Itchy Boots - New Season

[BuRP]

een of ander top Duitser

I spot an oxymoron somewhere.....

 

[sidetrack]

Nee - jy's Japans-bedonnerd, so jy sal jouself moet dwing om haar te volg as sy enigiets anderste ry.

Nee ek kyk as ek belangstelling in n bike het soos Dirtwarp. Ek het self n Rally gehad so daai seisoen en die CRF 250L geniet. Selfde sal wees met die Tenere. Die Himalayan is nie n bike wat ek sal koop nie so het net hier en daar gekyk. Haar CB500X travels ook heeltemal n skip gegee. Die Kove sal ook interssant gewees het.

Expected soon in the News....

WANTED by Sidetrack: an antique Noraly-Replica Yamaha Tenere!



PS: Dan2Stroke het eene, nogals mooi ook, maar glo swaar hy sal die een laat gaan, behalwe natuurlik as jy stewig gaan hoes

Jammer syt nie die vorige model gevat nie, die een NET na die 34L, maar ook met die happy knoppie

Soos dit vir my lyk is die bike waarmee sy ry n 1VJ model maw die model net na die 34L. Met kick en happy button. Die dubbel hooflig model na hom was die 3AJ en die het net happy button gehad.

Who posted that shortlist of bikes?!

Noraly surprised us all! Her new bike is as old as she is...

 

[Jacobsroodt]

Interessant dat hulle die standaard voorsuspensie gehou het. Ek is seker daar is aan die suspensie gewerk, maar die tradisionele konfigurasie is seker meer betroubaar as die moderne Upside Down modelle.

.... en sal ook nie die indruk gaan skep nie.
Dis n stokou fiets, die kans is groot dat Yamaha haar n moderne fiets van hulle gaan anbied!!!

Yamaha bou nog nie 'n moderne fiets nie...

"moderneRE"


Better?

 

[Jacobsroodt]

Ek het al 'n pad gestap met vergassers. IMHO is brandstofinspuiting net baie meer betroubaar as vergassers.

Beautiful old School, I think this is going to be very interesting ride
Double the cc, huge tank, Yamaha reliability
Completely rebuilt (except the frame)
Going to be a good season
Wonder where the Odo and rev counter are?

Seker sy sal n ekstra petrol filter op sit vir lande met dodgy petrol

 

[Jacobsroodt]

These stats might become an issue.

And I am not sure that this joke will make old bones. This bicycle bell is not loud enough for the speeds travelled, and the round piece will eventually work loose and get lost.

My seun het ons CRF230F verdrink op die Philadelphia funduro. Ek moes eers modderwater uit die vergasser was voor die fiets weer behoorlik sou loop. EFI is nie 'n probleem nie.

Front brake line will also need to be in a rigid sleeving otherwise it will kink, some work left on that bike.

Ja en hulle kan blykbaar baat by 'n boosterplug!

 

[Jacobsroodt]

A plastic tank would have worked much better to reduce COG. Those big metal tanks are heavy!

I see Motogadget indicators, maybe they fitted a complete M-unit and gauge

Still lighter than almost all modern bikes that size

 

[Fuzzy Muzzy]

I didnt see this coming, when she test rode the 450L she said it was way too powerfull for her, so she got something taller and more powerful
