OSSA Explorer

If in doubt, or it doesn't seem to fit elsewhere - put it here.

My new OSSA Explorer showed up today! First 2014 in the country.

Man, this thing is going to be a blast! Weighs nothing (163lbs)- everywhere you look there are cool features.

That is very nice and unique. Love to take a closer look. I've been wanting to get over to Tasky's to see the Sherco 290 X-Ride.
Not that I'm any kind of a trials rider, but have owned several Bultaco and Yamaha trials machines.

Did a 53 mile ride Friday with it- worked great! (1.5 gallons)

Here is a sample

I checked out his page, one of the vids was from the dealer I bought the Explorer from.
They are the importers now (just starting this year, but since they have only made them again a few years...)

Another great 40 mile ride.
This bike is fantastic on the really nasty trails.
I didn't get any video of the hardest stuff (dang it!) but what fun!


Thanks to PA Power I have a plate!!!!

About 42 miles of single track Saturday .
I was with a good group of riders, no issue keeping up. Of course any difficult parts and I had a lot easier time of it (log hopping, roots etc) whoops took a bit more concentration.
No rain, perfect conditions. What a blast!!
