The TRX looks very nice. Much better than my TDM  :lol
Today I finished my project „side stand without crash bar“. On the BMW R100R and R100GS the side stand is mounted in the crash bar. This means no crash bar = no side stand. Best solution in that case is a Mystic side stand. Never available used and new for 300 €. Mystic copies cost about 250  €. So I bought a damaged set of crash bars for 27 € incl. postage. And had some fun with, grinding welding and painting.

O.k. So not me personally but thought my brother had been a bit quiet for the last few days and today I found out why.
It was a  bit of an animal on the road but now it's been supermoto'd.......  It still is, just goes round corners better.  :D

Dazza.....what BHP doesthat husky thing have then.....i remember meeting a couple of chaps one day and i tagged along on a coastal run...an FZ1 naked and a Huskie race tuned thingy like that with stickers all over it....it was nuts...on the back wheel most of the time....but soon ran out of puff even on moderate twisties........after going to a twin im like that to a certain degree although mine has 80 odd BHP so can still do a tonne ten at a push but mostly im at 85-90 and giving it some just to be there.

Good question Noggy, I think husky have got it about 51 at the crank with a 0.9 hp loss at the back wheel. Yes, they are going to run out of puff but weighing in at just over 100 kg and the way it delivers its power I can see it monstering my Fazer in the tight technical twisties. Going to put that to the test soon.  :)
 
I did a little speed test, me on my DRZ, as I hit my max of 95 it was just pulling away from me. I maxed it out about 108 indicated, think it may read a couple of mph faster due to the smaller diameter front wheel. When I held mine at 60, the Husky's clock was reading between 60 and 62.

Had a friend built a motard using an aircooled yamaha YZ490, fucking animal of a bike. first time out it span in 1st then second, gripped in 3rd slamming my mate straight into the ground, breaking both collarbones.

He never rode it again

Theres a really nice TRX cafe in Grantham, spoked wheels and usd forks (think they were but been awhile) will try to get a pic of it sometime.

Ahh yes, owned an old air cooled 490 many years back. 4 speed box and could be a bastard to start.
Thing was like a coiled spring just waiting to hurt you. Flipped mine in 3rd gear too, just remember seeing the rear mudguard shatter as I slid down the road behind it looking at the sparks.
Even rode it off road for a while with a knackered shock,  that was challenging. :lol

Get a pic up mr Bloggs 8)


I could have had a much better condition standard TRX for the same money......even a mint one.....one that would maybe appreciate a little......but i just couldnt resist having this one regardless of its faults.....took it to work for a meeting earlier on.....filled me with joy....every pissed off pedestrian i seen made it even better...it is that loud :evil


Yes i have to hold back now....going from nigh on 150bhp to 80 ish bhp that is gonna happen......but im more sensible because of it.....i inow its limits....the pressure isnt on to be performing, even the self induced pressure...it is fast enough....and looks cool...and sounds cool....what more do i need............a triple...thats what :b

Just got back off a mini break with the missus on the tiger. Blackpool to Barnard Castle for a couple of nights and exploring the sights of Durham.

It was her first time where we've spent the night away on the bike, and had to pack both the panniers with the usual ladies items. I had barely a tank bag full. ::)

She enjoyed it though, she's planning France next year!
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Got talking to a chap who used to race TZs on the Island the other day, he made me laugh. When I mentioned I'd owned a couple of H2 750s, he said, "ah yes, used to be said they were the only petrol-cooled motorcycles"  :lol

Was in Matlock a couple of years ago when the Kawasaki triples club arrived, there was an RGV250 with a KH750 lump fitted, it had three unsilenced expansion chambers, and the sound, the most evil sounding twostroke I've ever heard.
Gave me a twitch........

I took the XJ600 to have new chain and sprockets fitted. I got caught in torrential rain coming back. Of course, the sun is out now.

Took a blast to Aberystwyth with my mate on his CBF, couple of adventurers joined  us over the presselis


The weather was spot on.....sun high in the sky and offset so not straight in my eyes....was nicely cool and the roads were great....and pretty quiet too....had fun on the noggyfighter....being able to cane a bike wide open and al the way through the revs from 2nd gear onwards is pretty amusing :) .


Had a shot of the CBF on the way home to see what my mate was moaning about and fook me it is bloody scary......back end is totally frightening....like it was trying to crab sideways when you started turning in...or the bike was twisting in the middle...he reckons it is aparently a common flaw and a new rear shock will sort it out...fook me ive never experienced anything like it :eek .


Finished off mooching in the local bike dealers where he was looking at an old model Tiger 1050.
