Jocalopse from Canada

[Jocalopse]

Hello from the East Coast of Canada. Been thinking of building a diesel bike for about ten years now, it may actually finallybe possible no. I've got a couple of good donor bikes, 2 Honda Rebel 250s, both complete but with engine problems. I personally ride a 1982 GS1100E, but I don't want to mess with that. I can readily get my hands on everything needed to bolt together a bike usign a Yanmar clone, but it looks likem they might not be the best choice after all. Anyway, here I am, hello to everyone.

Welcome to the board. Course your extra lucky. You can buy the Diesel Track bike right there in Canada.

Welcome! This is the place to get inspiration

Wow, once again here looking at the possibility of building a diesel bike, looks like it's been a 20 year dream now. Never did build the rebel 250/diesel, life happened and I wound up selling any accumulated parts. Ho Hum

Currently riding a Yamaha V-Star 950, nice cruiser. Still dreaming of a diesel though, once again looking at acquiring parts for a build

I guess you could get inspiration from the latest rally reports, some of which are video based now:

Or the recent German Rally: https://youtu.be/iUIhMya7bzs
