reflecting, my lífe is a bit like the top speed test yesterday: No margins for error but hugely exciting :p

Said yes. Late lunch, Nepalese, at the coast. Ex+1 pasagier in het span. Great drive that with perfectly balancing passenger, good food, very good company. Note to self; stick to legal max speeds.

Two links to óld articles in Dutch. Worth to google trick an read. http://www.moturist.nl/kawa1300_1.html http://www.moturist.nl/kawa1300_2.html Very much applicable to mý dethrottled R18 with Velorex. Way longer wheelbase, better front rubber so less ´snow plow´ and because the Velorex...

Won´t fit. In fact doés not fit. An exceptional female friend of mine; very lush and a natural blond, would lóve to but NoGo like a 1.50 mm feeler gauge in a 0.15 mm gap. My Ex. is júst right and stúnningly attractive but I broke it off 6 month ago. Was not worth the agravation. Have a short...

On sidecars it was customary half a century before the ´dark side´ cult.

Looks like I am going for a second wheel with 175/60R16 82H Falken winter: Flat tread and 10% lower gearing.

Anyone know if the cast TC wheel is compatible with spoked K34 wheel? Secondly does running it tubeless give any issues? Much appreciated.

the by far best sofar: https://www.sidecars.org.uk/tyres.html as the R18 is 16" it remains a possible. Rather big issue is that the spec sheet mentions M/C or MTH2 type, making car ones illegal. Lacing a car rim in place is also illegal. Since it is not legal anyway, might just as well go...

No, not going ´dark´. On the sidecar the tractor does not lean so an mc thread profile is wrong; it should be flat. Hence sidecar specific tyres áre. I already have one up front and it indeed makes a difference. So, the rear... Found that a 185/60 R16 should be the ticket. The 5.0" rim even...

The torque of the R18 engine is such that it can break traction on all but the most grippy of surfaces in the first two gears at low speed. You just ´need´ to literally hánd it to the thing. The traction control is réally good. With it on you will probably provoke a black smear and may notice...

Stepping from a Vespa on the R18 rig and vv is álmost traumatic :ROFLMAO: After 2.300 kms of near no-road on the Vespa I was not all that subtle on the rig :rolleyes: Beejeezus did we thrásh the poor things. Next is thataway although a different way, with the BMW rig. Nor that many kms/day as...

Mwah; The mc scene here is predominantly practical Chinese, sports, HD and BMW all road.

Buenas Manuel, desde el nororiental de Málaga. Yours sure is bigger than mine :ROFLMAO: If you search you can find plenty from me trans peninsula. Just, a week, back from an adventure trip in Morocco; had great fun with the Gallegos and Asturianos in the group. Chupitos galore :ROFLMAO...

A word of caution: Unless you are experienced with drifting bikes, on a solo bike ONLY try it out under VERY controlled circumstances at low speed in second gear. Also best on gravel as suggested. The torque is such and it works so seamlessly that you basically have nó clue about how often it...

in the light of @R2K´s trials a none issue but... side side reflector with correct homologation number fell of under way. The sticky stuff is still on the mud guard; it fell off it´s own pad :oops: Ah well, tis but a detail, albeit crucial over here :rolleyes: and easily enough replaced now I...
