My 1996 FE600 and 2008 FE650e
Does anyone have any hobbies that arent bikes? I cook. In another life I was a chef. I should probably start a food thread. We'll see if there's any interest in that.
Edit: Chicken fried rice with storebought potstickers and Pot de Creme. Probably the single worst thing for me I've ever put in my body but it was amazing.

Still here, no Berg in the shed anymore.
Maybe that will change this summer
I'm glad you're hanging out.
Hi there, I've been through some heavy life changes for a while now.
Thankfully doing very well and looking forward to spending some time on this fantastic forum!
Thanks for reaching out!
G'day everyone.
It has been a long time since I visited.
I sold my 2010 FE 570 in 2016 to fund a boating project.
Still have the boat and I am about to pick up a 2012 TE300 that is in very tidy condition.
I couldn't remember my log in details for a second, however brain fog cleared and here we are.
Time to get reading...
Cheers.

Hey everyone, I’m still around as well. I made a move from the Chicago area to Jacksonville, Fl and finally ended up in the Knoxville. I still have my 2000 FE400E, but I haven’t been able to ride in quite some time due to work. It’s nice to see a lot of the same names around here.

No 'bergs in my shed anymore, except a banner and poster or two, and great memories. Arthritis said no more hard core, but I still love to get out exploring on 2 wheels, doing what is now called adventure riding. A bout of cancer and some new joints has slowed me down a bit in the last few years too, but hanging in there.
Got into DR650 Suzukis that have evolved a bit, and got an XT1200Z for pillioning with.

Looks like you have a 790 big bore kit in the DR? How do you like it compared to stock? Have you strengthened the evidently delicate transmission gears?No 'bergs in my shed anymore, except a banner and poster or two, and great memories.

790 is great. I also fitted the only prototype Nova gearbox at the same time, having got involved with their development. Post a 10k km teardown a few changes were made and they went production. I've since fitted 3 more in other DRs, a nicer spread of ratios, a much sweeter change and hopefully more durable than the sometimes problematic stock setup.Looks like you have a 790 big bore kit in the DR?

Nice bikes there, Steve.
Its also got a big valve head and 41 FCR and after a few frame breakages, a reengineered beefed up frame. Suspension is raised with WP CC forks and a longer Ohlins and 18" rim up back and lots of other tweaks to make it tough and a great adv bike for Oz.
I even managed to break the Tenere's frame, must be a message there somewhere.....

Right on! So, you were involved with developing the Nova gears, very cool! Sounds like you have one very nicely set up DR650.
You know, I love DR650s. I've had a handful of them, even buying a new one in 2011. Unfortunately, that 3rd gear debacle was always in the back of my mind and took the enjoyment out of riding them, so I always ended up selling them. I love how many ccs you can get out of them and that's still an attraction for me.
Broke the Tenere's frame, did you? Well, if something can be broken, you Australians will break it. lol. Just kidding, man.
Have a great day and enjoy those bikes!
Oh, are you BergDonk on ADVrider? I'm brucifer over there.
