    bonanza typhoon...cool little bike. I had a steen minicycle with a hodaka engine. it's hard to believe that at one time a 100cc bike ruled in the desert. hodaka super rat!!!

    Storm Bee riden by David Knight

    on an endless downhill with the motor off you have unlimited range. you all know that range is dependent on weight, speed and conditions, my sm is rated at up to an hour but I nearly empty the battery in 20 minutes, am I crying? no way it's a hell of a 20 minutes!!!!! be happy and know that...

    AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AN SM WITH KNOBBIES

    not really an off road tire, unless you're riding an adventure bike. 600 lb dirt bikes? I think the adventure may be the emergency room(sorry to anyone who rides an adventure bike, I just don't get it)

    got a Sur Ron yesterday

    ordered light speed 72v 30ah battery, light speed asi bac 8000 controller package and a 72 v 2-12 amp adjustable charger. I went with the smaller battery because it drops in without any battery compartment modifications. larger batteries are taller and require battery box lid to be raised or...

    got a Sur Ron yesterday

    yep. it's gonna get expensive but like you said different niches. I don't have great riding areas around me and when I do travel a few hours to ride I wanna ride all day so I go i.c.e. but for where I live I have two 1 1/2 mile loops of very tight trails with only small hills and I'm thinking...

    Chains

    fyi...chains don't actually stretch, sprockets wear and the lubricant between the link pins shift but the metal does not actually stretch. chains do get longer due to the link pins moving rearward in their cavities as the grease displaces and the link pin can also wear and bend slightly.

    2 seemingly stupid questions

    1) are headlight, taillight and turn signals 12 volt? can I use 12 volt replacement items in the event I break something? 2) I lost a drag race to my friend on a crf450 because I can't come out of the hole in map 4 on the street without wheelieing ( no clutch to slip). would it damage anything...

    AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AN SM WITH KNOBBIES

    snow days are for working on your bike!! fresh knobbies, new slide plate and rear brake support bracket in place, the sm is ready to winter as a dirt bike if it would only stop snowing. if these tires don't work I'm gonna have to start looking for an mx front brake caliper to mount a 21 inch...

    AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AN SM WITH KNOBBIES

    thank you silent but dirty for posting alta replacement parts list, thanks to you I now know that the sm runs a 4 piston front brake caliper and the mx doesn't . now if anyone knows if the mx front brake caliper will mount up to the Sm's caliper mount maybe I can get the necessary clearance...
