I stalled out on the way home and the battery is dead. I’ll sort out a proper brand new battery today. Of note, I tried jump starting it and even in 3rd gear it simply locked the tires. In my layman’s opinion this means that the engine has very good compression. A very good thing.

Shagati:
You will need to be in 3rd gear and no less than 40km/r to jumpstart a Beemer Boxer
Trust me, I know this.

Congrats on your find x2!
Looking forward to updates.................

Egbon, I am very interested in saving you thee pain of allowing the TVS occupy viable space in the garage, may I come over to purchase [i][/i]the TVS?

EgunMogaji2:
We don’t post much about bikes on here so I’ll entertain some of yah all with my exploits.

I picked up a Suzuki GSXF600 and a BMW R1100R this week. Special thanks to Shagati and Gazzuzz who valiantly tried to assist me. I just have to realize that I might be retired but most people I know are not and are busy people

I rode the Suzuki back from Osogbo but paid someone to ride the BMW down from Ajjah.


Both were sold as “Tokunbo” but they are most definitely not. I’m okay with it because I “stole” them price wise. So one can say that the eyes say what it wanted to see

None of these bikes will be restored. But I will try to unNigerianize what has been Nigerianized. Yah all know what I mean.

The Suzuki:

Makes all the sweet sounds, runs like a raped ape, has decent tires. I performed an oil change using K&N filter and Visco 2000 oil. Cleaned and lined the chain.

I foresee this being replaced by a classic GSXR1000 soon.

The BMW:

Well, it rode down from Lagos under its own power abi

I need to change the oil before I even start riding it but I can’t find a K&N163 locally.

Anyways keep tuned for our exploits.

Still can’t find K&N163 in Ibadan. Found a K&N164 in my stash. It’s shorter.

Pictured is what I removed from the bike and a K&N 164.

Kirkman:
Can't a couple of the oil filters be ordered from the USA just in case of future oil changes sir?

afoife:
called the number already.... no response

EgunMogaji2:
Yes, I’ll be in the USA in a few months and will be loading containers back. I need this now.

Kirkman:
It's been a while we heard from you sir, I miss your road trip threads and also your car buying/upgrade/ restoration threads from way back. Especially the BMW threads. You have been missed.

Shagati:
Tuale sir!!
Life happened and there is now less money time for dem exploits.

Resuming soon though as soon as I am able to juggle things

EgunMogaji2:
Some motivational pictures

If I have to pick one thing I miss the most about USA, it’s the easy access to aftermarket mod parts.

Elxandre:
Won't bumbum pain someone on these small seats like this?

EgunMogaji2:
No pain, no gain
