For someone like molten who is fit and likes to work hard on big bike I think they are fine. But for normal WD rotund types on big bikes (bigger than 690/701) I would do issue a disclaimer if I'm you. As you know heatstroke is massive risk there. At the end of the day one WD sadly already died...

Here is that soutern track now - I have ridden it last week:

I think you a little pushing it designating the Porth Nolloth tracks that I gave to Justin (both of them) a scenic routes. I mean they are really scenic, no doubt, but if some numbnut on GS will hit that sand unawares it is not going to end well. Indeed I would say that they are fully on par or...

Bart, you are missing the point. 500s in US are limited to be 50 states legal, so they have significantly less power than the ones sold here, which are unrestricted. So yours is the 55 - 60 hp version, not the 39 version they have in US and that was ridden by Everide in the video.

An update from 2020 from that lady copywritter above: https://youtu.be/APr0WUikEi8 And just for kicks here is SA contribution on fiverr (she has also tutorial videos): https://youtu.be/P5OMm4ePffI OK, I will stop spamming you now - I'm sure you are going to land wheels down.  :thumleft:

Mrs Zog, did you consider fiverr.com? I know it is a brave new world of gig-economy, but let's face it - you are already living in it anyway. I'm sure it will take time to build yourself up there but if you do you should have good independent income. Maybe worth trying. You can offer almost...

I believe you are busy shooting yourself in the leg with daily gum. You are going to overcook and be fatigued for the race - you are too late for that. You are also putting too much focus on strength - especially arms which I think is completely wrong focus. If I look at some of the best rally...

So you are training to get tired? I'm not sure that training to exhaustion in the shortest possible time is the way to go for rally when you are going to be on a bike whole day. Rather than getting stronger / fitter at this point in time (i.e. increase your fuel tank so to speak) I think it is...

Ball of feet is front right behind your toes. You definitely should not be riding standing on your heels  ;) Are you riding 300 or 990 in the rally? If 990 why are you wasting time on 300, especially as you say that you struggle on it offroad in proper attack position? You are just building...

Plenty of good advice here, but I think you need a reality check. The rally starts three weeks from now. No matter what exercise you are going to do you are going to improve your fitness only marginally by then and if anything you run the risk of overcooking it and being fatigued for the rally...

time in the saddle. This year the planets didn't align as I'm going live with new system at work. I might look into it next year - depending how your attempt goes  O0

Not to be a party pooper - especially as I suspect that it was me who sold you the idea  >:D - but looking on the planned distances for individual days (300km day 1, 500 km day 2, and 270km day 3), it will be very tough going. Maybe you will get lucky and those include long liaisons - on which...

I really doubt it - otherwise they would just have left the rear tubeless. Given that this is supposed to be no compromise bike for offroad I would bet that the rear is narrower as well as that is superior for offroad (tyre choice, strength of the rim and protection from dings). That doesn't...

I thought Rally has narrower rims than standard R - one of the reasons why they are not tubeless. Does Rally still have 150 rim at the back?

OK, that one I know quite well. I'm guessing you are already back home, but if not and you are keen on some nice roads to ride (assuming you are on the bike) let me know and I can plot some route. Though it will be 100% of tar as they have very dim view on offroad riding in SK.

Oh yeah - and the pics are really good so stop faking modesty  >:D

I don't log to the forum much anymore, but since you are in my backyard (well the former one, currently my backyard is Limpopo) I might need to stick around for couple of days to see where this is heading.  O0 I hope you didn't have a run in with one of the many overpopulated bears there - or...

Gary, L39 is a Czech, not Russian plane. I know we all look the same to you, but felt compelled to point it out  :peepwall: ;)

I have a bad hunch that they are going to block that gate you go through into Legkalameetse from Penge / Noname. They already build two pillars in the gate so the 4x4s cannot pass and there were rolls of linked fence on the ground next to it. The gate itself wasn't locked so I could get through...

Orrie is not even the most difficult in that area, let alone SA, as you know. Actually it is the easiest, maybe on par with the no-name one. I've done Penge two weeks ago and my inner evil self was hoping that you guys will go for it - you would have plenty of choice words to share  >:D. It is...
