alt text I have nothing against against the Portugal replicas but I can’t tell you how annoying it is that the battery cover isn't black, it’s good to have the originals on. I’m just glad I took them off ASAP as that could’ve been them smashed to pieces.

Not long after she was loaded up and taken on an adventure. You’d be surprised what you can carry on that luggage rack with just some bungees, a cargo net and a lot of faith.

I don’t remember taking this photo but as you can see the rally is in full swing

Being at bike rally surrounded by street fighters, HD’s and customs I thought it’s be funny to enter my bike into the Backstreet Heroes Show and well, I didn’t win any prizes (not that I expected too, I hadn’t even cleaned it since I’d last been in some fields and crashed) and in all honesty no one even really looked it at it.
However I did catch these guys smiling having a little moment reminiscing of their days being yoof’s and owning a DT themselves. never gets old does it?

I honestly love this bike so much. She just looks right.
Happy with how she sits, and the skimmer profile now I’ve pulled that headlight down.
I have plans for a custom graphic for the headlight to match the rest of the graphics and to spray the headlight white. What do you think would look better?

You’d also be surprised how tall this bike is, knobblies, 19” rear wheel + wr450 front end have made her impossible to ride if you’re vertically challenged 😂

Sorry about the video I asked some random older dude to take a photo, apparently he doesn’t know how to use an iPhone 😂
Loading up second time around was a piece of piss and I managed to get everything packed up a lot more efficiently leaving more room for extra gear on other adventures.
Even sat on the motorway she didn’t miss a beat either, never ceases to amaze me how good these bikes are.
Overall great rally, first one after 10+ years. I got loads of photos of the bike show so I’ll upload them at some point
