Hi there , good looking bike, ideal to go up the steep hills, i used t have something similar , a yamaha DT125 2 stroke, once you took off all the rear lights and plates it looked like a proper scrambler bike, it was cool.

Take care on those hills

Beautiful pictures and cool bike oldgringo. I'd love to motorbike South America. Maybe I will one day.

That the little Kinlon type machine oldgringo? I think i have seen it before, looking good.
Where did you get the back rack? Got a link please?

[oldgringo]

Jape, you have seen my Mavila on another forum, I think it is the same as your moto, 193cc Loncin. The bag is a Tourmaster http://tourmaster.com/xcart/catalog/...-p-140_32.html Mavila finally imported some luggage racks, just under $30.

I thought it was you! Good to see you here and that you are enjoying the ride still. Winter here in Australia, cold and wet where I am, plus back injury means little riding for me apart from round the block to keep things circulating, can't wait til spring.

Now then, I really badly want that rack if shipping wouldn't be too expensive, I can pay by Paypal or direct xfer, do Mavila have an online website I can buy it through that you know of please? It is unusual as you know with the oblique frame mount angle and I haven't seen one elsewhere.

jape, I'm in Northern Peru for a few days, I could check on a rack next week. No problem for me to send one but DHL & UPS rates are really expensive here, Serpost would be less expensive but slow. I can check with them if you want.

I couldn't find it on the website under 'productos' and Google translate wasn't very helpful so I couldn't order. Thus if you could contact me when you are back home, I would like to arrange something. An idea of shipping costs using either method would be good as well. I guess we need to know weight for that? Very appreciative for any help.

I use UPS sometimes from USA as it gets me stuff in days, but it is very expensive so depends just how expensive it would be. Serpost, how slow, do you know? A couple of weeks is always OK but if it is surface and takes months, probably not worth the saving.
