How about this for new engine technology. Could be in our bikes in a year or 2 if they can develop a light enough engine. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuderi_Engine

Been trying to contact Jez all day today and no reply to his phone. Anyone know what's happening? Did his hospital trip go OK - is he on holiday perhaps? TTR
When a rider said his exhaust was under 94db I looked to see what info I could find on noise limits.Seems the bike in question should be restricted to closed course events. While as far as I am aware Devon and Cornwall police do not have noise testing equipment,if it sounds loud it is too loud. Unwelco...
Of rivers being low and ford being ridden for the 1st time in ages make me wonder........? Perhaps a trip to Harty country is in order to look at 192-003 and 181-049
For one fleeting hour or so of madness I almost purchased DRZ 400 on fleabay. I had a mind to have something a little bigger cc wise than the KTM that would cope better on the longer haul without needing a engine rebuild every other lamp post. Was a S model, so not the prefered E. A 2003 but had many new parts a...

An excellent day with thanks to the effort put into this by all the 'knowledgeable' ones. A really good informative day with loads of humour but clear information put across, & a ride around Haccadown with only a few other bikes (plus one enormous quad). I have to say a special thanks to Kerry (Los...

Thank you. The first of the two is my run across Dartmoor. A bit insane I know as it'll be about 60 miles but I've worked hard for it since deciding to it in December. It's in aid of Riders For Health, an organisation that I'm keenly and deeply interested in. You can find more by visiting; http://www.justg...

This event was a legend. Qualifying in the morning with the main event starting after a suitably long French lunch and finishing late at night. This is a video of the '96 event and so there is much less glitter than would be around today if the event was still being run. Things to take on board. There i...
Hearing tales of successful crossings of fords which aren't usually passable led me to remember 201-032,which I looked at then mentally shelved until the words prolonged drought should be spoken. I don't expect the Tamar is low enough yet so don't blame me if you drown,but has anyone ever ridd...
Just came across this.. link It really demonstrates how a trials tyre such as the MT43 will hang on to the rocks and get you up the tricky climb. Cheers, Rich. -- Edited by RichT4 on Wednesday 23rd of June 2010 12:01:50 PM

On me hols at the moment preparing for my Daughter's wedding when the groom and his Dad return from a "shopping" trip on these two!! The DR250 is quite tidy, but the TTR has definitely seen better days!! (they're staying on the tarmac - well as much of the Greek roads that are tarmac!) [IMG]...
