Funny how the guys on bigger bikes were all saying they wanted a smaller bike for next year.

Fuck that, anything bigger than 12” wheels for me next time. Or better suspension.

I vote a step thru scooter from the 70’s next time 

[Whoopeecock]

Shit, that’s a good buy if you wanted a flash new postie bike next year. Would be perfect. 500km on the clock, and selling for $1600 +ORC less than new price. 

[RUNAMUCK]

^that is the ultimate small adventure bike imho. (Based on my very limited experience)  theyre a lot of money though.

[Chris.QCR]

Yeah that would be my dream little moped rig. Still step thru. Still in keeping with small bike styles..injected and 17" wheels so can chuck some goldenboys on and a good rack to carry ya gear. And wont need a auxilliary fuel tank because so economical

[Mop Head]

I can confirm they go hard for what they are and someone we know needs to buy that.

Each night I go to bed I dream of riding 150 klicks of gravel chasing Chris uphill and tailing Callum downhill. My wife has asked me to stop engine breaking  cause it wakes her up.

I don’t actually think it’s me, I think it’s Markku’s two stroke as it passes me.

May do a private tour. Helicopter drop off at the start line with the bikes ready to go and a ute to throw everything on when the cameras aren't rolling.

looking at an aprilla etx150.

any good? 

Dont care, will probably get one anyway.

can’t be any worse than a gn250..

[governorsam]

Although it went better than I expected.

still fizzing about that weekend. Best thing I have done on a bike in the last 10 years.

epic. Gc’s everywhere. Bacon. Snags. Ice cold dobros.

Ok, Chinese made. Maintain well, keep them clean to avoid rust. Tyre size is weird for a dirt/road combo but they do what they need too. 
 

Send it basically.

18 liter tank sounds good. The rest I can cope with.
