The alternative route... A great day was had by all..

[AntonW]

I was able to refuel putting in about 6 litres at a time, until the last sprint, where I made it to within about 2 k's to the Total garage where we met. Apart from that, all was good... I would do it again with an extra litre on my back, just in case..

Slip streaming me helped  :imaposer:

 

[Heddles]

Yes it did buddy.. As a matter if interest, what was the fastest speed you saw with me behind you..?

 

[Mambat]

When you guys doing this route/ride again?

I would love to join, that is an area I have no knowledge of, so very keen to see the route!

That farmer would really love me with my blerry loud Leo Vincies cracklin and poppin 

Cheers

That Zorst of yours sure has a nice "Beat" > > ;D

Heh heh.. I will go and count the teeth.. It is a bit of a dog my one, I have realised.. Noisy and heavy on fuel.. I am quite gentle on it but it uses oil and you have to keep an eye on that. I have decided though to ride it and if it breaks, I will fix it properly. If it doesn't, I will rebuild the motor properly anyway... It gets no noisier and hasn't lost any power... I check the oil quite often and put a pint in every few tanks. I will change the filter at 2000...

Sprockets are 14 and 45.... The bike's speedo is not working at the mo so I go according to the other guys distances ridden for now.. I will probably repair it this week...

:thumleft: there in is the difference, I'm riding a 14/50 combo so it doesn't have much top end but oh boys, does she shunt low down  ;D

I'm guessing there were enough fuel stops for you along this route because I see you still riding a stock tank?

Run 14-47 the WR won't pull more than that. 154km/h top speed if the carb is right. Heddles just change the oil every 8 hrs or 500km and that motor will keep going unless she has damage from dirty airfilters .

 

[Heddles]

Yeah, that's my thinking.. It seems to get an automatic change every time i refill it with oil. about 500 k's and it will take 500 ml of oil.. We will see..

I know the harbour master at Simons Town is looking for a WR - to use as an anchor  :imaposer:

I would push that rattly thing straight into the sea  :lol8:

That Yamaha will keep running on the bottom and pull the harbour wall out to the deep-sea. :3some:

 

[Heddles]

Yeah sorry guys.. My mechanical experience and knowledge far outweighs my stupidity. Yamaha is a proven brand and the WR has a name  that could be compared to historic figures.. I am never going to slate a brand or model but you will still be surprised by that little bike. Rattly is not necessarily bad.. 2SD is not a blue fan for nothing..
Give it oil, fuel and water and it will be fine..

 

[AntonW]

i was doing 120 to 125 real speed towing you (air rope) and the other day when we were messing around you ran to over 150.

I was thinking that an oil cooler would be a good idea. i really fancy the one I saw on a XR and on a rally bike that fits around the steering head.

I want a WR but I don't have R99K spare  >

 

[JustBendIt]

You don't need 99K for a WR

Heddles paid a 3rd of that for his

You can get a very lekker well looked after example for a max of 40K and then add a 15l Safari Tank (200 km range) for another 5K - this package will blow the kak out of your six vrotty

 

[AntonW]

This is why I need R99k for a WR.

And leave my 640 alone. it is like a wife. A bit old, not great condition, gives you shit, not looking so good anymore, but rides lekker and you love it.  :imaposer:

 

[Heddles]

I was thinking you wanted a 2013 model. Then I would say yes.. But to have this, an 07, with all that expensive stuff on it, I don't agree.. Just my opinion...

You forgot to add that she smokes a lot and pisses herself every time you ride her  :laughing4:

 

[Heddles]

No man guys... Stick to the thread subject here.... Where are the pics..?

Just when I think I cannot like you more than I did. You are dead right. Yamahas are tough, tougher and toughest.

 

[Heddles]

;D

 

[Heddles]

Just pics. One by one and with no descriptions... I really enjoyed the company and the ride...

 

[Heddles]

Another one... Waiting for one of the guys who had a puncture.. Andy had a chance to use his new toolkit...
Who could wish for a better ride companion. Prepared to the hilt, for anything...

 

[Heddles]

I am a sucker for good looking bikes. But then, I love CX500's.. (",)
Say what you like.. These things are pretty...
