Dave, I am writing this off the Vinduro group so not to throw anymore fuel on the fire. I intend on riding next years reunion, Good Lord willing.I will need to...
I too always yearned for a Rokon back in my high school days when they first came out and for the first four years of my navy career I wanted one, well now I...
Dave & John, Hang in there guys, I emailed AHRMA for clarification on how the new Rider Grading rule will be applied toward the Reunion Ride. They are looking...
You guys know each rider can appeal the new rider grading system! If you don't want to be put in automatically as an Intermediate rider you can appeal it ...

Ron, I'm hangin', brother!! And now I want to do some livin'!!!! After all the crud i've been through this summer, I want to do some riding in the worst way....
Can you get a Rokon to wheelie........Easily!!!!! Team Jerseys? Which colors Yellow/Brown or Red White and Blue? There are times I wish I was in the midwest....
Dave, ... Much much further than that, it was gruelling 7.5 hour grind from here to Tulsa. :-) Next year, AR is about 5-6 hours from here. :-) Ron ===== ...
still beats a 1500mi plus trek! Ron Sutton <ron_sutton@...> wrote: Dave, ... Much much further than that, it was gruelling 7.5 hour grind from here to...
Yes, my flattracker will wheelie at will just roll on the throttle. I have never been able to get any or the other Rokons to wheelie. Thanks,Spencer...
What have I missed? Who's Rokon will not wheelie? It should wheelie very easy and stay there until you let off the throttle! The Rokon is one of the best bikes...
Hi Spencer, Why will the tracker come up and the others won't? Is it set up to be real "Pipey". I raced a Cheney framed flat tracker with a Super Combat Hodaka...
Brian, Of the few Rokons I took a ride on, the power just came on smooth, like a Mazda. But the wheel never came up. Revs came up and the speed picked up in a ...
My guess is that the reason the flat tracker does wheelies better is because of the way the clutch is tuned. Cobra's and flat tracker's clutches engage at a...
I agree with Ron. That's what I meant by Clutch!!!!! If you all want to improve your Rokon you need to buy Olav AAen"s Clutch tuning Handbook. Call ...
I agree that RTII's don't wheelie all that well. Seems like the front end is glued to the ground. Even though it has been nearly 30 years since I rode an RT, I...
I remember you having a nice wheelie on the starting line at the Rattlesnake two day qualifier. The only problem was, you weren't on the bike. If I remember...
Sorry guys my 1976 RTII wheelies just fine! It will beat many modern bikes in a drag race. one of my friends has a full built big bore XR400 and in a drag race...
I think the key here is the clutch. Everybody with Comets should have no problem raising the front end. The Salsbury on the other hand wheelies fine fresh...
Both of mine have the Salsbury. Should I invest in a Comet? I know you need to make a hole in the side cover to accomodate the extra protrusion of the comet ...
In " the day " we had no problem raising the front ends on our RT,S..... one had a Cobra clutch which engaged at a higher rpm and the other a std Salsbury...
If ain't broke, don't fix it! that's what my gramps used to say... The Comets aren't cheap, but if your salsbury is showing signs of wear, like a grooved...
