Big Bertha on Tour

It's that time of year and a chance for the Big Bertha (BMW R80G/ST) to try and make a decent showing at the Valley Xtreme Big Bike Race. The bike was a lot better prepared this year, with upgraded suspension front & rear (www.hyperpro.com). The only downside is they made the course a hell of a lot harder! Lots of Adventure Bikes struggled on the hills
I met two Honda Transalp enthusiasts who first told, then showed, how good an off-road bike it can be. Richard (‪@rustynuts82‬ ) hasn't brought the Velocette, but he has brought his excuse book, and is back on the BMW R100RS Scrambler instead.
The race result holds a few surprises, as well as an important lesson in preparing an airhead for racing!

I absolutely loved your video Owen, great work! Hopefully there will be more airheads at the start (and finish!) next year.

Excellent run. Yes, motocross boots & bing carbs aren't a match made in heaven. I knew exactly what had happened once it started to run on one. Been there done that. Zip ties can also work well to hold the bale in place.

I'm going to hold my head in shame and says its happened to my before as well and I never did anything about it. Not only that, the day before when I was preparing the bike I actually started wrapping a zip tie around the float bowl...felt how tight the clip was on and thought "sod it, that's never coming off!". Live and learn, maybe I'll do lock wire & zip ties!

27th January! Me and Rich will be there again along with 5 more airhead entries from Netherlands! I think there’s about 50 big bikes entered so going to be a packed grid!

@@bigberthaontour I did one lap at got the hell Outa there! I was shattered and my arms were useless after a few times picking it up. Roadblock hill was ridiculous turning up something you couldn’t see but hey ho. Annoyed at my fitness level and wish I’d gone back out. Next year I’ll still be there

The airheads are weird motorcycles. They aren’t great bikes by any stretch, but something about them draws you in and at some point you really don’t want to ride much else. Great job, again, in keeping the old beast doing what it does best: plowing through stuff it seemingly shouldn’t be able to do
@bigberthaontour
@bigberthaontour 11 месяцев назад
It is true, no one does a ten minute spin on an airhead and comes back saying it’s the best thing they’ve ever ridden. On the other hand give them 300 miles to cover and they’ll be back with a big smile on their face!

Nice to see Allister Duval, what he knows about Airheads he learnt on my bike during our Motorcycle Course 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very good videos on using the BMW for what many people build them to do but only dream of doing. You should get the footpegs lowering adapters from Bas from Hyperpro, if you are not already in contact with him from the rear shock purchase, I can forward his contacts to you. They will make a bigger difference than you can imagine. Kind regards form Denmark

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. I’ve just done the mod with help of Bas, what a difference it’s made, wish I’d done it sooner!

I love your spirit and your passion for these boxer, I have the ex traffic police R45, planning to covert it to the off-road bike, what do you think?
@bigberthaontour
@bigberthaontour 11 месяцев назад
Good place to start, very light frame! And if you want more power you can get kits up to the cc. Tbh just chuck some offroad tyres, high bars and a bash plate at it and it's surprising what they can do from there!
