A 450 and prop if for 125. It would accelerate like a drag boat !!!!! What a blast

Sorry I misspoke. Daimler Benz actually invented it in the late 1800’s , but used it in the race cars in the 50’s. Yea it’s an old system for sure.

Mercedes invented it back in the 50’s. The patent has long expired. It’s not so much about high rpm, but more about not having to run heavy valve springs with their associated parasitic losses. They can also run very aggressive cams ( ramps).

How is it any different than the thousands of pontoons with gas BBQ grills..........

It’s pretty hard to buy a bad bike these days. They have all gotten so good, that reliability is almost never an issue. Biggest question will be, how will he be using the bike. Is it mostly on road with some mild trail riding. If so, the bigger bike rule. If he is going to be doing more 50/50...

Lol.

Every time I’d go to in and out, I’d buy my pups a plain double double. Happy boys !

Caught the update for for yesterday Brabec is still in the lead.... by 7 min. The cars have seen a lot of attrition with Sianz now in the lead. The trucks have been amazing, especially since it’s been so dune intensive. One thing I’ve noticed is the quad class. As of yesterday...

I watched the highlights last night. They did a 900km stage !!!!!!! Over 11 hrs on the bikes, and will go again today. Unbelievably, first and second in the bikes are only separated by 1 second with over 2500km’s raced! THAT’S RACING. !!!!!

I agree. It’s one hell of a test. Doing 600-800 km per day is a serious run. This year is going to be over 5000km.

Anyone else watching the race? I’ve always been a huge fan and try to catch all I can. This year seems to be an even harder race than normal. Lots of breakdowns and crashes. On the bikes, Brabec is really starting to come on strong in the last few stages ! I’m rooting for the home town...

Sure. It’s just cloud seeding. You know, for rain . 🙄.

I wasn’t talking about agent orange. I was talking about the CIA’s weather manipulation program. This was just the beginning of what they would later do. It’s an ongoing operation, and a worldwide one at that.

Don’t worry, there will still be guys here that say it’s not real. Even though it’s been documented since the 50’s. And used extensively during the Vietnam war. But yea...... the naysayers know better. 😏

I’d apply, but not really sure I’d like to be in a club that would accept me. 😂

You mean Opra ?

Does Yamaha make any engine with a high speed lower? Every one I see has a basic fishing boat type of lower unit.

My guess is a 4x4 dually, with all terrains. Maximize the traction ! But as ya know, some of those ramps are slippery as hell! No surprising some trucks slide in down there.

And they usually last a whole lot longer than a Merc.

No. Always a fun time of year for us.
