maps.

are you interested in what a rally looks like on a map? here is a glimpse. i am always using the trailtech voyager as my dash: it includes an odo, a speedo, allows me to monitor the engine temperature … and above all also includes a gps. i generally use it to keep track of…

out but not down.

the first real day was not too bad. i did get caught by a few guys but i expected that i would see a few come through on the faster sections. my top speed on the previous day had been 130 kmh but generally i found it difficult to get past about 110 kmh. that…

race & reward.

wannaroo was the ceremonial start, a pr exercise really, but the real race began in geraldton. the first part was a prologue, a short competitive stage that determined the start order for the first stage but did not count towards the overall result. after an early morning rise and a quick breakfast we loaded the…

… go!!!

the race is run, and while i am happy with my performance and loved the experience i can’t be happy with the outcome. i made a decision to withdraw after day 3 of 7 and it was not due to any fault of mine. but let’s start from the beginning. i built the bike, then…

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…

transformation 4.

i made a few more smaller changes during the week. and took a few better photos. i finally (after two months or so) got the new carbon kevlar bash guard. the one that came with the bike is not bad but does not protect the sides (clutch cover and stator cover) as well as i…
