With all that dirt, I think we can call Dora a "Tom Boy"!
That bike always was a little "gender confused"anyway.

NortwestRider

Dora is a " modern bike " !!!!.
She walks her OWN walk !!

5,902 miles!!
She took almost a quart of oil,leaked most of that.
NO chain adjustments,chain lubbed every other day ( about every 600-800 miles).
Fuel issues on day #2,solved and no more issues.
Dora maybe the ONLY GS500 to cross the ARTIC CIRCLE,ridden by a woman no less !!
DORA,THE LITTLE TWIN THAT COULD !!.

Thank you VERY much for stopping by today. What a thrill to see Dora (formerly Trey). What an awesome bike to go all that distance.

I loved hearing all your stories. You are truly one of the greatest bikers --- no,  THE greatest biker I know.
(Well, maybe really Kate is the greatest and you are #2 - after all, she did ride the GS!)


bryan88

You guys are legends (and Dora of course) Well done!

NortwestRider

I would not hesitate to head out again tomorrow for another 6,000 miles ( after a perm fix of the oil leak )...

Well done on the ride and on the updates for those of us following through this majic monitor box. I feel like i've embarked on a journey myself! haha
