Figure it's time to update this a bit...
I sold the RR in Oct... actually traded it in on a 09 DR-Z400s with 0 miles. I was able to strip all my aftermarket parts off the CBR (which I sold for $2,000) and still trade straight across for the DRZ...
I gotta say I LOVE this bike. much more comfortable for trips than either sport bike (duh ) except for the seat(which I'm trying to find a stock one I can try my hand at modifiying)
Here's my DRZ as she sits today,
one of my favorite pics of her... (no comments about not being able to actually see her... LOL)
in the 8 months I've had her she's got just over 14k on her.. She's been through 20 states but alas, not outside the US. I'm hoping to change that soon... ish.
planning a trip on the Trans Labrador Hwy next year (aug or sept ish of 2011) and a trip down to Panama when ever I can get the leave to do it. (my command currently has a ban on travel to-through mexico because of the drug wars... )
Also hope to hit up the Dempster and Dalton Hwys (which will probably happen before ever heading south to Panama)
I've recently started my savings for my RTW trip, which, save an un expected marrage and even more unexpected child,(single and VERY HAPPY) will be happening when I retire from the Military in 2022 or 2024. I'm hoping to have 30-50k saved by then, and with my Military pension of 1-2k a month (depending on what rank I retire at) plan on a 4-5 year trip around the world...
then I MAY re enter society as a walmart greeter
