KaiserRolls Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well. E30 is officially parked now that I have a "daily" Now starts tearing shit apart on the car since I don't have to (can't - clutch is farked) drive it everyday. New daily. Tons of fun. Bought brand new. Currently breaking it in hard. Aka burnouts, wheelies, stoppies. Broke 40 miles on it today. I have a problem with leaving things stock. Put new bars/grips on it, ripped all the ugly stock useless shit off of it and got a full yosh for it. This little thing is insanely fun Dominic540 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 What the hell? Never heard of those. It's like an Ape, except you can buy one in the states... I see myself taking on some debt in the near future.... Dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 So, let me ask the inevitable question... Is there a race series for these things yet? I know the perfect track... (hey, that's me at the beginning!) Well shit, looks like they're already doing supermoto out there.... this could be a thing.... and it could be hilarious and awesome.

KaiserRolls Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Any go kart track would be a blast, or Supermoto track would work too. Small 12" wheels kinda limit any really good tire choices. The brakes are meh and it only has like 10hp haha. Still enough to do 1st&2nd gear clutch ups though! I'll be ordering a new countershaft sprocket tonight (dropping a tooth in the front) They are very cheap too for something brand new.......

HipMF Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Exactly. I like competition and racing, but at best, my skill level on 2 wheels are pretty mediocre. Let's face it: there are very few mortals who can pilot a 600cc street bike (or a 250cc dirtbike) to the limits of it's potential. Unfortunately, there isn't much available in the market between a moped and a 600cc bike. The world needs a cheap racing class that doesn't require getting on a course with a bunch of other novices on bikes that are capable of achieving lethal speeds... The youtube videos that I've seen show some pretty close racing between riders who, honestly, don't appear to be very experienced..... I want this.

KaiserRolls Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Supermotos are an awesome compromise between mopeds and sport bikes. They are pretty much street legal dirtbikes with sport bike wheels and tires (17" hoops) they are insanely fun and super easy to learn on. Insurance is cheap, parts are cheap, fun is cheap, etc. track days are a dime a dozen, they can be beaten on and crashed. If you break something, it's dirt cheap to fix (unlike sport bikes). They are the best of the onroad/off-road world. Are they fast topend? Heck no, but they get there awful quick. They also teach you more about bike control than any cruiser/street bike ever will. TLDR; supermotos > all other 2 wheeled shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipMF Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Haha. It would be nice to have something that could go faster that 60mph.... I might have to shop around some. I had a KLX650 a long time ago, but it was big and heavy, so I was too chicken to toss it around much. Still managed to crash it anyway... My next bike project was going to be more of a flat-tracker style. Something like this: As if I need another project... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Flat trackers are cool. Front end swaps look perfect on those style bikes. It would be nice if you could fit a 16.5" up front and a 5" wide 17" hoop in the rear HipMF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 cant you just use two of the flywheel bolts and wedge a long bar in them to secure the crank? if you've got a good drill you could probably make your own holding tool pretty easily.

KaiserRolls Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Haha. Sure. Had to ride it home in first gear because I bent the shifter under the case. Got home. Bent it back. Proceeded to ride. How's that triumph coming along.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I know the feeling. That happened on the buell when I hit some gravel and slowly laid the bike down. Bent it back with some vice grips and off I went. Triumph is same old same old. Took it out for a nice ride today tho. Just gotta baby it in 1st & 2nd until I get to working on it.

KaiserRolls Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Does it just need a new clutch? Because that's cake bassface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Most likely its internal gearbox issues or the detent arm behind clutch. I just gotta get inside the clutch cover to check the easy stuff first. If its the dogs inside gearbox, that'll require engine removal to split the case.

KaiserRolls Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 ^lol Having ridden a lot of stuff. I can say the grom is almost more fun than my Supermoto was. And sport bikes cannot hold a candle to the amount of fun that you can have on a supermoto. Don't knock it till you try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
