This weekend (on Easter Sunday), I jumped off a plane at an altitude of 13,000 feet! My heart was beating and my body was shaking as I stepped into the plane. In those ten minutes, I could feel nothing but the chills of fear of jumping, despite my amazing instructor Benji trying his best to […]

When the world last century was ravaged by war and everywhere seemingly doomed to collapse into the abyss of collectivism, as Kerry McDonald outlines in this guest post for Women’s History Month, three articulate women fired a generation to reimbibe the universal human values of individual liberty, limited government, free-market capitalism, and entrepreneurship, and reignite…
How Three Inspiring Women Moved the Needle Away From Socialism
This bike was a replacement for a Yamaha SR400, as we needed a bike that could go off road. It is a 1998 model as the Yamaha was, but it gets ridden, rather than cherished.
It was a bit of a mission finding an off-road bike that was also registered for the road, and had pillion pegs and a large enough fuel tank so I can ride all day.
This bike met all those requirements, but it was in a bit of a state when when I got it, and needed wheel bearings, brake disc’s / pads and lots of TLC in general.
A perceived lack of compression was a concern until I discovered it has an automatic decompressor as well as a lever on the handlebars for a manual one as well.
We use the bike to ferry a passenger to an off-road park, then we hire just one bike bike for the day (instead of two), remove the mirrors, and away we go. it works surprisingly well off-road, because it’s still quite light at @ 130kg.
It has a wide range 6 speed gearbox, which means it’s possible to run gearing which works both on and off road. The bike does 50/50 road/off-road use, and I’m using a 14/44 tooth arrangement, which gives it a cruising speed of @ 80-90kmhr on the road.
The back tyre is a Dunlop D606 which works very well.
The front tyre is a Mitas E07 which is Ok until you find some mud. It just slides everywhere as if I’m riding on glass. I’ll be using a matched set of tyres next season.
