ready, steady, …

how many pictures of one particular bike does one need? in this case – a few more. the bike is ready to ship and as i type this is actually already in the crate and on a truck to perth. it will get there on friday and ready to be picked up. next thursday we…

crate.

in three weeks i’ll be somewhere in western australia trying not to damage myself or the bike. perth is 4000 km away so driving (or riding as some people suggested) is not really an option. so while i will relax in the cabin of an airplane the bike will make the trip in the belly…

transformation 5.

now it’s all coming together. the nav tower is back on the bike, so is the f2r switch block on the left side that controls the imo and the roadbook. the switches for the lights, index and horn have been relocated to the crossbrace. i have already installed the led dust light but need to…

nav.

the nav tower is almost ready. i bent a new carrier plate out of 3mm alu sheet. and while it is better than the one i used at the condo i will make another one: there is a bit too much room between the imo and the roadbook. by modifying the carrier i will be…

be prepared.

the safari is a pretty serious affair – at least for amateurs like me. it’s also going through some really remote areas where finding spare parts may be a bit difficult. and because i really really want to get to the finishing line i’m using some of my hard won project planning and management skills…

sandbox.

some of the safari stages will be run along beaches and through sand. no surprise therefore that four of us went to ride on a beach in an undisclosed location not far from sydney. all legal access of course. deep sand riding is a bit peculiar; it takes speed to get some stability into the…
