@@SWATT101 Very likely, we actually did stop at the airport couple weeks ago watching a new pilot trying to muster up the courage to take off. We were in Bancroft area again last week looking for a quiet place to swim and it was a complete failure 😂

@@manmedel It was so noisy because of the bull frogs but still nice 😀 Fire 🔥 is a must when camping! That's too bad you can't have them there, makes for great story telling. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

We completely understand 😆definitely makes you think twice about camping next to a pond! Lovely during morning/day/evening but a few quiet hours to sleep after the fire burns down ranks pretty high on our wish list. *T4W*

Hi and thanks. It's a very low draw from the LED's and that circuit is already protected with a fuse. We've done this setup on quite a few different DR's and never had an issue.

Hello & thanks! We love exploring and going somewhere new. There is no method to our madness 😁 we just pick one on the map and go for it. There are endless lakes and bodies of water in our area so it's fantastic. Ride safe out there.

It's hit and miss with water bodies on maps. Still great fun exploring never know where you'll end up. Crazy story!

Hi, so far they've been leak free. We've put pretty close to 100000kms combined and they've been great. The added range is definitely worth it.

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks there are so many beautiful areas to explore! Great to be out on the bikes again.

Almost lost control because of that boulder lol hope you're doing good and enjoy your week!

Thank you, it was a relaxing day out on the DR's!

Great beach yes but water was still frigid! We put our feet in last week and it's still pretty chilly...hoping for some consistent warm weather to kick off the swimming season 😎

Hi and thanks for the comment. It is beautiful up there, one of our favorite spots in that area!

Almost here 😂 keeps playing guessing games with us. Stay safe and enjoy the season!

We were pretty excited to try it out 😎 it would be perfect on small dirt bikes. We wish we had more land so it wasn't so short but definitely better than nothing!

Hi and thanks! Yes very nice to get the bikes back out there. We had snow again the past couple of days so it was short lived but it should melt off quick. Rider weight and inseam are factors. His bike set at stock settings is at least two inches higher than her bike on lower setting with low seat. If you have 28 inch inseam, it's definitely doable (reaching on one side/foot). Her bike is sitting around 31" with her sitting on it. If you check our other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYGbm5iBltqtnMU at 1:10 it shows her sitting on her bike and then at 1:50 sitting on his stock setting bike for a visual comparison. Spec wise, my Vstrom 650 has a lower seat height than the DR650 but the Vstrom to me felt taller and top heavy when compared. The DR650 seat is narrow compared to wider Vstrom seat which spreads/raises your legs more. The DR650 is a great bike. Ride safe out there.

Thank you! We're so much happier here than in the city. Instead of hearing traffic, sirens, yelling and all the noise pollution we hear nature. Tranquility is priceless.

Thank you we had a fun trip! Yes it's a sad fact...being robbed everywhere.

Squats are a great workout! We try to stay mobile so we don't lose it. It's all white again outside this morning, waiting for better weather to start riding! *T4W*

It's a gorgeous area! The DR650 used to be intimidating (as a new rider coming from a DR200 - also a great bike!). It's crazy what a difference just stock adjustments and a lower seat can make to how a bike feels. What type of bike is your 1300? Ride safe out there *T4W*

Twice now and the damage it does sucks. That's why I don't even attempt wheelies... shit happens lol

We love the wood stove in the shop, keeps it nice and cozy down there (once it warms up 😁). Thank you very much for your kind words! Hope to see your adventures this season too, ride safe out there.

😄 Very true! We had one sunny day after work that we got out for a small ride and it was glorious. The lakes are starting to thaw!

Hi and thanks 😎We do love the DR650's!

Hey, they're from Amazon. www.amazon.ca/FXCNC-Aluminum-Adjustable-Compatible-2011-2020/dp/B092HTS23V We like them but they do require minor adjustments to make them fit perfectly. We have a video about it. Good luck

Yes we're ready to go! Just waiting on mother nature...your new setup looks amazing.

We're just coming out of hibernation with the nice weather just around the corner. It looks like Spring will have a very slow start with the weather forecast. Always fun to do small upgrades as long as they work ;)

Hi and thank you! Yes it was such a beautiful trip, we don't feel that the camera fully captured it. One of the crew members was bilingual. It is definitely more French oriented into Quebec but I wouldn't be worried about it. As an English person, I do find that if you smile, say "parlez vous anglais" (do you speak english) and say "merci" people will try harder to assist you when you're making an effort. We hope you both have a fantastic trip this summer! Ride safe out there.

Hey! Winter is taking forever to go away. Still over a foot of snow on the ground. Bikes are ready and so are we. Thanks for checking in, hope you're doing good as well. Have a great weekend!

@@Sum4Seb Can't complain! Sold the CRF to a couple that are taking it around the world! And now in the market for a DR650 myself. Found out I love tinkering on bikes as much as I like riding them, and the old "manual" engines appeal to me much more. Cheers and hope your weekend was time well spent.

It was on the DanMoto site back then but that was a few years ago. Just checked and we don't see it on their site anymore. You could check Amazon, fits DR with similar price range.

@@Sum4Seb do you know of a part # or serial # on that exhaust?

or would u want to sell that one to me since you dont like it ? lol ​@@Sum4Seb

@@kilocharlie317 no sorry that was way too long ago, everything you see in the video is all we have. There's a mid pipe part # at 1:30 in the video but that's about it. Good luck with your search.

Absolutely love fresh water lakes! So relaxing and refreshing, definitely a good way to decompress 😀 Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi, you must have missed all of 2023 🤣 time flies when you're having fun! Got the DR's end of last season. Hope we have a short winter/early spring. Have a great weekend!

@@Sum4Seb But you were on DR's and sold them for Vstroms. I think lol

@@sonnys8535 yeah we had those black 2012's but we weren't comfortable on them and will most likely not do anymore long road trips so we got DR's in October of last year. Probably just going to do day rides for now. Things might change again lol nothing set in stone...

​@@Sum4Seb Cool !! Yeah once on a DR650 it's hard to stay away from them lol

Feels like we didn't get as much done as we wanted last season. Hopefully 2024 is off to an early start. Have a great day!

Absolutely, so much more to explore. Hope you're doing good and for a short winter! *T4W*

Thank you 😃 We do live in a gorgeous area. An early spring would be ideal! *T4W*

Hi, 28" inseam, a bit of a reach sometimes but doable if you want it :) *T4W*

@@Sum4Seb Excellent. My wife rides a lowered DR650 ( which she'll keep ) but we've been considering a 650 VStrom for her for longer distance riding. Looks like a good choice. Thanks

I didn't think the DR650 was going to work for me at first but the seat and setting adjustments really make a difference! *T4W*

Thank you! Yes us too 😁...long couple of months ahead. Stay warm. *T4W*

That stretch along Hwy 118 is really nice 👍 *T4W*

What does T4W stand for ? I am just an old guy 😁@@Sum4Seb

Oh really? Nice 😎 The noise was relentless...we were impressed with our tent though, held up well with that wind. Gorgeous colors at sunset/sunrise and the color of the water looked amazing the whole ride through that area. *T4W*

It was loud but the view was perfect! 9°c today, the weather is so all over the place! Hope you enjoy your weekend!

@@Sum4Seb i just want snow and frozen lakes
