Get the money together and I’ll give you my address. LOL
Sorry, but your coment on the apostrofe polise hit me rong.
Motorcycle ping.
Sounds like they’re speaking German to each other. Where is this?
Some of the narrow dirt roads going up into the Swiss Alps are almost as scary, so I hear. I was glued to the floor of the back seat, so what do I know?
P.S. I hate heights, could you tell?
I’m scared of heights. There’s no way I would walk this much less ride a bike on it!
looks a lot like the former yugoslavia to me, but I could be wrong heh.
people are crazy! :^)
PING
No way....
Dats intense! Still, I like it better than the street.
That is a footpath baby.
Back in the day we had a motocross team down at Ft. Hood and I was on it. The best thing was I got to ride lots more machinery than I ever would have been exposed to otherwise. I got to ride a teammates 1975/or 76 model Montesa VR 250. Man that thing was strong, what a powerband and the handling was superb. Next to the KTM 350 of that same time frame I dont think I ever rode anything faster. It truly was a Vehkonen Replica.
I owned the 1975 Bultaco 360 Pursang, the first year they came out with the extended suspensions and it was an open class machine that weighed only 205 lbs, a real screamer, in 3rd and 4th gears unbelievable with 90 mph top end in 5th gear. With its flat track heritage from the Astro 360, you could stay on the gas and slide/power your way thru some really rough terrain. When it got to be a little old I was using it to blast down those rock tank trails at 85 mph! But the Amal carb was junk and the shocks turned to junk real quick, as did the the ignition. You could be going wide open and all the sudden the ignition might die and motor goes buuuuuhhhhh and stops. I was always afraid the motor was going to die at worst times, like on a jump.
So you only had maybe 20 hours running max on it before it was a dog and I did not have the money at the time to replace all those at once. It cost $1500 brand new off the showroom floor.
If could have a collection of evolution era motocrossers it would be the ‘75 360 Pursang, the Maico AW 400, the Montesa 1976 VR 250, the KTM 350 and the 1977 Suzuki RM 370 with a compostime machine of the RM 370 with a TM 400 motor in it.
KTMs are awesome
bookmarked for later
LOL
You can have it all to yourself, baby!
I’m chicken when it comes to heights!
I dont like the streets. To many variables..
Like that footpath didnt. Lol
Oh.. and I love heights.
