Coming to Phillip Island next GP: Theo doing the trip on a Z50!

Zebee

 

I did admire the young Japanese lad I met at Nullarbor Roadhouse one
trip. He had a tent and a CT90 and spoke little English.

What speed can you reasonably maintain on a CT90? More or less than a
Z50?

Going to depend on the Z50. Or given it is Bluey we are talking about
the "Z50 wink wink nudge nudge it says 49cc on the barrel officer
see?"

Zebee

 

No, I was leaning more towards a policy which gives me my rego for free,
and anyone whose vehicle I deem to be unnecessarily noisy pays 10x the
"standard" rate and spends a weekend locked in the pillory while I throw
rotten vegetables at them.

All your "bases" are belong to "us".


BTH

 

The obvious downside being that you have to live in WA.


BTH

 

Depends on the load carried, wind conditions and terrain. 65km/h is a
good average though.


BTH

 

Downhill with the wind coming from the west

 

Damn, the whole place must be overridden with postie bikes

 

Yeah right, good on ya.
I can just imagine being chased by a squad of postie bikes

 

Given that 70 is the recommended MAX for riders on the Postie Challenge
(to ensure mechanical longevity & yes I know 110s can do over 90), I think
a 65 average would bloody good going, unless you managed to avoid towns,
hills and unmade roads almost entirely. Cheers

 

That's ok... Z50 with sand tyres!

 

Jog for the hills! It's the Postie Posse!

 

On my last CT90 trip back from Mildura I managed to make it to Temora in a
day[1], which I thought was pretty good for 650km.

I had a tailwind across the Hay plain, which allowed me to maintain
80km/h. Bitumen road the whole way.


BTH
[1] To be fair, I started at 07:30 and arrived at around 20:30.

 

Jogging might be excessive, I think you could probably mosey.


BTH

 

But you'd be a long way from George.

My Postman drives a car. Did you not notice that there is damn-all
difference in cost between an 80cc bike and a 1200cc model. A CT90
costs $17 less to rego than my Guzzi.OTOH Z50's are damn cheap.
Posties are not.

It cost me $205 to register my postie bike... but I think it'll be worth
every cent - the energy it takes for me to kick start the bloody thing will
ensure I lose about 10 kilos over the next 12 months, so it's a LOT cheaper
than a gym membership!

betty

 

cheaper than the physio on the the knee?

mh

 

Touche.
