Zorbas Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Uhm yes, in Celcius it does. Not here I guess. Also tells you guys that I'm a hard core rider. :skull: Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 Not here I guess. :skull: Woohoo, is that your work? Quote
Zorbas Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Woohoo, is that your work? No, although I wish I had made that. Judging from the URL, the creator's name is Kaminoan so all credits to him. Google images. The greatest invention after the wheel. Quote
L-space Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Oh yes, I'm a lucky @#$&*%astard! Btw, to speak the truth, I WANT SNOW!!! Looking out the window I see snow! So hop on your bike and drop over, you will have to pass me before you get to CGH Quote
Zorbas Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 So hop on your bike and drop over, you will have to pass me before you get to CGH Sure thing. Just wait for me to digest these lamb chops first! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted January 3, 2010 Author Posted January 3, 2010 Sure thing. Just wait for me to digest these lamb chops first! No no, please save some, I'm hungry. I did start up my bike this afternoon, she still purrs. Quote
Milan Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 You lucky guys, here is snowing at the moment at Zero degree... Oh well, I am going to the hill to skid with sledges with friends, who needs bikes anyway Quote
Big Cam Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Haha, that's nothing, it has been below zero for days now, and I'm in the US so that's fahrebheit not celcius. Last night it was -30F. Now that's cold, and that was not factoring in the wind. Quote
peterab Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 You lucky guys, here is snowing at the moment at Zero degree... Oh well, I am going to the hill to skid with sledges with friends, who needs bikes anyway Come down here and you can ride my bike. Stop by Zorbas on the way and get some lamb chops. Greek lamb chops are about the second best thing in the world. Greek goat on a spit is the first. BTW Melbourne Australia has about the fourth largest population of Greek speakers in the world. Quote

CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) CloneCommanderDelta7 can ride, but I cant, it is too cold, but no one says we must be separated from our bikes... Now that was hilarious! No wonder why they say that bikes are like chicks. The weather here is just perfect for riding. 25 Co, the sun is shining and it's New Year's day! We are the european land down under I guess. Btw, to speak the truth, I WANT SNOW!!! Since its a motocross bike, it cannot be registered, plus I am unable to get a licence anyway. I am this close to riding it and I have found the perfect area to ride so I'm going to gather up my mates and all head out for a day's riding. Yes, bikes are, but for a road bike that's about 200kg (guessing) with petrol all over the bed. 'Rolling over in bed. "Oww! *^&$! What the hell!?...Oh its the.."' Snow would be cool, but the real reason that snow is cool for me is SNOCROSS!!! Extremely Huge Picture About 2000-2500 pixels! Edited January 4, 2010 by CloneCommanderDelta7 Quote
Zorbas Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Greek lamb chops are about the second best thing in the world. Oh, yeah!! Oh, lord, what have I done... I've turned this topic into "Does anybody else like lamb chops around here?" Now I mostly remember the food we ate 2 days ago and not the V-Strom ride. I guess we are all carnivorous mammals in here. BTW Melbourne Australia has about the fourth largest population of Greek speakers in the world. I know! Quote
MetroiD Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I'm with Zorbas on those lucky temperatures, New Year's Day had a record high temperature in store for us. Pity the cold winds have once again started blowing since then, but after all - it's winter, and it's January, so you can't expect anything else, now can you. As to those Serbian and Greek specialties - I can only say Mmmmmmmm!!! Let's hope this year will finally be THE year when I manage to save up for a bike and come over to grab a bite with you guys ;] Quote

Well you could always bring both :-) I don't even need to warm up my bike, in this weather it'll only take a few seconds to warm up anyway. Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Do you have any images of the KTM 990 Adventure Arctic Concept that was shown in the Milan Motorcycle Show? Or any groups of great photos of all the bikes? I'm looking for pictures of the KTM, Suzuki RME125 and the Suzuki RMX450 supermotard? Links appreciated Thanks! Quote

I'm going to the Minneapolis Cycle World International Motorcycle show in Feburary in Minneapolis MN. I'll keep an eye out for it and see if I can get any good pics. Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Sorry to ask you guys again, but after our very short ride (we spent kickstarting more than riding) we took it to my uncle's house, which thankfully is an acreage. Maybe such a big land space is bad because my Dad, who has a bad kickstarting technique (and I'm not much better) couldn't get with many kicks handed it over. Once my uncle sat on it, played with the various controls (choke, hotstart, etc) pulled out the kickstarter and no more than once his foot hit the bottom of the stroke, the bike roared into life. Once he rode over the gravel (no helmet) like a maniac and downwards past his dam and up again, he stopped and said that he wouldn't buy this bike. Our faces lit up at the concept of going back to our riding spot. He had trouble starting it again (choke, hotstart and he played with the idling speed too) so he made it as we thought that it couldn't be done again. So what can we do? I would like to try and mellow the thing a bit and help the kickstarting, but how? Any ideas? I haven't ridden it yet either as once my Dad stopped and pulled over, we couldn't get it to go again. Maybe a choke that doesn't spring back is a bad idea. Quote

Maybe the spray needle is dirty, or too small. Could also be the choke settings, dirty valve etc.. Good thing about carburettor bikes is that they are easily adjustable. I took my bike out this morning, bad mistake, almost went down twice. Quote

Maybe a choke that doesn't spring back is a bad idea. To me it sounds like a comination of maybe the fuel not being switched on and the choke. He may have adjusted the idle as well. I'm kind of confused on the total situation though, is this your bike or a bike you're looking to buy? And what did your Uncle do to it? He had trouble starting it again (choke, hotstart and he played with the idling speed too) so he made it as we thought that it couldn't be done again. Sorry but your writing has gotten me confused.

CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 He had trouble starting it... Yes, it is a carburettored bike and yes I definately had the fuel on. Big Cam, the answer to what he did to it is - he rode hell on it! Pretty damn fast one, he is. My Dad got a little angry with it and traded it for a CRF150F. I am confused. Oh well, at least I will be able to ride it. Quote

L-space Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) So it's been a while since my last visit. Mailnly because the weather is to bad for me to drive in. Yes, i'm a whimp. Yesterday my bike came back from the shop from its winter tune-up. The dealers have a special rate, and I fell for the marketing trick. However I did order myself a new handlebar, all black, and it looks great. Now I really can't wait for spring. Last year I could start at March 2nd so who'll knows about this year. Fingers crossed. EDIT: just made this new icon, hope you like it. Edited January 27, 2010 by L-space Quote
Big Cam Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I think alot of us are in the same boat. My bike is collecting dust in the corner of my cold garage. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Are there any people that are attending the event and would like to ride on their bike? I am going to ride from Amsterdam, perhaps we can meet up somewhere and ride together. Shoot me a PM if you are in. Quote
