This month, we’re excited to feature ProCycle customer Joshua Hudson from Pennsylvania! Joshua, who is a US Navy veteran, enjoys spending time on his 2006 Suzuki DR650, as well as his 2012 BMW G650GS Sertao and 2020 Moto Guzzi V85TT.
Joshua has done quite a few modifications to his DR, including adding a manual choke, Acerbis tank, upgraded clutch plates, a windshield with integrated rack, and bash plate. He also added lower pegs, ProCycle side fairings, and bar risers.
Joshua has recently taken three trips through the Allegheny National Forest and parts of the MABDR. Previously, he had been riding some larger bikes and struggled a bit with handling the weight and bulk on those routes, so the DR650 turned out to be the perfect solution! However, because of the age of his DR at time of purchase, Joshua had to catch up on a bunch of maintenance (the tires were old, clutch was shot, and choke didn't work). Luckily, ProCycle was here to help get him going again!
With his DR now back in tip-top condition, Joshua plans to do the full MABDR this year and the NEBDR soon, as well as an eventual tour through Nepal!
Thank you, Joshua for sharing your build and adventures with us!
