I'm no expert on geography,...but Tierra del Fuego ain't on the African continent.
yes you are right but also the ch ithole country of Ghana has been mentioned several times and birdwatcher has made mentions of going back their and wants some of his zany ass buds from 24 hour to go with him. So here is your chance to go to africa with birdwatcher and ph uckign party like their is no tomorrow.
Pretty much describes it but Africa ain’t near as crazy as the Rez. If we was in Ghana we’d all go down to the bar for Akpeteshie (translation:”Kill me quick”); rotgut moonshine distilled from the fermented sap of the oil palm.
All hard liquor is poison, Akpeteshie is just up front about that is all.. If you smell or taste it before you drink it, you ain’t gonna. What you do is pretend it’s water, and drink the whole half glass quick before your body has a chance to object. No worries, traditional wooden stools sit pretty low, and it’s probly a dirt floor anyway.

What I would want in a motorcycle.
1) ABILITY TO PULL 80 ALL DAY LONG ON THE INTERSTATE.
...I have heard this eliminates the Harley Sportsters which do pull 80, but which beat you Death doing so. ...
3) THREE CYLINDERS OR LESS.
When loping along at a moderate speed, one to three cylinders impart a pleasant, companiable rhythm whereas IME inline fours are just dull as a post when not wound out.
4) SERIOUS CORNERINGING CLEARANCE.
When it comes to roadbike skills, corners are everything. Gotta be able to lean 30+ degrees in corners. This eliminates all Harleys except for the Sportster cafe racer, which barely makes the cut.
Kind of the old school version of the TW200, not nearly as high tech but you can get just about anyplace on one of these. 1979 Honda Trail 90 with a high/low gears

Just that I don't like them & would never own one.
Already said what I own & ride; if I were to change today, given the latest models, most likely be a Fat Boy or look around & find a mint 2014 CVO Road King.

Yeah,...they're alright. But I've done the Harley thing a couple of times. I've done the Brit bike thing a few times. I've done the big inline 4 Japanese bike thing many times. I've done the Ducati thing. I'm just not interested in conventional motorcycles any longer.
The big, automatic transmission scooters are a whole different riding experience. My advice,...don't mess with them if you want to stay interested in conventional motorcycles. They'll spoil you rotten.
You'll never be able to go back to all of that upshifting, downshifting, looking for neutral, and being locked into one riding position again.
2003-2004 Suzuki 650 Burgman's had faulty primary spline adapters as they came from the factory. If the adapter took a dump it would fry the transmission,..and they were taking a dump with alarming regularity. A guy in Poland started manufacturing some that would fix the problem so I sent off to Poland for one of them and installed it in my bike. They've got videos in English that detail the process now. But back when I installed mine I only had this to go by. I wanted my wife to translate, but she was unfamilar with a lot of the mechanical terms he was using.
I didn't know what da fug he was saying, but after watching the video a couple of times, I figured it out. I didn't beat the hell out of mine with a brass hammer, however.
Just buy the DR650 and be done with it. Rode it around a bit today, great bike.
DR650's are dual purpose bikes. They're good for what they're good for. But a 650 Burgman is a middleweight Goldwing. They're made for eating up lots of miles at interstate speeds comfortably.
Dude, it's a scooter. On steroids, but in the final analysis, a scooter.

Yeah,...it's a scooter that will cruise smoothly and comfortable at triple digit speeds all day long if the cops leave you alone and carry a suitcase under the seat.

Understood. Not judging, just feel a little sad for y'all.
Feel sad for yourself. You show up here regularly to spit on your mirror. That's indicative of a fairly serious screw that has either came loose or was never properly tightened to start with.
