Thats a hell of a deal. How compact does it get? Do you leave yours mounted or bolted to something all the time? I'm slowly running out of garage space but am tempted to save my back from floor spooning tires on.

 

I've seen some vids where the guy mounted it to a pallet.

 

They make a trailer hitch mount for them

 

Rabaconda is not cheap but easy to use and super compact. I just store it in its bag on a shelf.

 

I installed inserts in my garage floor to allow me to bolt it in place when I want to use it. When not in use it sits in front my bike lift where it's not really in my way. It's got little weight to it but not awful. I considered getting the receiver hitch mount or just getting the welder at work to fab me one up but that would put it up fairly high.

 

I considered one of those but when I bought the Nomar they were still pretty new and I didn't know anyone who had one I could ask about it.

 

Yeah, that's the other one I've been eyeing.. $650-700 though

 

Yeah, plus accessories you might need (I have the BMW center hub adapter, small axle adapter and spoked wheel duck head). It's not cheap but it's paid for itself in tire changes and my friends bought me the accessories to do their tires.

 

Hmmm. Who in here does this fit?

 

All of us?

 

Yeh it’s longer than I expected. Not mad about it though as I can trim the wool up if I decide I want to. It’s a natural undyed Icelandic sheep skin, so has some uniqueness to it. Does smell pretty rough when the longer hairs fall on the exhaust at a red light. Their going to singe themselves out of the way… lol

If I find any that dig this kind of bike, I’ll be sure to share them equally.

That’s a dang good looking one for sure. I’m without a doubt loving the DR, but I have a feeling I’m gonna want a true trail bike for the harder stuff in the future. Prolly pick up something used like a WR or KLX when the funds come back around.

That was one of my main concerns too. Supposedly they’re better for airflow and don’t get hot, but we shall see. It’s pretty easy to take off if I decide to only run it in winter. Just pull the seat off and untie three straps.

So just on road, it’s surprisingly not slippery at all! Haven’t tried it on anything more than a gravel road yet, so only time will tell.

 

I had an all yellow DR pass by yesterday when I was out getting lunch.

 

I gotta be honest, I think that’s one of the best colors for these bikes. I love the white, but kinda wish they’d have brought the yellow back at some point. I like that they kept it for the new version of the DRZ.

 

I had a yellow DRZ and wanted white

 

First snow of the year happened overnight. Need to turn on some heaters in the garage and get some work done on the Harley.

 

Found some pitbike calipers that will work on the first razor. Should be 100% better than little mtb brakes

 

So did you get the Nomar?

 

Haven't heard from the seller. It's about 3hrs away. so Thursday would be my first chance anyway. I hope to hear something on my 6 days off.

 

First nice day in awhile! We got some rain that washed everything off the streets and today we have a high of 65! So took the bolt down to blip and to get some breakfast! So far we are having a lot of fun the gf has lost a few of her muscle memories and what to do and not do but she is working on getting it back.

 

New helmets close to being done, two more print plates to go
