SF750 scambler / enduro...

Useless shit at that , Oooooh my god , really , go for a walk and get some exercise , they have been in side too long COSI
 
I had trials universals and bars like that on my SF2, and raised the front guard to the upper bracket holes for the ride through the desert Quentin should have come on. It was fantastic in the dirt, sand and mud. It ended up with just me from the planned four bikes trip, so I just did the north south dirt road to Alice instead of the planned route past Lake Eyre, but there were detours due to floods.  Bike didn't look like a hipster thing but I wish I had a camera back then.

You mean the run to Finke and back? :o :o
 
Oodnadatta track was the plan, but not alone. Corrugations aren't a problem if you just stay over 130kmh or so according to my brother, quoted to me by someone who didn't know we were related. They had met some looney in NW of WA on an SF who let them in on the secret.

That's where and what I was doing on my 80 G/S when the back end 'packed' and dumped me in the dirt 18 months back... Had a look inside one of the RFDS planes and the ICU at Alice (aka the madhouse :o :o )
 
Corrugations on Aussie back roads. I remember taking my Yamaha XS1 east from somewhere near Ivanhoe to ... some place a lot further east. The dirt stock route had had some rain a month or so earlier but hadn't been graded since, so the corrugations were approaching 25 cm high, maybe 3 metres apart. At sane speeds it was like a roller coaster. At 130 kph, I sailed from one crest to the next, landing on the back wheel, trying to land the front wheel in the narrow wheel tracks between the piles of loose clay granules. After a few hundred iterations of the same thing it got pretty monotonous.
Corners? What corners? West central New South Wales, it's ... err ... very flat.
Eventually I blew a fork seal, got fork oil all over me, but it didn't seem to make a difference so I just kept going. Then the back mudguard started to separate into two pieces behind the seat, so I had to stop and ocky strap it back together. Had to slow down a bit at that point though, and the next town wasn't too far off. Bit of judicious welding, full tank of petrol, and I was off! Bitumen the rest of the way, good thing. The bike would have fallen apart if I'd started that again.

The first time I rode The Broke Rd, Broke is a place, not an event, I was on my T140v. So 6hrs on the bike heading home from Wee Waa on The Putty Rd to Sydney I took the Broke Rd from there. It was dark and heading to Wollenbi back then it was dirt for 50ks. It's now a great bike road but then it was corrugated to the max especially into and out of the linked 35kph bends. There called braking bumps, not much fun in the dark and I was pretty tired from the long day. No chance of going fast enough to top the woops, MX term. So what was happening was the bike was chattering and hopping back and forth into these bends. Finally, I got to the blacktop, it was then and still is a fantastic bit of road. I kept braking for the bends in the dark and finding I could go faster. So congregations mixed with bends = not fun. Forgot to mention I had my brother on the back, he didn't enjoy it either
 
Looks great!!!

I was just wondering what to do with my old SF frame and Ceriani 38s I just replaced on the race project,  Now i know!!
Looks a little like my old BSA scrambler.
Love the idea.

Anyone got a spare 750SF engine?
