So last weekend me and some fellow bikers took a trip south to visit the annual Motorcycle Expo.
Quite a large event:
Got to see the new KTM 1190 Adventure:
Not that impressed will hold on the the old LC8 powered ADV for a while longer.
Was all sorts of bike most manufactures were represented, and there was also plenty of old bikes:
Really like these old military bikes and their ski options:
And here is a way to keep the thieves away, paint rust on the bike:
And here are tires for the ice riders:
Not sure exactly how similar it is to a speed way bike but they race them on ice:
And some really special bikes were around, this one really caught my eye, amazing looking engine:
And the bike:
Not sure if this really was Cyril Despres bike or just a replica? Cool anyhow:
Was some discussion about linkage on the Dakar KTMs and this one had a suspension linkage:
An old classic, older then myself:
The new Super Teneree:
Was a decent size car expo also and since it was joined entrance fee I did a quick loop around it:
Back to the bikes:
Talked some with a racer and something looked odd about the rear tire and he showed me this super clever quick mount for the rear tire, with a spare rim set up a tire could be switch in just seconds, ME WANT, not sure how well it would hold up on an adventure bike that sees some mud tho:
But after this weekend I came home with cough so bad that I have actually puked a little from coughing NOT fun at all.
Hope I can get rid of it soon and start being productive again!
