DMT - Day minus 20 - Frustration - Part 4

Stress relief. Instead of waiting for the Africa Twin parts to arrive from the UK I decided to buy another bike to prevent having the fatal problem of motolacktus. Looking around in the local ads produced a very attractive Honda CRF250L Rally. I had seen these when the first came out and thought they were a very nice modern version of the NX250. 

It has fuel injection, a 6 speed transmission, and a modern suspension. Many of the reviews dismissed it as too soft, too heavy, and too little power. If you wanted an all out enduro bike Honda makes the CRF250X. However, for a long distance adventure bike this one is perfect.

Even better, Andrew, the previous owner had already installed many of the upgrades I would have chosen like an FMF exhaust for less weight and Olins shock and fork components to upgrade the suspension and handling. A quick call to Happy Trails and the racks and skid plate are on their way. New Dunlop 606s and it's ready to roll.

I have just one small problem, the garage is getting pretty tight. Anyone want to buy a bike. I have plenty of choices to choose from.
