General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Tires-What Sneakers Do You Run On Your Bike?

« on: July 14, 2010, 11:28:47 AM »

I've heard lots of things about tires called MOTOZ. Apparently they are quite good, but would be hard to get for me because they're made in Australia I think, so that's half way round the world for me. Just take a look at one of their tires:

I think this company does think out of the box a little and their product might be worth a try.

That's why I won't wear any Fox or Alpinestar clothing or put any of their stickers on my vehicles, most of the people wearing the stuff look like posers

We think alike . Come to think of it, people are ready to pay for the company so that they could advertise it with stickers, t-shirts and what not... My bike and car will stay nice and clean until someone pays ME to put a sticker up there . Otherwise, I'm a privateer and proud of it!

For eastern European and Russian standards the girl from the video is just a normal girl. Nothing special.

You can say that again .

But what is the advantage of such a parking system compared to a regular underground parking lot? No doubt it is much MUCH more expensive to make, and you have to wait for your car for up to 4 minutes to arrive. Does it save really space? Maybe the cars are packed together a bit tighter but I don't believe it could make a big difference, and the space required for all the machinery and computers probably occupies quite a bit as well. What do you guys think ?

They should, but that doesn't mean they would . I sure hope HONDA wakes up soon. I really wouldn't hate the new Honda two strokes as it's not the people who make them that decided to stop making them, but some businessmen who probably can't even ride a motorcycle. I bet that Honda engineers were shocked even more then most of us when they heard "no more two strokes" . And having in mind all the rumors about the research they did in the two stroke field I sure hope that people in charge change their minds and restart the Honda two stroke line, I bet we would see some crazy stuff from them (in a very good way).

Wow. Not only does the bike and the rider *look* fast, but they actually *are*, and that's what matters most, the way I see it. Good luck, your project is amazing

Nice race. The winners have some crazy skills. Everyone who finished did a great job, and those who didn't, well there's always the next year .

Outstanding. To me this is beauty, like art or poetry . When I purchase my next bike i have got to get me this MicroBlue stuff. I wouldn't even dare to run it at 200:1, 100:1 would suffice .

Wow this is truly amazing! No smoke or anything. And here I was thinking 100:1 was outrageous  . In this state i bet it would run just fine even with no oil for some time  . What if you gave the cylinder the same treatment as you did with the bearings ??

Yeah I am definitely going there as as visitor. In fact, I hear the organizations cleverly arranged motorcycle routes for spectators. You can ride practically alongside the competitors for the entire day. You just follow local roads and sometimes take shortcuts (that are quite tough, but not as hard as the real deal) and you visit all the checkpoints where the riders pass along the way, or so I understand. Pretty nice. I will definitely go and have a look one day . It would be cool to try and race but you have to be able to afford to build a nice bike and then completely destroy it .

Some of the guys from Nitro Circus once tried this race . Here's what they thought:

I don't know how many of you have heard of this race, but it's pretty big here in
Europe and many say it's the toughest Hard enduro race there is. The sixth edition of this competition is now under way. I always liked Romaniacs because of two reasons:

Firstly, there are soooo many two strokes there . Safe to say they outnumber thumpers by far. I have a hard time imagining a four stroke doing some of those things that the two strokes do out there, and I feel sorry for those who try and race on a four stroke .

Secondly of course because this race is awesome .This year, on the first day, only 30 percent of all PRO class racers finished. ONLY 1 out of 60 or so EXPERT class racers finished, and none of the HOBBY class made it (about 80 participants). And this is just the first day .

Some of my countrymen tried to tackle this challenge last year. They practically destroyed the bike (it was a nice 250 cr) and made it to maybe day three if I remember right.

To give you the idea here's the video of this year's first day:

Red Bull Romaniacs 2010, Day 1

And some interresting stuff from years before:

Red Bull Romaniacs 2008 Prologue

Red Bull Romaniacs 2008 Compilation


I dream to try and do this myself some day, maybe even finish .
