Hi I'm cliff just bought a TTR to do the db1k on...this is a 24 hour 1000k trail ride through the south island of nz on 21/22 jan 2012...I do it in two days though!...did it last year on a wr250r...going to fit a nomad rear tank to take range over 200k's and change gearing from 13/52 to 14/52...top speed at the mo only 100kmh so need to up it a bit without making the bike to difficult off the road.Greetings to all fellow riders.
Hello Cliff and welcome to the TTR forum - Happy New Year to you too.
It seems that you don't do things by half - 1000k trail ride seems a daunting prospect to me. You have chosen a good bike on which to do it and you've obviously thought it through in detail.
I wish you luck.
Don't forget to take plety of pictures of your exploits and we'd like a detailed report so that we can all marvel - please
