Thanks
Thanks a lot for the info. I'm happy to hear that. The DR650 is the bike I hope I will get if it can take the load to come. As you wrote I'm sure it'll take it. While most riding will be alone there will be long treks with the full side and vertical luggage sets plus a passenger. I've read in one of the posts the max useful load is around 400 lbs or so. Anyway I'll look into it and mod it if I need to. It's the ideal bike. Light, low profile, simple.. I would appreciate it if we could get in touch on Cambodia. Are you riding solo? How are you finding it? My email address is airbornebaby@gmail.com. Of all the countries I'll be riding through Cambodia is the tricky one. Having worked and lived throughout Asia I would feel safer leaving my bike at night in Indonesia, Vietnam or anywhere else really but Cambodia. A lot of guns and ex Khmer rouge killers in the country and it only takes a desperate few to ruin your day especially if riding alone. I've ridden solo in the jungles of West Papua with drunk men with machetes trying to get me to stop. Now that gets the heart racing. Thanks for the post and it's great to hear someone riding in that country. Must be an amazing experience. Ian
