stumbled on this channel last night, and after watching this clip I seriously need to play catch-up on the adventure.

He's pretty entertaining in his own way, and that he is doing it on such a tiny bike is a brilliant dig at the Dual Sport crowd.

FYI ... selling of a Shark flip up/full face helmet.

Size: medium
Silver

Kept mostly as a spare/pillion helmet and has seen minimal use.
In good condition with clear visor.
Top vent clip has a minor crack but still works perfectly.

Super keen to see this, if anyone can make it interesting it will be these guys. 

 

At first I rolled my eyes at the idea, but after watching the promo reel, hooked. Yip the koolaid tasted good.

Quite a few years back there was a guy who did the mini Attakwas MTB race who arrived at the start with his MTB attached to his motorcycle in almost the same way.

Do any of you guys have issue with neighbors complaining about your bike noise?

 

have dislocated my shoulder so started the bike up yesterday and let her idel for about 5mins. (first time the bike has been started in 2 weeks) an hour later i got a call from the guard that people are complaining about the bike noise.

Suppose it depends on how noisy the bike is.......

Tell them they are lucky they don't have me for a neighbour.  And then play them this.

 

 

That will be the end of any discussion.

That bike sounds pretty mean.

One of the old race bikes we had.  Rebuilt it and stuck a fake headlight and taillight on.

 

We take it out once a year to Clarens where the Cops generally turn a blind eye.

pretty loud, something like 103db i'm guessing. 

 

there was no rev bombing going on. Just start and left it for 5mins.

They will get over it!

 

Years ago I lived in a complex in Midrand. Kids were little and I would take them to the gate and back on the bike. Body corp then issued a notice that bikes and vehicles with noisy exhausts must just enter and exit via the gate and not ride around the complex.......so to appease the cockwombles I did that precisely, out the gate, turn around and back in.... Honestly I tried hard not make a racket. Realized complex living is not for me.

Now, years later I do try to keep the noise down in the village, Big Zed with the Yoshi pipe will almost awaken the dead when wound up!

 

Honestly, 5 mins at idle, not excessive in my opinion!
