    With full luggage and a pillion, is it better or worse than a Transalp over jumps?

    The pistons in the fork are stupid. Horrid machining on them and the ports are tiny.

    New pistons and revalve with correct springs and its a new bike.

    If they were meant to fly they would have wings, aye?

    Apparently the bike is stock suspension but re-sprung and valved. Pretty good for a 200kg+ budget bike.

    Admittedly, a 6'7" world class trials and hard enduro rider makes it look good. And then some.

    Be fucked if I would ride one on Northland single track or try for air time. Yeah, nah.

    I'm only 6'2".

    He's a either a couple of kumaras short of a hangi or massively endowed in the kiwifruit department, too.

    I got the impression a couple of times in the vid that he spotted an opportunity and just has a crack at it.

    With a fierce 250 2t enduro and a trials bike at my disposal, I'm humbled by how little I could ride of what he did on either of them.

    I also get the impression he paid for the bike himself, no proof but quite a few posts from him and his mates on social media imply that.

    Very interesting bike!

    Those of you on socalled media (insta and facething) check out how Pol is doing at Romaniacs on his T7. Bugger all footage on youtube yet.

    When I looked earlier he was 21st in the Bronze class...

    What he is doing with a 200kg bike beggars belief.

    Can't find the one I saw, where the riders are laughing and impressed at what he's up to.
    This is pretty good tho
