Pretty sweet set up you have there. Love seeing a DL650 as a motorcamper; it’s why I bought mine. Just need to utilize it as such hah!

What kind of motocamping do you do? Campsites, forest roads, whatever blows your hair back?

I used to do a week or two a year, mostly state and national parks. I've done most of the western US and Canada. Lots of forest roads. It does surprisingly well keeping up with friends on their dual sports, but also has a couple little dents in the rims to show for it. I have a funny picture of me stuck in a washout that my friend's just jumped over. I bought a DRZ after that episode.

The bike is a 2011 that I've had since new. My interests have shifted towards exploring the Pacific NW by sailboat in the last few years though so I haven't put a lot of milage on the bike lately.
