Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
I reckon I may have inadvertently inspired Prezzo to suggest this.
Anyway, if you're thinking about it, why not join me doing this http://www.beastrun.com/ and you can think of it as training/dummy run? |

Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
so that makes the rule of minimum 125cc/ capable of 90KM/h if my memory serves me right.
We setting a age limit on the bikes? Working on 2.5 days on a bike fit enough to do it. I'd say it would be 5 days for wrecks etc...

Re: The SV650.org Top Gear Cross Europe Biking Challenge
no age limit as the price will be such a limiting factor on what you can get for that sort of money anyway
