    Pack of dual sports

    A local GS guy was going thru life changes and came to realize he didn't need his dual sports, even though he "lives*" next to dual sport heaven. So, he gained garage space and i got 6 dual sports. I haven't gotten around to putting these on Photobucket, so here most of them are. I sold the 3 kick starts bikes (one never even made it to my garage) and kept the push button ones

      I hope you get more use out of them than the last guy did.

        I forgot about the one pic only. The ATK 490 SES. Easy revival, a complete O ring kit was $18. I made up for it by splurging for a Shorai battery, it took 1/2 second to fire up. Starts instantly now. Still replacing minor items and need to get it registered. I did ride it on the Isle of Vashon TT last weekend

          The 1994 DR 350 electric start. I got this for my son. It's a bit small for him, he's 6'7'. Perfect starter bike. It kicked my ass to get it running. Someone had "modified" it

            The DRz 400, 565 miles. This is what started the whole deal. My wife wanted to start riding again and she had checked out a DR 650. This one was pretty easy to revive, battery, tire, carb clean, new spark plug. I put a Promoto billet rack on it also

                Rob, so far, we've ridden the 4 miles to The Collectors for TWT as a group. Scary riding on 16 year old tires on the ATK.

                The little woman and I rode the DRs out into the hills a bit today.

                  They look like nice bikes. I'm a bit envious.

                        You and I rode with him from Dallas, OR to Yreka a few years back

                        You'll notice I'm not mentioning his name
