Lotus Posted June 20, 2018 Share See, who needs discs!On a descent like that? Not me. I just hang off the back of the saddle and let my butt clench the back wheel. That'll do the job easy. Patchelicious and PhilipV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted June 20, 2018 Share  Spotted this one at last years Eroica SA. Besides for the Eroica logo, it also sports some Campagnolo and Colnago ones - so, the owner has impeccable taste.  It belongs to a local, but I don't know who he is or where he lives. I intentionally did not try to find out, because I'm not sure I will be able to withstand the temptation to go visit in the middle of the night with a lock picking kit, hotwire it (I know how to do a Beetle and that should work on the splittie) and make off with it Wannabe, Hairy, Fruity and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the engines are still as rubbish/under powered as they always have been.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the engines are still as rubbish/under powered as they always have been.. The splittie above probably closer to the 400k mark these days and higher. By modern standards those aircooled motors are under powered sure.But definitely not rubbish - the original design is 80 odd years old and has been used to power everything from aeroplanes to farming implements. By virtue of their simplicity they have been found in the remotest corners of the world, still working. An engineering marvel would be a more apt description. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Hairy and Ed-Zulu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked shells in reasonable condition are now going for 80k plus in the splittie variant. That's JUST the shell. And those old a/c 1600's etc are bulletproof. Just make sure your oil cooling circuits are up to scratch as well - that was their achilles heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
