Is motorcycling allowed?

[Andymann]

You silly man, you.

Clean bike with Bosson pipes. You'll never find that again.

No it's about 2km from where I live....I think the bugger starts it and rides past my house just to upset me!

[Andymann]

Same here, RZ50 to RZ125 to RD350LC - sold it to buy RD350YPVS. Sold YPVS to buy a car (a Golf nogal - bad move, but that's a story for another day)

Later on bought a basket case RD350LC (ex track bike, got it in a few boxes) and rebuild / customised it to the hilt. Stayed in Botswana at the time, and motorcycling there was a dangerous affair at the time, so I gave it to my Nephew as a 21st gift, ANOTHER BAD MOVE.

Then got me a XS Eleven Special (another basket case) which I rebuild and customised. Sold that when the youngster became a teeanager, to remove any chance of him pulling the same stunts I did as a teenager.

Now, I'm too old to be playing with 2-Strokes.

You are never too old for a 2-Stroke!

I worked at the Gaborone Sun, Grand Palm and lastly Kings Casino in Lobatse.

Would go back to Botswana in a heartbeat, should the opportunity present itself.

Happy Monday

A journey of 1000miles begins with one step....

 

I suppose it's time to start putting everything back together again.

Not so much.... There is a small part of the market (and apparently it is growing...) that would love a choice of proper 650 DS adventure bikes that you could ride into Africa and also do the technical goat paths closer to home with. I know a few mates that are hanging onto their KTM 640's for that reason.

 

Would love to own one of these. Better yet, I would love to go fetch on in the UK.

Looks a lot like the old BMW GS450 - I wonder if they didn't buy the licence from BMW once they had discontinued it?  Smart move if they did.

No, Husquvarna had those rights, and then sold them to GasGas/Ossa.

 

I've always thought that the front sprocket around the swingarm pivot was a great idea.

The CCM has the BMW 450 engine with its 5 speed gearbox.  Interesting adventure bike.
