Going through the voices, I see I'm stuck with Michelle or Samantha. I was hoping for PeeWee Herman, Sponge Bob, HAL 9000, or Kenneth Branagh.

Peewee would be great, heh heh......ahhhh, ALMOST THERERERE.

Once around the block is all I've got to ride it, crappy weather, and a Family Christmas Get together ate up the weekend.... this is me picking it up at Knox Enduro (yeah, it's not a China Bike, but it does have a Zong Motor! )

2LZ · 12-19-2016, 09:45 AM

Awesome Huck! :-) I've never even heard of an AJP! Looks like a super fun bike....

I also think it's cool that DBM is giving some press to the CB's. There's a huge market for folks like us who want to ride, don't ride like we used to, don't want to spend a fortune and don't need a ladder to mount.

BlackBike · 12-20-2016, 12:11 AM

Just take it easy huck. I know you can handle it. That thing looks like greased lighting. Already flying over the whoops standing still

5k but man, nice

I've slowed down as I've gotten older, and had downsized to a CRF230F...and love the 230 air cooled motor...but missed the suspension of my previous CRF250X....the PR4 has the simple air cooled motor I love, and the great suspension too.....plus a lower seat height than the 250X had........Hope to get it out and really try it out soon! I can hardly wait!!!!

10L jerry can from Sportsmans Guide.

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/produ...llon?a=1584047

"Supposed" to fit the carrier on the Ural. I have one of these cans that I use for diesel. It doesn't fit the carrier but it also has a bulge on the bottom that looks like it may have been dropped. The Ruskie can is aluminum and has sported a couple of cracks of late and should probably be retired.

2LZ · 12-21-2016, 10:44 AM

Bought a pair of these. One for each RX3. The one review looked good and for the price, I'll use them as garage storage if they suck.

Going to strip the bags and rear bars off and wanted a slightly bigger, detachable trunk. We have helmet locks so trunking a helmet isn't an issue. I didn't want to go huge, was my main concern, only "bigger enough".

The stocker is 16 x 12 x 8 and these are approx. 17.75 x 15.5 x 11.
I'll do a review after they show up and are mounted.

I was just looking at that one. Probably should have bought it. My concerns are that it is going to be another brittle plastic special like my first one (different unit, knocked the top latch clean out of the clamshell) . Got to rummaging around and found an old textile tool bag about 17x12x12 with zippered top that ought to work for me (1 gal plastic fuel can and unused bosch i driver zippered bag for tools and tubes) . I'm a little rough so I think the textile bag will last better on the rough roads and banging it encounters, a little more flexibility.

I think yours will be perfect for touring style.

By the way, I smoked that Bosch I driver today. I will have to check it out tomorrow but I smelled that ozone smell so I have my doubts. I may change to one of these I used up in Chicago last week. Have àlso heard good results from this manufacturer.

That's a dang good unit. My young buddy is an appliance repair guy and uses the heck out it. Appliances have a zillion little screws. He swears by it.

I bought this dude. I needed another one with flex shaft for Brozz projects, and my wife burned up my old one. She uses it more than I do.

This thing is cheap but the reviews are great, so I'll give it a whirl. Hey a chinese bike needs to be modified with chinese tools.

Which are you refering to, Bosch or Milwaukie?

Yep, literally dozens of screws in and out all day.

Azhule · 12-22-2016, 08:40 PM

The few times I used my Milwaukie tools I loved them... but I never could keep them away from my brother... and I would never see them again after he got his hands on them...

He never seems to take any of the Craftsman tools

... it's funny, because I'd be happy to see those disappear from my work space
