As of last night I own a 1983 KZ750S Kwakka. You dont get much for $385 but its a start. Been 20 years since I last owned a bike.

I feel a Bobber, or maybe a Cafe racer coming on. Or a Chopper,,, I dunno... Maybe I will just get it running and work from there. Maybe a resto if its still original, shit options !!!!

nice ktm brebel, not many around in that sort of condition, how hard is it to start with the left hand kick lol i used to have a 89 ktm 350 2 stroke, great bike with awesome power but a prick to start on hills. love the service honda cr500 aswell, was pretty keen on getting one a while ago just think itl be abit too poerful for the tight trails i ride

If its in good tune, its actually easy to start, standing beside it using your right foot, but when all the planets arent aligned correctly its a bastard to start, oh how i wish it had electric start! still an awsome bike, the CR is really versatile because of the Recluse clutch.

Mmmmm some wikid bikes in here, I've had a couple over the years, cant wait till my little fella is old enough to ride so I've got an excuse for another dirt bike.

That soft tail looks the goods!

Started with one of those little suzuki 50 quads
1980 xr80 dual shock
97 cr80
93 cr125
01 yz250f

All gone now , I currently ride my old boys 2010 FatBoy which has lived at my place for 18 months. Pretty sure he doesnt want it back so I wont remind him. He has started collecting 1975 GL1000 LeadWings and doesnt have room for it so I have started adding bits and pieces to it here and there... Not complaining though!

Got a question for you trail biking Gurus.

I've just recently taken up dirt bike riding,(KLX140L) I'm having lots of problems riding in ruts, a mate told me to take my feet of the pegs and tap with my toes to keep balanced, this works ok going slow on the flat, but every time i hit a rutted hill where speed/momentum is needed I eat dirt.

What is the best method for a newbie rider?

Cheers in advance.

 

[scottybobcat]

Stay out of the ruts.lol. Its all balance Jason and experience. Keep your revs constant and yes if you have to sit and swing your legs do it.

 

[Biscuits]

One of my favourite parts of riding is hill climbs, the more ruts the better.

My tips.

Pick the right gear. No higher than 3rd. Keep your revs up and speed constant!!
Stand up on your pegs, more on you toes than heels.
Shift your weight fwd so the front wheel doesn't bounce up and buck you off.
Pick your line early. Point the bars and look where you want to go. Have faith, the bike will follow.
Keep yourself upright and let the bike move undrneath you
And most importantly of all..... Choose your battles, don't mix ambition with capability

 

[Biscuits]

It is also important to realise that some ruts are good for riding over and some ruts should only be driven over and ridden around..

Eventually, practice will make almost perfect.
