    TYRE TREAD LIFE ( distance to smooth ,by measurement )

    That'll teach you a lesson, stay in the WC :cool: It is more expensive to bike 2 or more bikes to a ride than to trailer them if you start factoring in all the consumables. Unless the ride there is part of the goal, I trailer - for example doing a Namibia trip, the "straight north 2500 km" to...

    Mid ADV shootout

    Not once you've mastered the art of the "setup " - I went from "wow" to "underwhelmed" to "awesome". Literally all the bikes is 200kg plus - middleweight is pushing it: there is no housewife, gypsy women, British exchange student, red headed stripper or Italian model in the bunch unless you...

    Gas Gas - Your opinion of the brand.

    Can't do a comparison between Morning Pierre ☀️ ...I agree, and the one thing that stands out is the polyimide subframe vs the all aluminum one on the GasGas - without some more research my preference will be for the "all aluminum" GasGas, this after speaking to one of the top racers in Cape...

    Are you stupid?

    🏁 By the time the first Bell Moto came round, I was out of school and earning (SAW :ROFLMAO: ), and money wise, it was out of reach. I carried on with open face and those Scott googles that makes you look like Darth Vader for years. When scouting tracks for WCOC regionals, I used to go...

    Shouldn't you get a SuperTrapp or some reverse cone exhaust?

    POLISH OR DUBBIN YER NEW BOOTS

    Had a second pair of Lubbe's, after the first pair lasted a long time, hardly ever cleaned them and they just lasted. When they were completely past sell by, I bought a second pair, they were very comfortable, and longevity was a plus. Decided to take good care of them, making them last longer...

    You have it the wrong way round... well, for sand which seems what I ride the most, drain front first. If you want to save weight, go less in front rather, fill up the rear and use first.

    I did think about the AJP when writing my post, I mean what is not to like about a 600cc 6 speed?. I also think if a reputable dealer with a sterling workshop reputation (like Runner) took it up, it would have taken off.

    You fuel up, gravel highway for the first odd 200km there, and you still have a lot of ruff stuff left in the tank.

    UR a rally "mistress", me as well. I reckon the the new configuration std bike is the ***** for what we usually ride. Not that I can afford it; Comparable to the KTM 450 EXC and 500 EXC, it can be a good deal if you factor in long range tanks etc etc. Whilst the popular jury is still out on...
