First steps into Turnip28

First steps into Turnip28

Hey !

I've been eyeing this univers for years and finally started to dive into it.

Starting by making my first two units of Fodders

I am unsure about the basing for now.
Here are my options :

Individual bases and regimental trays (Either 3 trays of 2x2 or 2 trays of 3x2)
Glue directly onto regimental bases ( Either 3 trays of 2x2 or 2 trays of 3x2 again)

I think I am leaning a bit more into the glued directly onto the 3x2 regimental bases option.

What you think ?

Looking for a replacement for the ol' girl.

Ahoy everyone !

After traveling through most of Europe on this Tenere the old girl is getting closer and closer to 120.000kms and starting to cost a lot to stay in good running order. Soooo I THINK I finally made my peace with the idea of letting the dear friend go in order to move on to something newer and keep on and keep traveling trouble-free.

Right now I’m mainly looking at:

  • Himalayan 450
  • CFMOTO 450MT
  • BMW 650 GS Dakar / Sertão
  • Another XT660Z with lower mileage

My budget absolutely needs to stay below €5500, and ideally closer to the €3000–3500 range, which unfortunately rules out the T7.

No need for max power as I am perfectly happy with the 47hp of the XT, that kind of power/weight ratio fits me perfectly it seems. Though it needs to be highway worth ( 120 cruising speed) and off road worthy too as I often ride the TeT.

Being mechanically challenged, I'd like to avoid carburetors, so injection it is.

Would you have any other recommendations I could look into ?

Thank you for your time !
