It's been beautiful for the past two weeks, today the sky opens up and the temp drops to the mid 50's
Despite the greasy new Dunlop D208's and Pacific northwest-like conditions I actually had a fun ride home. It's a more confidence inspiring ride in the wet than the Pilot shod 954. About ten miles of curvy rural roads separate my house from the dealer so I only have a small sample to go on but I was impressed with the motor. I've been hearing a lot of people say that the DRZ400's are kinda pokey but it had more go-go juice than I expected. It's supposed to clear up tomorrow so I'll try and get some pics (I know you're all just dying to see pics of my bone stock DR ) and give some more initial impressions after a proper ride.
Also, I was sorry to leave the 954 behind, there are times when I'll miss the power, sweeeeeet handling and good looks but the ride home confirmed that I had made the right decision. It will be nice to be able to have fun at legal (or closer to legal) speeds.
