Once a girl makes up her mind...
After much ado (head scratching, asking every forum, making pros and cons lists and many, many sleepless nights), I've decided to flog my KTM Duke II and get a DR650 (hopefully 03 or newer) for my SOLO trip from London to Jhb.
Damn - if you know how long it takes a girl to make up her mind about something -- and then to be hit with this DIRE situation: NO DR650s IN THE UK?!!
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE BRITS???!!!
I'm now completely depressed. It took me MONTHS to finally make the decision to get rid of the KTM (long story, sentimental value etc. etc. ) - AND NOW I CANT GET THE BIKE I WANT???!!!
NO! No! No! [Stamping feet and clenching fists!] This can't be.
Can ANYONE help?! Is there ANY way I can get my hands on this bike??!! SOON!? Cos I want to have at least 6 - 8 months to ride it and get to love it, and all that stuff thats very important.
(I have thought about reversing the trip - from South Africa to UK - can buy the DR in Joburg... but the thought of going UP, instead of DOWN... well - it just doesn't feel right - and us girls have a sense about this!) : ) PLUS - it will give me no time to ride the bike and to love it...
PS = the DRZ400 (available in UK) is nice - but it looks a bit like a sissy bike. And I'm not sure it will make it...
