i wouldnt mind if it was the blade, i get a great deal of satisfaction from riding that fast/smooth in the wet (as long as im dressed for it) but the DRZ is just a chore on wet tarmac,i guess i can keep entertained be getting it sideways at every opertunity

thankyou steve

i took my DRZ to George Whites since my local dealers have shut down,i used them last year to (for the first time) and they did a good job even cleaned the bike afterwards so they have my business for the foreseable future .... i used to use Bridge Motorcycles in Andover as i worked there they shut a couple of years ago now,not long after i bought the DRZ from them

Cheers. Reason I asked is that someone suggested the other day that Taylors who disappeared from Chippenham a while back had opened up in Swindon. They were Suzuki dealers but I can't find any trace of them on the web. Taylor Racing site just comes up blank.

Nice to see George Whites getting praise. I'll have to visit them when I'm ready to replace my trusty KLR that I sold last month. Yep, I am currently an arm chair only TRFer as I haven't got an off road bike at the moment. Not one I can ride anyway, I still have the Husky in the lounge but have no intention of getting that muddy, though I haven't ruled out a set of supermoto wheels for it...hmmmm...what do you think?

tbh steve im not a fan of supermoto's (big singles are not the best engines to use at road speeds,if you see what i mean) but if it gets you out riding the thing then all good

go for it
