Part 0: DRZ400S mods:
I got lucky when I picked this bike up in 2005. It already had the Yosh pipe and muffler (header oversized with Yosh muffler) and the exhaust bomb. It already had the air box opened up and was jetted and adjusted with a dyno for the entire setup. It also came with a jell seat, Renthal bars, Aecurbus bark busters and various electrical ‘enhancements’ All engine casing covers were armoured and a heavy duty skid plate was installed. That was my starting point.
When I tell someone that I’m going to Death Valley the immediate response is ‘Why would you go there!’. After all, any place with a name like DV, well, if you haven’t been there, it brings to mind some poor soul dying of thirst under a blazing sun 
. To those that have been there, it brings memories of mountains, valleys, flowers, grasses, trees and grand geological features. To a motorcyclist, it brings to mind thousands of dirt and paved road miles. A destination that is a ride. So, I boogied on down to DV for a couple of days. Check out my pics and story !
