That looks like a Suomy MX Tourer

 

100%, because I only have 1.5 hours on the bike and like, 20 hours of mods and wrenching on it.

 

Yeah, he's got other vids talking about helmets that rusted and now they won't buy helmets made in china anymore. That was one that rusted and made him check others.

 

I looked at some of his vids he has. I saw one on the Suomy. I believe those are made in Italy if I'm not mistaken.

 

I have no idea on the Suomy. I just kinda skimmed a bit and got that they found the rusting to be more prevalent in helmets made in china, so they quit purchasing those brands. Can't say I blame them. I'm personally hoping to go the Arai route. Just depends on if it'll fit my head.

 

Informative.. I guess it comes down to the user in the end.

That said, I soon as I heard the voice in the above vid. I had to search (spent 2 hrs.) for this one as it’s the same guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubL92ekvbMM

Annnd another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRQyEBY5YjQ

 

Jeebus, you cleaned that up nicely! Foam cannon?

 

Just a pressure washer and some patience.

 

You have more patience than me.

 

It wasn’t too bad, maybe 25 minutes of spraying it off. 10 min on each side on the grass and then 5 on the stand to get the last remaining bits. Definitely different than than dry desert dust that I’m used to on bikes.

 

you need to get some scrap wood and build a cheap little moto boot washing stand
makes power washing boots 10x easier quicker and helps keep the inside dry!

or you can buy one for like 30 bucks from any moto retailer

 

That’s brilliant, did you get into my security footage and watch me try and wash my boots? Because that stand would have helped a ton.


My dumbass would stand them up, spray them, knock them over, and repeat. It was a hassle.

 

@EatSleepTacos just from my personal experience

also learned at a young age that power washing over grass is extremely risky behavior lol

 

How so, because you blast dirt back up at you?

 

oh yea

obviously you're cautious though, but doesn't take much either

 

I think if you're going to make one of these PVC pipe might be a better option and if you do it right you could also make it for use as a boot dryer.

 

I do when I step ankle deep in a mud hole.

 

Did a tear down of my brothers 2010 yz250f and found it to have seized the connecting rod to the crank. Was able to get it free but needs a replacement crank. I think he is just going to part it out. Anyway he wants a dual sport so being an awesome older brother I gave him a screaming deal on my 22 Klx300ds. Just not riding it as much as I thought I would. Then I sold my 79 Suzuki project bike. Just lost interest. So now all I have is the 2020 R3 and the 2023 ZX-10R BEAST!!! The R3 for track day fun and the ZX-10R as a road beast.
