Can a Harley make it to Magadan?

Excellent report!

Your dirtster has made me re-think my opinion of my old Sporty. Perhaps I could have turned it into something a bit more practical. Thanks for taking the time to do this report!

Still following along, Doug. Thanks for continuing to backfill the details even after the fun has ended (for now).

Given the overall performance of the Dirtster - very good for a prototype, BTW. I wonder how a production model would have fared on the market vs the Buell Uly? Or how they would have stacked up out on the real rugged terrain?

You had me at "nipple". I'm late to the rr and only on pg.89. Nipple quest.

Doug delivered a very good presentation today at the motorcycle show, although they gave him a whole 30 minutes (?) and a sub-optimal presentation venue. The announcer said he'd be back to continue his talk at later sessions, but I think he deserved more time. Clearly the most interesting speaker there; I asked him for his ADV moniker and just this evening started reading his journal...

Hey Doug
Great to meet you and Polina yesterday.
Look forward to your return to the Bay Area..
I will PM you my details so we can do that airplane tour!

Got my T-shirt!!!

Well done........cool shirt design!

Given the amount of cigarette packets on the bedroom wall,somebody was wanting a goodnights sleep!

Great ride Doug, but you have really painted yourself into a corner to try to top this ride next year. The pressure is on! Don't let us down! We await next year's report.

I can just see it now...

Doug going across the 'Stans on a motorized bicycle!

100+ year old motorized bicycle. More challange, more fun.

We met his guy we met in Talladega the other day... 90cc Chinese motor on modified bicycle. Said it goes over 60 mph, gets 200 mpg. Front disc brake too!

He's put 27K miles on it since building it three years ago, including a trip from Talladega to New Orleans. Said he also has a trailer that will haul up to 150 pounds...



Check out the custom, Havoline 5-quart gas tank behind the windscreen...


One more, from other side...

WOW...he's got a jockey shifter on there!!! ^^^


....but he's missing an ADV decal!!!! :eek1

That bike is just so wrong... and so right... on so many levels.

Coming to the MC Show in Dallas Saturday morning. Looking forward to attending your presentation Doug! I'll bring a crew to show support!

Just read the whole RR while recuperating from a bad cage accident.

Great Stuff as usual.

Ride On Doug

There looks like some clever engineering there, all driving through the original bottom bracket and cycle chain/gears.

Can you spot the 950SE in the background?

your point? :huh
