dr650 bikes in America seem to be plagued by far less incidents. I don't know why mine went but fingers crossed I'm healthy now and able to continue without any further issues.
Graz here I come I think.

I think you could post up your stories in either forum, but I was thinking the
"Ride Tales" forum actually.
Wow! what a response you've got here! I guess the DR650 is not dead in the EU after all!
Good luck, safe travels.

Thank you everyone
Hello!
So the DR is back alive and on the road where she belongs. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that offered advice or suggestions and a particular thanks to those who stepped up to help a stranded and struggling traveler as he went.
Thomas, Andreas and the rest of the Austrian riders who had input in getting me back on the road were absolute legends and Id be stuck here twiddling my fingers for much longer without them.
Thank you all!
Jordan

Glad to hear that biker karma came through!
In case someone with a similar problem but no guardian angels finds this thread - a good source of parts in Europe is motomike.eu. For example: https://www.motomike.eu/en/faction/s.../DR/Feldx/650/
That's what my local shop uses to order parts, including some pretty damn obscure stuff.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
