New Tire Dimension2

The new tire dimension that I mentioned in a post before is working very well. In this perspective you can see the higher shoulder (160/70/17), which results in a higher rolling circumference (10cm) and gives a higher rake(+1,5cm). Besides from the look, that sets a better proportion in terms of dynamics, you have a comfortable and agile ride! Very recommendable conversion!      ,

New Front Tire

Pics from the workshop: Zephyr is getting a new front tire today! In the back you can see the next project. It also has a green based livery as the one that was for sale before. We need a new stator for it and a new wishbone, so it still takes some time until we have it ready for sale.

New Tire Dimension #bridgestone

Right now I'm testing a new tire dimension for the #zephyr750 and I'm using a 160/70/17 instead of a 160/60/17. Of course this is not the original #zephyr rim but one from the #ZX6R. You can see the conversion in my former posts. 

The new tire has a diameter that is 3cm wider than the one before, so that my rolling circumference is also 10cm longer. But not only the gear-ratio changed by this, but also the character of driving the bike , because it has a rake of 1,5cm in the back now, which gives it a more direct steering!

Testing in the #eifel around #nürburgring follows!

Start the season in style....

...with the right shirt!

After more than a half year of break I'm back on the bike again! In the meantime I struggled with my shoulder-injurie and to be honest I'm not completely recovererd again, but for the next season it'll work out! Skiing was allright and I bought a shoulder protector from #Dainese that is made for downhill biking - that will do on the Zephyr as well!

 On the photo you see last years project bike that I completed with a new set of bodywork. Still have to paint the rims and then it's ready for selling - any offers?? :-)

The ugliness of peacefulness!

Back home!

Fractions of sliding!

After approximetly 40m of sliding on good old german Tar my bike has this martial look. Astonishingly the techinical damage is small, even the broken gauges are still working and none of the handles are broken. Engine is running perfectly and lights are lightening! 

My accident in the local newspaper!

Unfortunately!

...unfortunately I had a rendezvous on my way back home with 2 hind of which I hit one with my bike! I'm in hospital now and looking' forward to get well soon!

....photoshooting for #snowpunk @ the old T-Bar in Udenbreth #eifel. Due to the fact that we have no money for expensive models - we use the nice senery of the skistaion in summer! join us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/snowpunk.de

...a day @ the ACE Café!

  

...working for the Olympics in London left us there for almost 2 weeks. Although we didin't have our bikes we started a trip to the legendary Ace Cafe - unfortunately by 'tube'! -  but that gave us the opportunity to test the different brands of beer while sitting in the warm british summer sun which had some of its pretty rare appearances!

....@ the end of testing eachone tried one of the recommendable ACE-Burgers. Short after that the guys with the huge music bassdrum "escortsopelsfordsnissans" entered the place and this was the sign for us to enter the tube again to drive back to the hotel!

..as a former Trucker Station the ACE has a reasonable parkinglot directly in front of the building! Place and time to watch and to be seen!

...more Finishing !

....5x17 Finishing !!

...Belstaff weather ahead!

 

..on one of my first tests with the new 5x17 rim I was very careful because the tyre was quiet(too) old. I didn't want to risk anything and felt the temperature by hand from time to time, because I had no confidence although the feeling on the backhand was very stable. Driving through the sunny countryside I had a big raincloud in front of me short before I reached home. At least I stayed dry because the thunderstorm started shortly after I was in the house! :o)
