ULTIMATE MOTORCYCLE RESTORATION
After a couple of years of restoration, Nugget has finally brought his 34-year-old 1990 Suzuki DR650 R Dakar back to his shed. Join Nugget as he meets up with Clubby and Dave to discuss the build process and what this project means to him. This bike is not staying in the shed collecting dust. Nugget will be heading out to Cameron Corner with Dave and Clubby on a 10-day motorcycle adventure later this year. Don’t miss out on the stories, insights, and passion behind this incredible restoration journey!

Nothing like a bunch of 40-50 year olds, absolutely geeking over a bike. Warms my heart.

Agreed!
Love these old bikes from an era when quality and reliability mattered.😊 They even had the right look. Non of these new fancy toys that need to be serviced every other hour will ever compare to or survive as long as the 80s-90s DRs, XRs XLRs, TTs, XTs and KLRs. These old bikes have the right look, feel and sound. And one could fix everything in the outback. Todays toys a sensor goes bad and you are stranded. I would never put my money on a computer on 2wheels. Really love Nuggets entusiasm and feelings for these classic bikes. Looking forward for the upcoming adventures with Nugget on this bike.
