OK Dave I thought because you have no idea I would let this go but because I am going riding tomorrow and own a Honda I have done my air filter and lubed my chain and have nothing else to do. This gives me time to help you with a few facts :laugh:

Honda has won the Paris Dakar with XR 500’s in the 80’s and then pulled out of the Dakar

The Dakar you called the “hardest race there is?????” :huh:

I would ask you Dave how is it the hardest race? In the Dakar they have a team of mechanics strip the bike every night and replace whatever is broken, I know a couple of years ago every night the gearbox in the wining KTM was replaced 9 out of 11 overnight stays which is in the rules, they had a bearing problem with the countershaft that year that affected lots of the factory bikes

They have ghost riders on the same spec bikes running behind them

They have spares and some of their mechanics following behind them in the race trucks should they breakdown.

The Dakar must be navigated as well as ridden with makes it very hard on the rider but that doesnt affect the bike.

Another race thats really tough is the Baja 1000 in Mexico

This race is a non stop race for 1000 miles, yes miles do the maths. They bikes are raced straight through with rider changes, fuel stops and tyre changes. The riders must get the bike to the pre planned stop.

There are no overnight stops to have the engine rebuilt or major components replaced.

They vehicles are driven / ridden full noise for the whole distance, fresh drivers / riders on or in the vehicles every 250 odd miles.

Honda have won this race the last 12 years in a row.

KTM Dave have never won the race and the last couple of years they have mounted full blown factory efforts and it was in 2007 they got there first 3rd place with Cyril Despres riding for the team on their new 690 Baja bike, no podiums since Dave

Kawasaki and Husky have both been very successful in the Baja before Johnny Campbell and Honda started their winning streak

Check out a movie called Dust to Glory, its awesome :woohoo:

Who’s the say which race is the worlds hardest? :huh:

Steve Hengeveld who is a multiple Baja 500 and 1000 winner raced Finke in 2006 I think it was and in a interview rated it the worlds toughest race on bikes, as it is a 440km motocross style sprint, flat changing and slamming through 30km whoops sections. Has a KTM won Finke outright no , never. Honda the most successful manufacturer every in the history of Finke :laugh:

There you go Dave :laugh:

I think those facts are correct I googled what I didn’t know

TB

Seriously check out Dust to Glory and the extras

[GregMember]

Cheers SJ, shorter one would be so much better thanks mate

TB

[GregMember]

Thanks Scalejockey appreciate the story, couple of things there I don’t have and would like the temperature dipstick, and the oil sight tube. I have been looking at an oil sight tube from BARNUMSPRO.

How did you make yours, do you have any pics or pointers?

TB

I have a set of oxtars boots, both dirt and road. The dirt boots have inner booties and have only ever been pressure washed, never have they bee treated with a single thing, the inners are washed every single ride.

These are the best boots I have ever owned, I used to wear only Apline stars and had one pair for 8 years, I ride a hell of a lot and a lot of big long rides, not always half days every second month.

Oneal are bottom entry gear, or thats how I have heard it called by a couple of people in the trade, ya get what you pay for, Scott at Battye’s put me on the oxtars in 2005 and are the best money spent I think they cost about $450 but that was discounted bu Scott at the time.

The hard thing with new boots on the market now is a lot are motocross boots and have no tread on the bottom, OK on a motocross track, but no good when pushing your KTM up a wet slippery hill going on dark Sunday night.

My 2 cents worth

TB

[GregMember]

Yeah thats why I was happy to give you $150 of real money for it.

TBh

[GregMember]

Thats funny Shane you know who he is.

[GregMember]

Hows about a pic Mick?
