I went for a ride today on .........
« on: May 24, 2020, 06:15:35 AM »
...... my Yamaha TW125 (AKA "The POS")   :grin:

It can't pull the skin off a rice pudding (I suspect that some of the original 12 horses have escaped)  but I did manage the dizzy height of 52 mph down on the tank :cool:

It makes me laugh

Who else likes small capacity "chuckable" bikes?  :thumb: :thumb:

Beta 250 trials bike today.

Surprising amount of pulling power.

But not as fast or agile as the two chocolate Labs that accompanied us.

Ignition system on the Labs seemed unaffected by deep water.  In fact, they actually seemed to gain more horsepower the wetter they got .....

If I could post a video on this site, I'd share some serious splashing videos.
