I have the 750 now but previously had the 900. The 750 is a more refined version but I miss the rorty, clattery nastiness of the 900 sometimes. Hope you have bags of fun with it and please get in touch anytime for advice and assistance - I’ve been right over these bikes. guest on "Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009" http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/topic/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009#post-58 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:44:57 +0000 guest 58@http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/ Looks like jolly good fun - congrats on finishing so well too. Pete - the TDM is finally being retired. 250 000 kms, a ride half way around the world and silly amounts of wheelies have taken their toll. I’ve bought a 900 Elefant as a replacement - what a great toy !!! The ultimate urban holigan weapon. Why slow down to go around round-abouts when you can go straight over the top…<div class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo">User information<ul><li>Author: Richard Parkinson</li></ul></div> Waz on "Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009" http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/topic/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009#post-49 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:33:14 +0000 Waz 49@http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/ Rave, that would be one and the same tyre. The brand is Mitas - made in the Czech Republic. Good set of rubber, I rode all the way back to London on it and it’s still on the bike. guest on "Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009" http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/topic/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009#post-48 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:32:13 +0000 guest 48@http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/ Great video guys, I’m very jealous, would love to have a go at that one. I think i will pencil that one in for next year, just have to organise a bike to get over there. Bar risers are definately the go for extended standing while riding. The fant looked horn with the knobbies on. That wasn’t the rear tyre that myself and Al picked up at the elephant rally in Austria.<div class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo">User information<ul><li>Author: Dave</li></ul></div> Waz on "Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009" http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/topic/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009#post-42 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:44:39 +0000 Waz 42@http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/ Hi John, my arms are not long enough to stand up for very long - got to get some risers on the Elefant. For me the main thing I remembered is to get the weight on the outside peg through the corners - keeping your body upright and weighting that peg as you lean the bike through the turn. guest on "Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009" http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/topic/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009#post-41 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:42:47 +0000 guest 41@http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/ The trick to riding the big bikes like the elefant and the super enduro is to stand up. It is hard at first but once you get used to it you wont sit down in hard conditions.

End of day two I was so knackered I’d have told you ‘never again’, but now I am thinking ‘hey, that looks like a good idea’… That mud hole where you turned around looks very familiar and if it is the same one I think it is then it’s one we decided to follow through on but ultimately came to grief in another hole further up the mountain - possibly a good strategy on your part deciding to give it a miss….<div class="wpbb_anonymous_userinfo">User information<ul><li>Author: Noel</li></ul></div> Waz on "Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009" http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/topic/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009#post-34 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:36:21 +0000 Waz 34@http://www.garagenight.tv/forum/ <embed src="http://blip.tv/play/%2B32BldobAA%2Em4v" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="510" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> We did it! <a href="http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/humm">Mountain Madness 2009</a> is done and dusted, with Garage Night “satellite squad” the Mushman Candidates placing FIRST in the under-650cc class and 2nd outright on points. <div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 110px"><a class="flickr-image" title="Stick with us" href="http://www.garagenight.tv/stick-with-us" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2888965327_eb4077da6a_t.jpg" alt="Stick with us" width="100" height="69" /></a><a href=http://www.garagenight.tv/stick-with-us>Stick with us! Get the official sticker by supporting Garage Night</a></div> Trent and Pete again teamed up with KTM rider and navigator extraordinaire James to produce an outstanding result - though scoring second overall for the <a href="http://www.garagenight.tv/mountain-madness/">second year running</a> left them even more determined for outright victory next year. Our not-so-hotly-competitive “official” entry Team Garage Night - myself (Waz), Richard and Etienne - placed 8th out of 14 in the over-650cc class. Richard and I hadn’t ridden on dirt for years, and for the three of us it was our first outing as a team. Not making excuses - but it took us a while to find our offroad legs. <a href="http://www.garagenight.tv/ep-13-mountain-madness-2009/">Ep 13: Mountain Madness 2009</a>
