Bikes are only good for one thing: nicking the engines to power cars or hovercraft.
As for the the motard maestro, ive seen video on the internet (probably YouTube) of guys using motorcross style bikes with smaller slick-shod wheels to perform tricks on BMX ramps, it sounds simmilar to your idea.
i got about 500+ acreas of land i can ride on which is pretty much flat plains of dirt with creeks in between them to jump over. Theres also a place i go to every so often thats like 13 hectares or outback Australia pretty much.
I do mostly trail riding. I like the tight technical stuff going through trees and things like that… the kind of stuff where you actually have to turn your bars sideways to get through some of the trees. Gotta have a few good hillclimbs in there too. I live close enough to the mountains to go up there for the weekend or for the day if I want. If I don’t feel like going that far, there’s some really good riding nearer by as well.
Is that a WR or an older YZF? Here’s a pic of mine, I’m 018. I’m to lazy to go out and take a pic of just the bike! The second one is after the clutch burnt up.
I just finished putting a headlight and taillight on it… that’s required where I ride. I tried to make it subtle because it’s too easy for lights to kill the look of a bike. I’ll take pictures. I tapped into my ignition for power (no battery), and am running 11 LEDs off it so the power i’m drawing is negligible. The ignition doesn’t have enough power in it to run an actual light bulb but that’s ok.
The lights are so I can be seen, not so that I can see. I have a switch so I turn it off whenever i’m out of sight after I get checked for registration and insurance (also required where I ride). if i get checked for registration and insurance. They have to catch me first. If they do, I always have it, I just hate stopping for them, they like to take their time. They can’t ticket me for running if I can show them the papers if they catch me, that’s just part of how conservation enforcement works around here.
“They” refers to fish-cops (slang for conservation officers), not real cops. If I know the CO (I know a few of them now, I helped airlift a mountain biker with a broken neck one day so they know me from that), I’ll stop and say hi. They don’t usually check me because they already know I have it. Sometimes they’ll go through the formalities just because that’s their job. If the real cops show up you can be sure i’m gonna stop the first time. Every time. No sense messing with them.
our neighbor had one of those. That thing was a monster! pure horsepower. Then they made it into a 450 and tamed it down.
your soupposed to have a spark arrestor where we are.:o We don’t ride enough on public off road to justify it though. And I think if you get caught, you just get a 20$ fine or something. Like I said, we ride motocross mostly.
ya it is. The auto-decomp cam not only fixes the hot-start problems, but it also gives it more power across the whole rpm range (like it needs any more power )
New chain and sprockets are on, time to go ride. If the weather’s good next weekend we’re gonna try to get one last ride in before the snow. Or maybe we’ll just ride in the snow. Who knows.
Well if you’re trying to cross water you might prefer it in the hovercraft. Lol just kidding, but seriously if you ever get the chance to fly a hovercraft go for it, i used to race them at school and the feeling is so strange compared to racing cars.
No, we had a couple of glass fibre F3 racing hulls, but racing hovercraft engines are notoriously fickle and need alot of messing with on a regular basis.
We went out today for a ride… lots and lots of mud. And hunters everywhere. It was fun though. As long as the weather stays relatively warm we’re gonna get out as many weekends as we can. The snow’s been good about holding off so far.
