lets see them motorcycles

[treemandan]

use yer heels on that ride (JK)

That's why I got a small bike, something that keeps me close to the ground allready, something I wouldn't mind just letting go of.

I am getting the R's up to around 5 grand now, before it was about 3. There is still some crap and moisture in the gas so I will see.

R1 engine in that bad boy?

just like it only different lol . it is a little de-tuned from an r-1 but yes, same motor factory rated at 150 hp . thats about 130hp at the wheel +/-

 

[treevet]

My Triumph s3 has about 135 crank hp but it is a much lighter bike that yours. I have ridden with guys on your bike. It is a very nice machine.

Yes, I like it. Now tell me everything you know.

Everything I know

Err, not much about them to be honest, if that's what it is.
I rode a KE 100 that a mate owned and I owned a KH 100 that had the same engine as the KE 100.

Some KE's had silencers on the left and some had them on the right, disc valve two stroke single with the carb behind a casing on the right side of the crankcase.

One thing though, a few days ago I was searching through all the manuals on Scribd trying to put a database of downloadable manuals together (you can set up what they call a collection, which is a load of books that other people have put online) and I found a manual for one.

You can download the manuals from there and print out the lot, or just the sections you need.

HERE it is anyway, if its any use to you.

THIS is the list of online and downloadable PDF bike manuals that I have either uploaded onto that site myself, or ones that I have found that other people have uploaded.
I'm sure there will be more, but they are all I've found so far.

Regards Scott.

Hey, Thanks Scott. That kind of stuff is going to come in handy. Mine is a 1971 Ke 175.

I'm adding to the collection all the time but its wise to download the ones you want as soon as possible cos I don't (nor does anyone else who puts them up as far as I can work out) really have copyright on them and every once in a while one turns up as a blind link cos its been removed.

If I spot any blind links I'll remove them but there might be the odd one I miss.

Might even do the same with some chainsaw manuals but I get the impression that Stihl gets a bit shirty when people copy the manuals so they can keep their own chainsaws going.
It might just end up being Husky manuals as I don't think they get quite as uptight about the deal, which I suppose will help Husky sales, but there you go.

Oh yeah, and if you manage to get any degree of success out of the Scribd search engine, tell me how you did it cos I think its just about useless.

I finally got my Valkyrie put back together and on the road! It has been nearly 2 years since I got it from insurance salvage.

This is what it looked like when I got it.

So what happened? So far( with just two rides under my belt) I was about pushed off the road by a schoolbus and today( on my 175) I had to outrun a pittbull. Bikes may be dangerous but at least they are not dull huh?

A little off topic did anyone make vintage days at mid Ohio this weekend ? had a good time l

 

[treevet]

I wanted to go but had to work. Today had a birthday party. Did the Superbikes already happen. They switched order last year I think.

 

[adkranger]

For my adventures

Guess I'm late to this party. Here's my Buell Ulysses to take me down the road less traveled.

The Ktoom for where there are no roads.

And the TLR200, well, just because.....

 

[treevet]

Nice bike. I am a Buell fan. Eric Buell has made some of the sharpest most innovative bikes on the market.

Yeah, ain't it a shame what's been done to them? I've got a two year old collectable. Hopefully after the "no compete" ends next February he'll be able to turn some attention back to street bikes.

Personally, I didn't know anything about Buell before I started shopping for this bike purchase. The more I looked at the Uly, the more I liked it.

edit: had to add, just realized that was your sexy, yellow S3 on the last page. That sir, is also a sweet ride. Love the rebirth of Triumph. I seriously shopped the Tiger during my sport/adv bike purchase.
