  1. ***WARNING***TC JOKE POLICE**** Un-official administrator review:- That effort was officially rated an 8 out of 10, it was going to be a 7 but the addition of the 'bra' factor enhanced an old joke. Nice clean delivery and execution not a hint of 'cut-n-paste'. Congratulations you're in the final Meanwhile back at the Batcave......A joke for the computer nerds.... Hi, I'm Richter Scale, and Haiti 7 was my idea.
  2. Don't test me...A census taker once tried to test me.........
  3. :rolleyes: Ouch! My step dad just came back from Australia where he was stung by a portugese man-o-war (blue-bottle?) and he's still got the scars after 2 weeks...he left the room when I read out that divers story
  4. They look the part but as you know thats not the crucial aspect...does it grip? It would be great if a new manufacturer could break the monopoly that Mich/Dunlop and IRC seem to have. I see what you're getting at though...we need a pioneer to spend his own dosh ,give them a test and report back to TC. All those willing to volunteer, take one step forward???
  5. 2-4-1 is that the price? Never heard of them myself....I'm trying out a budget tyre ;Vee rubber 308@
  6. ...Anyhow... This farmer has about 500 hens... Why,at a Mackem wedding, do they make the wedding cake out of 5h1te? To keep the flies off the bride! I guarantee you will very nearly pee yersel with this...HERE

  8. ***WARNING*****TC joke police.. ...this is doin me nappa in are you lot just goldfish??...do you lot ever read anyone else's posts to see if you're just regurgitating others jokes??? It's like the old nutter at the bar who keeps on repeating himself It's like the old nutter at the bar who keeps on repeating himself It's like the old nutter at the bar who keeps on repeating himself It's like the old nutter at the bar who keeps on repeating himself It's like the old nutter at the bar who keeps on repeating himself Here's one I prepared earlier:....you'll love it:- This farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks badly. So, he goes down the road to the next farm and asks if they have a rooster that they would sell. The other farmer says, 'Yes, I've got this great rooster, named Kenny. He'll service every chicken you've got, no problem.' Trouble is, Kenny the rooster costs $3,000, a lot of money, but the Farmer decides he'd be worth it. So, he buys Kenny. The farmer takes Kenny home and sets him down in the barnyard, but first he gave the rooster a pep talk. 'I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun,' the farmer said, with a chuckle. Kenny seems to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house and Kenny takes off like a shot. WHAM! Kenny nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked. After that, the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen and, sure enough, Kenny is in there. Later, the farmer sees Kenny after a flock of geese down by the lake. Once again - WHAM! - All the geese get it. By sunset he sees Kenny out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster won't even last the night. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next morning to find Kenny on his back out in the middle of the yard, mouth open, tongue hanging out and both feet sticking straight up in the air with Buzzards circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colourful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, 'Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself.' Kenny slowly opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky above and says, 'Shut it, you're scarin the fanny away
  9. Would of loved it if the cameraman had slapped the roof to wake 'em ...although he would have been nicked for assaulting a police car...probably

    Upside Down 315r

    Confirmed ! I had a 315 and it tumbled off the back of the bike rack (forgot the ratchet strap?? ) when the car was moving..1 grip and 1 mud-guard later it was mighty fine. I went to Warden Law (Go-kart track/trials practice area) and 'exchanged' a shot on my bike for a shot on a lads 2stroke kart. This lad assured me he had ridden supermotos/crossers before but ...he could only manage a few yards at-a-time on my bike He handed it back saying ''...don't know how you ride those effin things..they've got no weight over the front wheel.. '' He was even more miffed when I brought his Kart back with flats on his slicks ...bloody hard to drive a Kart with trials boots on !!
  11. It's on now...took a 'cheetah' though
  12. My missus slipped and fell in the shower ,landing on all fours...She screamed at me to come and help her up 'cos she said she was 'paralysed!' and couldn't move. I told her not to be so stupid, she was just kneeling on her t1t5.
  13. Good find. That slow-mo video is great (answers a lot of my questions about timing), good to see him doing it on real-world slimey rocks instead of the usual minder-prepped scenery!
  14. Cheers, it's the only game I play when I borrow the kids Ipod touch

    Drowned My Beta Rev 3

    ''Drowned my Rev3''...did you have no choice?was it on fire? Seriously though, like the above posts say, you've got to watch for any grit that's been carried into the engine. Water ingress is relatively easy to remedy, i got away with totally drowning my Montesa once.... You know if you leave it alone it's got grit in it... and if you strip it down... it'll be as clean as a whistle...sods law!! Could you remove the mains seals and top-end then flush everything out so you don't have to split the cases? Would you have room to leave the engine in situ?I realise the Rev3 motor is a snug ft in the frame.
  16. ....err?? there mainly..errr.. black. .err..can you be more specific about 'specifications' so we can advise further?
  17. *****WARNING***TC***JOKE POLICE****** More repeat infringements have been perpetrated....you out there? ..you know who you are!!
  18. Broadly speaking..anything between the last of the twin shockers up to circa late 90's seems to have negligible value (except the TY /rtl monos maybe?). Great for exercising your spanner skills though! Hope you get something out of it.

    Diadora Mud

    I see that they're not flat soled, how does the stepped heel feel on the pegs,do your arches ache?
  20. I reckon that a new Honda-Montesa Cota 316(?) 2 st would be the worlds most eagerly anticipated trials bike ?
  21. It was a few years ago when the announcement was made but the deadline was continually moved to ''next season'' ,which brings us, pretty much, up to date.It looks like the 4 stroke rules are un-enforcible so the 2 strokes can still play. Or are you suggesting that these stipulations do not exist and therefore the manufacturers themselves have (re?)-introduced the 4 stroke trials-bike onto the market? Or are you suggesting there was originally a huge consumer demand for 4st trials bikes so the manufacturers 'filled the void' ?
  22. So was this idle problem caused by the extreme running temperature?

    Which 2010 Gasser?

    ''..modern bikes''...Hmmm? I went from a tired (1982?) 242 twin-shock Montesa to a new-ish (1994?)GasGas jtr 250, and after 2 outings on the new steed put it into storage for 3 months....big culture shock... I am currently helping a mate (ex-motocross/enduro/quad background) look for a ''modern'' trials-bike and he is a little rusty to say the least, we've gone from testing mine (290 Sherco) to trying a Beta 250, Gasser 200.....now we think he'd be ok with a modern 125
