Pottsy’s DIY DR650
It’s a 2011 DR650, but look closely. There’s a lot going on here. There’s a lot going on you can’t see as well.
DIY’ isn’t a model designation. It’s our tip of the hat for the amount of work the owner’s done to this bike.
Matthew ‘Pottsy’ Potts, 45, of Coffs Harbour, is actually well-known to readers of Adventure Rider Magazine.
In issue #04 he made his mark with a unique addition to his bike, and then more recently he cut the footpegs off the mag’s KLR and welded them back on a little further rearward – causing the editor to chuck a thrombo in the process, but resulting in a truly incredible improvement in the bike.
