Spin on the HEAD "a la Ricky"

[ricardo kuhn]

First is being a long time since I post in here,I confess I felt a little left out,,oh well I give you another chance,,,

I want to show you a "survival" dirt riding techic...I don't really know how much you ride in the dirt but if you do,I'm sure you will find it usefull some day

and here is a whole description that I post at my home "ADVrider"
I hope you like it,and never need to practice it....

Thanks to Turkish Idea of the ride on Hollister we got to try a few new trails, some of them a little to step, a little to soft and for sure narrow and rutted,,,

well this present the perfect example, for a "Spin on the head"
Ricky Style technique

here is scenario, in this case i did not crash,, I was just trying to bring the bike back in reverse(trail was unpassable on any bike),the trail was just to narrow to turn the bike around Under power,,
so gets better,, the ground was really soft and full of roots, So I end up Digging a hole,,(I know master Jimmy, to much throttle again,, what can i say, i'm a flintstone when comes to throttle control.)

anyway here is the sequence of events,, thanks to Andy turkish

For starters the rear wheel is DIG In, and is no way to get her out, NO the center stand is not on, she is just standing there

first thing you do is you lay her down in a very soft and gentle way.

when she is down you start to turn it around,, those not take much time and for sure effort, I usually have one hand on the bars to make sure the wheel is not stopping the bike from moving and the other(only one needed Usually) Pulling(much better than Pushing)

you see she is half way already not a drop of sweat

when the wheels are Downwards is much easier to lift the bike,, In some cases you need to do a 180 degree turn,, just so your bars are not lower than your wheels,, by then a seal battery is more than pay for,,,
but hey you never know in which way you and your bike are going to end up landing

In this case the lift was more or less effortless,, many times is not that easy

and again Ricky and Golem are ready to rumble

total time:.......... less than a minute
Difficulty: .............at least this time...Effort less
damage:..............Is being already done, many, many times Before

Lets RiDe:jive:jive:jive:ricky

ANd her is the whole tread

Hi Ricardo,
Great tip, im sure I will find a use for it on my travels to South America in Nov. But a bit longer than a minute for my attempt at it.
thanks again

Well if you start to practice right now
you are going to be a master by the time of your trip

with the bike loaded is going to be much more difficult

Greetings Rickardo, where you been all this time I agree with you on that way of righting a bike. I get mine with the wheels facing down hill, start the engine, kick it in gear and turn the front wheel on to full lock, facing the ground, and let the clutch out and just ride the bike back onto it's wheels, always works for me (read most times)
Good to see you back anyway

you Know I try that Techic a few times,,most of them by mistake,and is just to scary,,,to violent,and the bike does have the tendensy to fly from under your hands in a hurry

for sure,I will like to masterd,,actually the same techic, but when you are sitting and then bike is "standing" (side ways)is great to make really sharp turns,"powersliding" the bike,,,like in a Burnout


If you want me around here,,just generate a dialoge,,I get bored really fast,if nobody wants to play

'allow mate...

Hi Ricky ....

...nice pics .... hows all your engineering stuff going? ...

i've seen one set of your bars over here..


What other stuff have you got on the go?

Best not talk to Vern ...'iz off his trolly .... not the full shillin mate...

...take it from me as a pal ....

 

[(RIP) maverick]

Actually is at least 6 sets in the UK

what do you mean,,I'm "Funky " on the head also,but i'm still a nice person.

other stuff,,,I don't know ,actually not much

let see
Mounts for Real Hand guards
Like the "touratech's"AKA Acerbis brush guards

and the Rally II

Oviuslly the come in black,,those were prototype photos

GPS compatible sistem with my mounts

all base on this concept

Handlebars for the R1150R

and the R100G/S

but nothing really radical,,
basically Fame is being proving to be a very difficult job to keep ,to much work and for sure not sufficient time to develope other stuff that I have in my head.

Hi Ricardo,
Im very interested in the alloy bracket for the hand guards, can you give me a price and method of payment. I have found that on the R1100GS the clutch cable under a bit of pressure from acerbis alloy part.
thanks
jose

TEll me about,,I actually see at least two Hydrolic lines(r1150GS) sever like on a "Guillotine", the "TT" design those not take in consideration that the Lines are right next to the bracketand when the hand guard spin(and belive me is gone it,if you crash hard enogh).

the bad news is the design I made is specific for the protaper bar diameter,,the good news is that I'm making some for the stock bars also,at least for the Brush guards(the model that touratech sells) for the rally Guards II,,,,I will never make it,,because they will BEND the stock bars in a second do to the added leverage from the guard...

about the price I send you a PM for that..
