Since no one would help me start a Revolution against the corporate gas giants to try and bring gas prices back to an affordable price, I searched and found a mint condition Suzuki 1996 DR 350 for sale with 4895 miles on it and bought it. It appears as a commuter bike it can get around 70mpg so I'll park the truck and the V2K and ride this now. I really hate sinking money into gasoline at the unreal rates it's selling for now so this will be my new best friend as I pass by the pumps watching the huge SUV's paying a premium price for gallons of gas.
I've taken it out for a couple of rides and while it's no big cruiser bike...it's fun to ride. Since my body won't tolerate off-road riding anymore it'll continue to be babied as an on-road commuter and sharing space with the King Kahuna.
Anyway...here are some pics of the lil brute.
