Suzuki DRZ 400 SM Supermoto

I just made a 90x90 6KB avatar. It was tricky to create the image as 6KB is not much, but, it only took a few hours, and what else do I have to do?

I bumped it up to 25k

Sure, now that I struggled to get mine down to under 6K. Is it still limited to 90x90? We were at 125x125 on the old board and, although avatars never can show much detail, that allowed a bit more. We want everything including the copper pipes.

Hi, board avatars are now set to max of 125x125

Thanks. You are very agreeable about changes and I am now wondering if I should ask for money. Of course, I will need some time to come up with a good story but, if I go to Wal*Mart tomorrow, I should be able to choose from a few out in the parking lot.

Now I need to go and upgrade my Avatar!

Is this a Suzuki thread? It says so, it's a Suzuki sub forum, and the subject says something about a DRZ? but then it's about a Ford avatar . . . .

Are you suggesting that we did not stay on topic? Perhaps this is true, but, I assure you that we tried to.

No bike comes close to the fun I've had on my DRZ. Nor the things I've learned on it either. I always tell people, it took a 35HP dirt bike to teach me how to ride a street bike.

I mean how many other bikes can go from doing stuff like this...





To doing this, all in the same day?

The versatile nature of the DR-Z is exactly what Brakelate praises all the time. I think that he thinks that his DR-Z is some kind of Swiss Knife, do it all, completely satisfying machine. Sort of a modern Jeep that somehow also handles like a good sports car. But, from 70 MPH, or 80 for sure, it can't out accelerate an entry level Kia. So, it does fall way behind on acceleration and top speed. Of course, Brakelate has no fear and never lifts, even in the dirt, so he still keeps up. I wonder, however, how DR-Z experience really translates to riding other bikes since other bikes always seem heavy or too cramped or not nimble enough since I got a DR-Z. But, I confess that I had a yearn for power for a lot of years and I sought out fairly powerful machines such as my '03 Cobra and my Busa to scratch that itch. So, I have been there and I have no regrets or feelings that I missed out on raw power where some may not have experienced having powerful machines and they may need to see for themselves. But, I found out, over time, that one uses vast power infrequently, unless they have no regard for their license or they are racing at a drag strip. Most of the time, I drove/rode within the parameters of the DR-Z, even when I had monster power in hand. So, in the real world the DR-Z hangs in pretty darned well, although on fast roads sports bikes will leave it for road kill. But, they are obviously speeding along at a much quicker pace than the DR-Z, which enhances the risk of that random bad citation.
