Dang! I simply must get me some of those bling rims and you know me ,when it comes to BR's I love'em all day long.
The wording on mine need refreshing. Question, the BR on the front, you have it on a standard barrow rim size ?
Did this make the BR narrower in profile ?

Oh..and great bug btw. I do like the look of the Sysmic, I quite fancied one myself. Have you been out in it yet ? I'm stealing all the questions aren't I.

It never looks so good.:thumbup::thumbup:

BeamerBob - 25-4-2013 at 06:39 AM

Very sharp buggy! That would dress up any living room.

BeamerBob - 25-4-2013 at 06:39 AM

I'm quite sure I didn't click twice but here is a second post.

dirtslide - 25-4-2013 at 07:45 AM

RedSky the front rim is the sysmic 4x8 the backs are 8x8. Yes it does change the profile of the tire as it rounds it out a bit more and I have been advised that this helps with steering but have not tried it yet so I will let you know how this set up feels after I get it on the beach.

HOLY CR^p!!!!

i think that things gonna scare the s#!t out of some unsuspecting folks at GP
Take care!!

It will only see GP for setup and maybe a bit of tuning ,I still have my flexifoil Scout for the local park but picked this one up for the beach and will be getting the 17 inch wheels for the playa.

I tried both the sysmic 8x8 and 4x8 with BR on the front, the 4x8 is the way to go, more bite.

Really dig that ride!
The yellow lettered tires are just perfect!

Thanks Mike! I imagined it would have a more rounded profile being pinched onto a smaller rim. I'm a fan of that pinched look, don't ask me why, I just do and if it bites into the sand then all the better.

A friend had a Euro BF on a 4x4 !! They say it's possible to fit a BR onto a 4x4 too. Imagine that!

Great looking bug there Dirtslide. Is it on popeyes buggy in da house yet?

Thanks! Interested to know. Displaying the bug on those stands is a great idea. What would you call those stands ?


ChrisH - 25-4-2013 at 07:22 PM

Duuuuude!!! Congrats!! We'll have to do a buggy swap at SOBB, hopefully my new toe straps make it doable for you. See you on the sand bro :)

dirtslide - 25-4-2013 at 07:54 PM

@ RedSky the stands are simple roller stands that I picked up at Home Depot for 15 bucks each.I removed the rollers then inserted some doweling, drilled a hole in that and used a y shaped hammer rack were the rear axle and swan neck sit into. I use them to get the buggy up off the ground so that I can work on it from my wheelchair. C2 I will take you up on that swap offer even if we have to ducktape me to the pegs,you know I love that Croozer:cool:

ChrisH - 25-4-2013 at 08:41 PM

Lol, hell yeah....sounds good!

tdmc96 - 25-4-2013 at 09:00 PM

Nice ride bro!
I would love to take her out too but I think I would need to gain some weight and grow about a foot...:smilegrin:
One month till SOBB!!

Cheers
Ken(K3)

Good to see you made the purchase, slick looking unit.

Bladerunner - 26-4-2013 at 06:34 AM

So ... This explains why I am not seeing it here at WBB. I was SO wanting to ride your buggy before you got it !

You know I think that's the nicest looking buggy around !

Congrat's buddy !

Be careful Ken, Chris is known as a buggy stealer, how do you think he got the MG CrooZer?
And I am pretty sure he can out run you even with your new bug in his arms.:lol:

mougl - 26-4-2013 at 12:57 PM

That thing is beautiful!!!!!!

ChrisH - 26-4-2013 at 03:13 PM

Lol, yep! Although, after getting the CrooZer I have cut down quite a bit lol.

xxxBUGGYPILOTXXX - 2-5-2013 at 06:14 PM

Wow! :o makes my S2 look tiny :lol:

Yay! I'm not the only USA SYSMIC owner posting on this forum. OK so I didn't get the top of the line with all the bells & whistles but I'm positive I'll like it all the same. Just waiting on getting $ together for a kite buggy rack order so I can transport buggy easy :thumbup:





dirtslide - 3-5-2013 at 06:59 AM

Looks like we are the very proud and select few that have these awesome buggies over here,one in Canada and on in the USA. I like the size of my XXL but the S2 would be more practical for every day use,I do have a Flexifoil Scout for when Im not on the beach and it is much friendlier to load and unload.As I was pulling the rack and the XXL off of my SUV the other day I snapped a bicep tendon :o in my right arm ,so now Im waiting for so surgery to fix that. Will not unload it like that again.;)

That thing (your sysmic) and the hitch must weigh close to 200 pounds. You need a spotter when manhandling it.

Bladerunner - 3-5-2013 at 01:20 PM

YIKES !
Bad news buddy ! I hope this doesn't put you out long ?

dirtslide - 3-5-2013 at 03:16 PM

nothing puts me out for long ,you know that .Im thinking that by Spring SOBB should be ok with the harness and if Dixie is not watching ;) if not we will be doing the tandem thing ,dont be worried the XXL will be there and Im sure someone will use it:P

ChrisH - 3-5-2013 at 03:26 PM

Ouch, that sucks! Well I'll be glad to give it a proper ride at SOBB :D. Take care bro

PS, I love that little S2....that thing is sweet! I would be glad to have that for sure.

bigkid - 3-5-2013 at 03:35 PM

Sorry to hear about your boo boo, you should know better than doing things like that.
If you are not able to ride your buggy I think I'm qualified to ride it.:evil:
Heal quick my friend.
