  1. So how do they price the 09s now? I recall a similar price 'folly' not long after the 4rt was launched in this country, a dealer called (not sure if I can mention him here?)a fruit you make cider from? added to the name for 3 feet??? Anyhow , he was selling off brand new 05s much cheaper than anyone else..somehow.. TheSolidMan1,welcome to Trials Central where you may be questioned------- FURTHER ***IF::: YOU~~~~ POST UP>> A BOLD}}} STATEMENT, it's just how it goes. Sorry about the weird typing there, I got some bits of carrot stuck in the keyboard.
  2. Good 'cos there's a six foot rabbit in it and he's pretty p***ed at the moment Hey B40RT, if you can see him too you neeeed some of my medication... Hey Solidman, my source is called Frank, what's yours called?

    Slapshot

    Slapshot3 , Do you believe in some of these HAARP features,with regards to it being used as a weapon? I don't normally go for the conspiracy stories but I am a huge Nikola Tesla fan and I have been reading quite a bit about this ionosphere heater and it's capabilities.

  7. Bought one for the eldest daughter and had nowt but bother with it until I sent it back for an exchange.......The Synchronise info is correct though.

  9. I have a friend in the business,who gives me lots of inside information. He is unique,only I can see him and only I can hear his voice,he is a six foot tall rabbit....sometimes he tells me to KILL!

    New Ossa

    Ishy ,does this info remedy your drunkards droop?...surely this OSSA can't be priced at the same level as a 300 Gasser? Even though I am the king of wishful thinking, this would mean an OSSA retail price lower than the new Sherco??

    New Ossa

    But on a topical note, I have postulated(er!) a theory for the global rise in sea levels: There are simply more and more boats around these days and if you apply simple Archimedes displacement principles then the maths can be applied........there you go,piece of **** Anyway, this OSSA, can we get a petition up to ask the government to subsidize the manufacturer with a

    New Ossa

    Look, it's a slow day at the office and I've been worrying about the price of this here, new bike? In comparison; what makes (made ) the Montesa 4RT so expensive? Is it because it's a 4stroke engine and they have more mechanicals?...but Beta/Sherco seem to manage to keep the price down on theirs .OSSA has a 2stroke. Or is it because it has an alloy frame?..again Beta seem to be able to moderate their prices. OSSA has a steel tube frame. Or is it (as I suspect ) Fuel Injection...how much does that add to the price of a trials bike? I'll give you a further insight into my logic process :- When I look at a new trials bike I try to imagine (like we all do) what part would be most vulnerable to damage/failure if I owned it.....then I do the 'mud-pie' test!! If it's an off-road bike I imagine throwing a mud-ball at the bike and seeing if I could cause any major problems to the machine depending on where it lands?!! All the current bikes pass this 'mental ' test if you ignore striking the radiator/fan....apart from the OSSA. The F.I. has an exposed external quadrant for the throttle cable,imagine getting that jammed. Discuss (told you I was bored).......

    Yes Glen, all my NASA G-Force training came in very handy when I tried to ride your rocket sled GasGas ! Chuck Yeager- Mach 1.06 Andy Green- Mach 1.04 Baldilocks- Mach ?? You fit nicely on that sound-barrier wall of fame
  17. I would like to see the video you describe, as the only 04 mule 4t I've ever seen was this one.....
  18. It may be too far away but try: Armstrong (engineering) at the bottom of Westgate Road, Newcastle where all the bike shops are situated. It was a while ago but they did a very good job for me on a Suzuki trail bike. The irony was that I worked at British Engines Limited at the time and my college lecturer asked me to do him a favour (guvvy job) by getting his Yamaha bored out in my machine shop....they made such an ar5e of it that when I needed my bike doing I paid 'punters rates' and went to Armstrongs.

    You know.....[sliding along the gun barrel to look out a small window] It's a Mark IV... And we've got it by the ass!.... Ok, that's enough topic wandering for me ! Back to the trials bike that I can't afford even when it's third-hand.
