Air-Cooled at -11C

Post by berger »

After the weather broke last night, and the sun came out today, I decided to take the Pinz out for a spin. She is starting and running great, but still stumbling in second and third. I filled up the tank and after running at 60MPH for a bit, the stumbling seemed to clear up. Might have been the old gas. Even though I was out for only an hour or so, the salt accumulation was amazing....this is why I don't drive/ride in the winter.

When I got home I figured the Ural needed a turn too. Little colder on the bike!!

I saw a few of those when I was in Croatia a few years back. Two together in one spot and three together in another. Fine looking machines.

Salt.... YIKES :shock:
That will eat your Pinzi!
Check this out : would be cool to spray whole bottom of truck with it and be 'protected'
Wonder if it really works?

60 mph? On ice and snow? In a Pinz?
