Is motorcycling allowed?

[RocknRolla]

The thought of spending 200k on a motorcycle is insanity in my mind. 
Same with bicycles. Ill have to wait a couple of years before I consider trading the 8gs for a 8fiddy. 
or perhaps win the lottery. 
 

Took the 8gs for a burn through the cradle after dropping the lighty off at school, and even with 116k kms on the clock, I still had a schoolboy grin on my face when I stopped at home.

Thought I'd share pics of my new 2014 kx250f.

 

Full fmf exhaust and header. Vortex ingntion /ECU, racetech gold valves front and back...

Bike has a whopping 60 hours from new

 

Blows my 03 kx125 out the water in every aspect

Nice! I had a 2013 for a while. It ate inlet valves like nothing I’ve ever seen before! Ti Valves and once that hard coating had worn off you’d have to shim every 10 hours. Went through 6 sets of valves in 2 years. Then tried stainless valves with heavier springs but that sapped all its power only being a 250.

 

Had a few 300’s after that. Was heaven. Then got a 450F and shat my pants! Went back to 2-smokers.

 

Enjoy the bike!!

One of my favourite helmet brands has made a 18K gold one off helmet.

Same here with the valves in these motocross machines. 

They are made to opened up every other day for shimming and replacing.

On the bright side, it wheelied for days, hoick it up in 2nd, shift through to 5th and just hold it there for as long and far as you wish.......

Got some cool dudes training here in Dubai. I think they here until the Dakar starts. I’m stalking them....

Is that Toby?

Is that Toby?

Indeed!! Just arrived. Sam Sunderland been here for a month already been doing some MX and stuff. I’ve been trying to catch some of their sessions but they been riding a few km’s off the access roads. I’ve got a bloody Sandton 4X4 and been stuck enough times here now to know I can’t get to a good vantage point. Hoping Toby and Co. will do some of the MX races so I can watch.

Aaaaand as things usually work, shortly after posting this message and getting my head around turning my 125 yellow, I find this in Potch.  Which followed me home about two weeks ago.

 

So change of plan - the 175 will now become a YZ replica.

 

Well, it's either going to look really really good.  Or really cheesy......

A very little of the Tarkastad to Adelaide portion of my Scottburgh to Bedford ride last Saturday. Whole trip was great, 2752kms in 4 days of riding, 2 days off, more a mission than a tour!
