DRZ in the snow

Ere we go, my first stop after getting of the main roads (which were quite lairy i might add)


Not so much snow on the local lanes but they were rock 'ard and slippy (especially the rocky bits!)


Bit of scenery chucked in...


Stay puft marshmallow man? Nope....a santa claus bigger than the houses in the village!


The trusty KTM in need of a wash at the end of the day to get rid of the salt.


All in an awesome day!

Cool

I didn't have any bike gear on apart from a lid btw

Dam, just makes me want to get one even more. I've scrapped the idea of that one I posted on FB, just found one like yours but in blue with both sets of wheels and a set of proper off road tyres. Just need to get across and see it.

You'll get some good money for that though wont you mate?
You still dong the work on it?

Looks like alot of fun! Have been very tempted by something like that for the winter (but monies refused), probably much more affective on the snow than the SV

Nah that one on FB, front end is twisted, needs more work than I though. I recon it'll end up costing bout a grand to get it mint. I've found an S as i mentioned for £2300....using my compo money to pay for it, can't wait!

Cool, looks nice in blue.
What year for that money?
You'll need a sprocket / discs on those spare wheels wont you?

The speedo will run over as well i think with the SM wheels on.
Another one for the dirt bike weekend

Its a K5, 7500 miles on it. Yeah will need the Discs + sprocket or i could just change them when needed but for the cost not worth not buying another set.

Yeah speedo will run over too. Yup deffo up for a dirty weekend

You could probably sell one of them sets of wheels couldnt you?
Decent road going off road tyre will do a good job of both.

drz's are nice bikes but far to high a seat height for me. ive found in the dim and distant past when rideing on snow covered roads something like a old school dt 125/175 or a ts 125/185 with real knoblies and about 6psi in the tyres worked well and because they are low to the ground are very easy to control unlike the more modern stuff which you need a step ladder to mount.and on fresh snow when you get to about 30 mph the bike would ride on top of deep snow and not bog down in it,but if youve got a 36 inch inside leg or are very brave you'll probably get away with a dzr
