Dual sporting on the cheap: 1999 Suzuki DR350SE Adventure Sport Project | Bikes | Review

/ jrotun / Leave a comment

You can go out and get the best of the best, but the best sometimes is simple and cheap. Personally I love all bikes, but cost sometimes does not always beat reliability or budget for that mater. The Suzuki DR350 has always been there, to take on just about everything thrown at it and at a pretty good cost also. Yes they are no longer made, but you can still find them. There is a lot you can do to outfit this bike to take you from the back roads to the single track, all the way to the long haul. The six speed transmission lets the bike pur down the highway and its low gearing lets it climb just about any hill. A fun little light bike at an inexpensive cost.

A look back at Gino Pokluda’s light-weight “Adventure Sport” Suzuki DR350SE project bike, with tips to make your smaller bike comfortable for long distances.

/ jrotun / Leave a comment

So this will be short, just what the title says. If you got a story please share it.

I would like to start putting more info out there, I want to hear your stories. That is right, your adventures big and small. Where you have ridden, adventures you have been on, events you attended, products you recommend or do not recommend, your current and past rides, pictures and everything else. I plan to write your stories on my blog, share them with others and am looking for places to go when I travel North America in 5 years. The more you share the more places I will have on my list. I want to hear from the small town rider, the guy or gal who gets out there and lives the life.

See my Instagram and twitter links, ad #rydethis to your posts.

ADV moto magazine

Probably one of the best and most favorite magazines on the market. Each issue comes packed with great articles and stories to read covering the most extreme adventure bikes to the old thumper’s. Well worth looking into and picking up a copy. A true adventure magazine that is committed to adventure riders. I hope to have them cover my future adventure plans.

TAT-Trans American Trail

/ jrotun / Leave a comment

As I get back on this project an interesting ride has come to my attention. This is the dream, to ride the entire united states on an adventure bike as well as do this and other trails. See the sights and places not many see or even know about, to get out and live. My plan in 5 years time and will all be shared here.

But until this happens I will start posting and sharing my continued adventures as I prepare. Enjoy and please spread the word. My plan will include a book, pictures and benefit to a good cause.
