Only cost $36,500.00 USD. Need to cut a LOT of wood to make that cost up.

While traveling in Peru, I could not help checking out the local rides. Almost all were in the 125 to 200 cc range with very few any larger. Bigger the cities, bigger the bore. Smaller bikes had carburetors and appeared to function well between 10,000 ft to 15,000 ft elevation. Rare to see a two-stroke. Lots of Chinese and Korean machines with the regular Japanese hardware (Honda/Yamaha). Names like Mavila (Korean, now made in Mexico), Ronco, Wanxin (Honda CT 70 clone?), Bajaj, Ssenda, Lifan and Futong to name a few. Stuff I've never heard of before. The MotoKab taxis were very popular in smaller towns. Van

Midweek temps down in the desert
Van replied to vanjoosten's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
I'm 99% out. Other interest (hard to imagine, I know) prevail on Wednesday...but if it falls through... Have a great ride! -
I'm running 14-45 (almost stock) and its a bit tall. Tighter terrain and you'll want to drop it down like D4Less.

Alpine to Anza Overnight Ride Sept. 15 & 16th
Van replied to wildwood's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
At first I thought you were referring to the dude with his hands on the teets, a typical Wisconsin (Kug?) thing, then I noticed the "Kug". -
Whats up with riding, eye glasses and goggles?
Van replied to 97xr400r's topic in Personal & Riding Gear
Just wearing prescription glasses/sunglasses under goggles. The hard part I find is not rubbing the foam of the goggles against your glasses (putting them on over glasses) as they have oils from your face and it smears on the glasses and makes a mess/dust collector. -

South Carrizo Wash Wednesday Jan 31
Van replied to Bagstr's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
Rumors can be verified! I just assumed it part of the "sand Inspection" part of the trip. Report is that its kinda soft, more grainy the Glamis and quite dry. Thanks for the entertainment portion of the trip! Howsabout in the background...
