So I've tried to help Erik out and formulate the perfect dual sport machine. Using the Uly as a starting point I tried to improve some of the complaints that we've all read on these pages. So first off I hugely decreased the turning radius to where you can turn this baby around in a one car garage! Then I worked on a more comfortable saddle, although the Uly's is pretty darn good, I just wanted to make it better. I also incorporated a 6-speed transmission and trust me, this thing is geared low enough!! I did make it much more dirt oriented, in fact this thing will go right up a tree! DAMHIK! I have incorporated chain drive to keep things alive in the outback. The only thing I haven't perfected yet is the size of the gas tank but hey, it's a work in progress!

Well....ya have the dirt part down, but I see LD slab travel as a problem.

Is that a SETI antenna in the middle of the seat for contacting extraterrestrials?

I'm afraid to ask what you did to that poor E36 in the background...

I see you didn't feel the need for a higher RPM motor : )

Close, it's an E-30, the original M3! All new adjustable suspension for starters!

You got that right!!


Well I just got back from exploring two new micro breweries and one semi new brewery then a hole in the wall with Ayinger Oktoberfest on tap. It's been a long afternoon!!

Ever since I traded by sporty in for a klr 650 Ive thought the same. Eric or the dreaded MOCO need to combine some traits of the klr to the ulyssses, faring plus madstad style shield and klr turning radius plus a six speed and nice smooth grunty v twin, the ability to use 17 19 21 inch front wheels and a dirt compatible rear. better lighting/electrics and better fit and finish. I dont mind the chain drive at all. granda strasa na main street dude

Shhhhh! I don't want people to think I'm weird!

Ok, I might be a little late for that...
