Re: 1969 R69S Advice to a new comer

Have you seen this one in person? These days the scams are more prevalent than actual offerings. For your sake I hope it’s real but i haven’t seen a complete anything for that cheap in a long while.

If it all adds up go get it.

The thicker the gasket, the lower the compression.

Re: Only modern tires from now on....

The only thing better than modern tires for supreme performance is…. You guessed it, a modern bike.

I’ll stick with heidenau’s or metzelers. I live in the boons where rain grooves aren’t a thing and when I rarely encounter them in my travels, I just sit back and relax.

When I have received inferior parts, they have never stood behind them and mostly don't even respond to emails to the affect. Their shipping rates and speed is pretty good especiall...
