I think the feature is to facilitate a sharper turn in by reducing the resistance to of primary turn in and it also allow the wheels to conform to deep ruts when negotiating a corner.

The centre pivot between the rear axles moves freely laterally up to a point to facilitate ease of turn in for corners. It comes back into alignment on the strait.

I think that is an excellent idea, to use a strong magnet on the oil filter! You get gold stars for that advice. :lol:

When I took my bike test sometime in the 70's I just just booked an appointment time with the test centre and turned up on my 250. The official looked at my licence and insurance details and then we went out side. He explained to me what he wanted me to do. This was in Birkenhead near to Liverpool G...

My First bike in the 1970's was a 250 Ducati. After my test, which was a joke in GB, the tester only saw you for brief moments because he sent you around the course in live traffic, much of it in streets that he could not have got to, even if he were an Olympic sprinter. Yes in those days motorcycle...

The early Pinzgauer 716/718 were not known for their frugality. Still it would be interesting to run one of the older diesel Pinzgauers alongside of the a similar petrol one on the same trip and see how they come out. My guess is that their would be more of a difference.

I have to say the good thing about Dennis was just how much he would put himself out for others without any possible chance of any reward or payback. He discovered by chance from someone else, that I needed information for my TGB13, he went to a lot of trouble to find out the information for my bene...

I hope that you enjoy your new truck Andy. Perhaps if you do not like the wheels you could sell them in exchange for wheels /tyres that you want. What tyres might you be looking at have you a short list? I bet it can get a bit muddy occasionally on the Ranches up where the feeding stations are. the ...
