The Obligatory Post Your Bike Topic

[RatsMC]

Well, you can never go wrong with the CRF. However, it might be a little down on power compared to the others. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the KTM. Personally, I'd probably go for the Husky or the KTM but if you want something you know will always run, the CRF is the right choice.

[Pantah]

Mate of mine had a CRF over here a while ago....It was a lot of fun.I was always looking for an extra gear though......Are speed limits strictly enforced in your country ,ales17 ?

[ales17]

First I was thinking in line of something that could be legally run on the road but now I'm not so sure any more!

I have to say they are weary strictly enforced!
Also we have weary high penalties but I'm not sure it really helps.
And a lot of cops around! Also because I live near the outside border of EU.

Example for Inside urban area where limit is 50km/h
- less than 10 km/h over the limit: 80 EUR
- 10 to 20 km/h over the limit: 250 EUR + 3 points
- 20 to 30 km/h over the limit: 500 EUR + 5 points
- more than 30 km/h over the limit: 1.000 EUR + 9 points and no more driving
- more than 50 km/h over the limit: 1.000 EUR + 18 points and you have to do the driving license again

Hmmmmm.We can get our licence back here if you do a half day lecture and pay 13,800 yen..........The fines can be pretty heavy if you get caught
The country back roads where we ride are not really policed at all so that is somewhat of a factor in my bike choice.. Maybe the CRF is good ,then (provided you get it registered). Either way,getting another bike is FUN...

From what I've heard from friends, basically you're quoted whatever the officer that caught you feels like giving. Not sure if an upper limit actually exists.

Ales17 if your in Slovenia you might contact Borut from Zeeltronic(Maribor) he will probably know who has all the 2T bikes
White looks better Gustav and that 5 hundy is very mean Pantah, great trench digger. Rocks thrown up by big bores hurt

Rocks thrown up by big bores hurt

Don't I know it, I limped for 3 days after following my mate (who was riding my KX500) a number of years ago

[Pantah]

We often ride in the riverbed near here.Rocks average between fist and melon size......Those fist size one travel very ,very fast....Id hate to be hit by one........

Ouch, that hurts just thinkin' about it. Brings back memories of riding the creek bed near where I grew up. Exactly why I learned to be the fastest in the neighborhood, rocks/roost hurt.

Gustav, I like the white much better than the black. Just looks "sharper" to me.

Yep.

[Gustav O]

I find the white a bit too poliched and nice. I prefer the black, but I always do.....but I appreicate the nice comments.

[Rusty Bucket USA]

I'll side with you on the black, then.
Just the little avatar photo looks great!

+1 on that- but with the white you can now do a lord of the rings-gandalf style comeback

I better quit trimming my beard sooner rather than later then.

Gandalf back on track.





Only two runs yesterday though, small mechanical hiccups and two long red flags due to a blown engine and one big crash.. Two weeks and We´ll be on it again.

Hi, I'm Len and I'm an addict. It's been 30 days since I bought a motorcycle...


I sold the Hawk (sniff ) and the VTR (I don't miss the street at all). So it's just the 749 and the 650 now...

My Daily Rider!


Some of the toys. We mini MX on the monkey's. I think all up my wife (XT225/TLR50), my son and I have about 15 bikes. Couple of '96 CR125's an old hand built 7 speed 125 GP bike my dad race back in the late 60's, Couple of trials bikes. Plenty to play on. I was a motorcyle mechanic for 27 years so you collect a bit along the way!






I change this one back and forth so I still get to ride on the dirt.


Still have the XT6 as well Gave it to the son when I got the DRZ

[motomania]
