Is this you SgtBatten?

1.11 plated GS?... I saw a 4.11 plated GS. Still had 2010 colors though. So it's really overstock and not a genuine 2011 model.

Continuation of colours?

Nah it's not me. It's my postie

Every now and again I get the odd postie that nods.

I nod but only because I forget what bike I on at the time, Oh yeah I'm a postie hence all the postie bikes in backyard

can you explain to this JAFO what a postie is?

A postal worker.
We deliver the mail.
In Australia we deliver it on a honda CT110 motorbike.

Ironic!! JAFO is short for>>> Just Another f%$king Observer

Ahhhhhhh another piece of Internet lingo learned.

haha I think our postal workers would smile more if they got to ride those bikes!

I'm still getting itchy for another moto. I found an '06 drz super moto that needs a bit of work. Going to check it out tomorrow

Yes I love my job when I am on the footpath at 60km/h passing the traffic that is at a standstill.

Worst thing about being a postie in Australia... Orb spiders 

Ride through a gap between fence and footpath tree and WAMMO, Orb Spider in the face.

Do it! I love my supermoto. The weather is supposed to hit 50  few days in this next week so I'm hoping to get out a little bit. I borrowed my friends DRZsm for a weekend before I bought mine and it was a fun bike. It was very refined compared to my yz426sm. The DRZ is lighter than a street bike, and still has the long travel suspension, but it just seemed refined and run like a street bike. When I'm out on m YZ it's obvious you're riding a dirtbike, but the DRZ felt more like riding a streetbike with dirtbike abilities, if that made sense. It rode smooth, and the engine was smooth. My yz is a little more crass, but that's the price you pay for the extra power and having less weight.

I was doing stoppies on his bike all weekend. Just little ones because I've never really done many of them, but the bike was just begging for it. My yz still has the small offroad rotor on it so it's not as anxious to pick up the back wheel.

So very true

Got to test ride the drz today, and MAN MAN!! Its a really fun machine, needs a couple things. Biggest is a repaint on the tank. I would have test road a couple other bikes, but the guy was closing his shop. I'm pretty set on getting the drz, almost want it too much haha.

I know exactly what you mean ttfour!! street bike with dirt bike agility. I can't wait, the dream is to have sticky set of SM wheels/tires and a set of off road wheels/tires. The main reason i started looking into the drz is the offroad capabilities.

I've got a lot to learn and am stoked to have a new moto in the family.

Here's a cool video i found of a few drz's having fun
