Yeah I agree Motu it'd be a good bike if you trailered your bike to all the rides. Would need an auxilary tank in my opinion. bit like these

Just get one of these

[XTC]

So you'd rather have one even uglier than the one you've already got?

You grumpy old bugger - You're just pissed that you missed the ride

Fuck no! you wouldn't race the pampera. its a basic trail bike. based on a trials motor so it tractors along.
only have a quick ride of one a few years ago and seemed good.

Thats what I said.

Is the Pampera oil injection or premix?
If its the latter its not really suitable as an adventure bike IMO - too much hassle/f.....g around.

Just checked and they are a premix.
There aren't to many oil injection trail bikes any more, from what I have seen.
You can get some nifty and small measuring bottles now days.
For me it's not the premixing it's carry extra gear in the pack.
But then again on the old trials bikes we rode (mine a RL250) we carried a pill bottle of oil (or more than one bottle), to which we new how much petrol to add.
Got some funny looks as we shook the shit out of the bike's to mix the oil in to the petrol.

On a organised adventure ride,like a Britten one - they truck the fuel to the lunch stop,depends on how much it holds.My BSA Bantam had an oil measure built into the filler cap,so you could mix at the pumps...and shake the booty.My DT230 has a pump,and the tank lasts about 800km,so it's a big day,or two days riding to need to carry extra.So the Pampera is really a bike you ride from your trailer,and back - perfect for trail rides.As an adventure bike - only for organised stuff,for someone like me who tends to wander irrationaly it could be a problem.But if I had one I'd use it for the intended purpose.
