Beaver Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I have an rv50 in parts that I was planning on building up. But I also have my v50 that's a proven ADV bike. So I'll continue telling myself that I'll build the rv50 but then just turn up on the v50. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Head Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I’ve almost got everything here finally. Then wiring and stuff. Then paint. Then skids. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the frame, swingers/wheels etc. Most excited about my CT125 switch blocks at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That scoot you got doesn’t really have knobbly tyres around in its size. You’ll have to stick with the road ones probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 10" wheels? I spent hours and hours looking for knobbly tyres for 10" rims ended up getting some golden boys off amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I had standard road tires on the RGV150 the first year I went, and it was absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Push started the GN after a year of it sitting on the battery tender. Took it on a trail ride then decided I really cant be fucked riding it to Gisborne again - Its just too reliable and drama free. So this year I'll drive my 300,000km piece of shit outback in support for you fine chaps. Will drag along some crates of piss, a tool-box, a few go-pros to bolt to various peoples bikes and maybe a bbq for some sausage-in-a-bread on the move. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mop Head Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Epic. I think @Thphantum is also doing his usual tricks. Will be good to have a couple of rolling chefs/repair vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchybear Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 So my brother built this trailer which I am volunteering for the trip. It’s good for five bikes and I think four 20litre jerrycans. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
