I can see why the speedo is covered, with NOS - if you are going to lose your license, may as well do it properly by at least triple digits.

is that a basic?

so is this for when you are feeling 'retro' or are you replacing the cruiser?

It's a 1986 R80G/S Paris Dakar (the Gaston signature one) with only 54,000kms on it. And yep, it's for when I'm feeling retro.


I've never owned a cruiser, that was a press bike.
This one goes in the shed with the two KTM's and the TT500.

depends on your definition of cruiser

[Eddieb]

depends on your definition of cruiser

Is that definition about as accurate as your one of a big bike Mark?

[marks]

Is that definition about as accurate as your one of a big bike Mark?

the definition is simple really:

a cruiser is a bike that I should never have taken into the place I am currently stuck in and will likely rupture myself when I try to pick it up

ktm adventures are firmly in this category for me and I suspect most AVERAGE riders

[Crisis management]

Congratulations Oscar, I'd own an airhead :love: myself if I had the spare cash







Secretly I hate you.

[Oscar]

On that basis my 950 is a cruiser.
I dropped it down hill on the FNAR and it took three of us to pick it up.

[Eddieb]

On that basis my 950 is a cruiser.
I dropped it down hill on the FNAR and it took three of us to pick it up.

I have picked up both my 950 once, and the PD a few times on my own so I know I can do it. Recovering the PD from down a bank back onto the track is another story, it took 5 of us on the CCA pre ride to do that.

But then Padmei had to call for assistance when he put Gonzo down a bank recently so the KLR probably lives in the same category.

Used to read 'Ride The World'. Simon & Lisa Thomas. Their website (http://2ridetheworld.com/) is worth a browse. They've been going 9 yrs 10 mths...:not:

[clint640]

Rine: From Middle English rinen, from Old English hrīnan (“to touch, lay hold of, reach, seize, strike, have connection with, contact”), from Proto-Germanic *hrīnanan (“to touch”), from Proto-Indo-European *krey- (“to strip, touch”). Cognate with Old Saxon hrīnan (“to touch”), Old High German hrīnan (“to touch”), Icelandic hrína (“to cleave, hurt, overtake”).

But if you want to get to their website you'll have to run with Steve's theory :yes:
