Zundapp everyone knows that freddie😂🙄

Hi Freddie,

Thanks for posting our Isle of Man road trip on your channel.

Best regards from Germany,
Jörg

Hi Freddie,
The Zundus story is very impressive because of the chosen bikes and destination.
Being Im from Australia, I do have a chuckle when 2000kms is considered a long trip. Every year we do a trip from Adelaide to Phillip Island to watch the motogp. That is a 2000km plus round trip and cross only 1 state. Around the country people travel more than twice the amount to visit the island.
What I am envious of though is the fact that you can travel through countries with different scenery, cultyres, languages etc etc  must be a strange yet wonderful expereience.
We of course have a diverse landscape as well but, everyone is Australian. I personally would love to do a european motorcycle tour and i am always inspired by channels like yours that show me the world on two wheels.
Thankyou and keep it ip.
Adelino

What nice to see my old moped in the thumbnail. Zundapp, Kreidler and puch where very popular in the 60's and 70's in europe's moped scene. When i was 15 around 2003 i bought a zundapp KS50 517l35 from 1977 in bits, the small stuff was packed in butter cups and it needed a full rebuild. So i had a good learning course from my dad how to restore bikes. When i saw the 2004 Thruxton i was totally in love. But i was to young for my motorcycle license. So i made a small caferacer from the zundapp with clipons and a small solo seat. I sold it when i needed the money for my motorcycle license and saved the rest of the money for a Thruxton that i still own nowadays.

I always learn something new, that I never thought I needed, from the channel. Such a treat. 👊😎 Cheers from 🇺🇸

Thanks dobbo. Love Tuesdays. ✌️👍

Zundapp sold thousands of bikes in Portugal in the 80's, a lot of people still keep and restore them nowadays as they still hold very well their value. Being 2 strokes is a big plus! Also, Zundapp used to supply engines to a portuguese brand Famel and these bikes are cherished by everyone who love bikes, it was the first bike I rode 😅 they are great fun!!

With the price of fuel today ... and the way it's forecast ... looks like we'll all be looking for a Zundapp.

Hi Freddie. I worked with a guy many years ago, probably the '60s, Dave Simmons, who used to race Zundapps.

My first real motorcycle was a 1972 Zundapp GS 125 ISDT, what we would call an enduro back then (somewhat different from the definition today in that it simply meant a dirt bike with lights, usually street legal).  One of the big M/C magazines had just reviewed the '73 model and  I was shopping for my first real bike.  I was 14 and got the go-ahead from my parents to spend the $600 or so I'd saved up for a dirt bike (had only had lawnmower engine powered minibike before that).  

I happened to find a used '72 Zundapp in the local paper's classified ads that fit my budget.  Not exactly well-known or in high demand here in the USA, so I got a great deal on it.  My friends were mostly riding Yamahas, Suzukis, and the occasional 4-stroke Honda dirt bike.  I sort of liked standing out from the crowd, and everyone was in awe of the radial finned head on the Zundapp -- LOL --- first anyone had seen at the time.

It was a great bike!  I wish I'd kept it all these years.

Freddie take time to watch Bea & Helmut, TimetoRide on YouTube, and their ride around Australia, up to Cape York on their 50cc Zundapp mopeds, Its brilliant. People may comment on your lack of motorcycle knowledge put its excellent you are learning something nearly every week. Your enthusiasm is really enjoyable.

Tuesday at Dobbs' at bit like Jackanory for grown-ups who like motorbikes.

Kudos to Jorge and his family! What a trip. And that CBR1000F. I remember them at the time and I wouldn't blame you going for it for 1200. The T100 I've had my eye on just dropped 600 Euros to 3,990. 2005 model with a highish mileage but so tempting.

I listened to this while walking my dog in the country instead of watching it as i normally do. It was actually really good and made me think that a motorcycle radio show would be really interesting. I've just come here for the pics of the bikes/travels

Just out of interest would anybody be interested in 1000's of motorcycle/motorsport magazines from the early 60's onwards. My mum has asked if I can get rid of my dad's collection (dad is considering it) 😂😂😂. They are in many different locations and would need to brought together. There will be some special ones.

Horex was a big and famous German brand which produced motorcycles till 1960. Their engines were so good that Yamaha used the design of their twins as basis for the engine of the XS 650. The brand is reborn in 2010 and they produce a naked bike with a VR6 engine. I think the only manufacturer using this type of engine ever in a motorcycle.

My husband had a zundapp 175 best bike he ever had in 1974 when he was living in Germany

A single car vertical check costs £39.99 - pretty ridiculous. Too expensive to do the casual checks you're recommending. Car Check premium is £9.99

22:13 BMW R1100GS. I had one that colour for over 14 years and 91,000 miles. Great bike.

@BikerofAtlantis just did an insight and ride of the TT Course.
Worth the watch.

We had small capacity Zundapps in South Africa back in the day!.
