  1. Hey Big John why can t you mention the name of the bank in the North East with Financial problems on here ??
  2. for f f f f f ducks sake not another four stroke now wonder he 's not riding much, crazy fool has probably tried to put it on a bike rack himself and done his back
  3. Shoei Helmet so far but Ive been debating new sherco vs rebuild 07 for a while now.
  4. Whats happened Addict you seem to have disapeared is your bike fully sorted now ? anyone know how much a new piston is for a 290 , thinking of keeping mine for next year but I think it could do with a re build.
  5. i see they have gone back to an ordinary clutch
  6. MArk I see you had Trident boots ! they were pants, they came with a motocross sole, or mine did anyway.
  7. 1992 Ahvala on the Aprillia, Tarres on Beta, Amos had left emmerdale and was riding for Gas Gas ! Tarres won I think
  8. Yes its a big lap , about 10 miles I think but its one of the best NE trials of the year, get yourself there mate. theres two courses and we'll give you a standing ovation when your bike starts you need a full tank for each lap so bring plenty petrol
  9. I loved the story of him jumping the double decker buses a mate was telling me of a documentry about it apparently Evil turns up and looks a bit puzzled, the promoter asked what was wrong and he replied " I didnt think the buses were this big, I cant jump that far !" as the tickets had all been sold he had a go anyway.......... some fella RIP
  10. I can t believe a man who rides his bike up and down the drive has been able to wear out a tyre Has Ham fitted a tyre in preperation for this weekends trial ? be good to see you there Ham, its a great trial and I'm tired of being last
  11. I'm sure he married Gilles Burgats sister. the book he did was excellent, although I can t do some of those things now and I've been trying for 25 years !!
  12. Well done mate trial sunday then ? theres two to choose from !
  13. BUT getting back to windlestones point if you have an 08 scorpa why do you need to know how to start a 4rt ? are you a closet 4rt fan ? are you dyslexic and bought a Scorpa by mistake

    2008 Rev 3 Chain

    wonder if the inferior, made in china, Xispa will have that problem ? still a new Beta is only
  15. THe biggest mistakes I made when learning this technique ( like I'm a professional now ) were 1) not revving the bike hard enough, the first time you do rev it hard enough you think your going to die when you let out the clutch ! 2) approaching the kicker too fast, the bike needs to be almost at a standstill when you let out the clutch to get the lift you need, its really a slingshot.
  16. yes i'm in tonight ham and Ive got the seals here now. they are 25 40 7
  17. Wayne as I'm an accountant by profession lets look at costs and benefits Option A if you use the new seals you have you can rebuild your bike and then need to do quite a lot of work after only 10 mins of riding if the seal leaks Cost

    In my experience Mr Kinell is right. You can check by going to both extremes, you should be able to tell if its too rich or weak
  19. NO NO NO Ham, you cant give up on the mains replacement and buy a Beta after all the advice the TC community has provided .
  20. Couldn't help myself I used to have a 315 though You can apparently fit CR250 clutch plates to the 315 although I haven't done it myself. From memory I think there are three paper based plates and the others are fibre or cork, its the paper plates that cause the dragging. I just used PJ1 cluch tuner in mine and it was ok
  21. windlestone told me the clutch in the 315 and the 4rt is rubbish. apparently thats why Doug left
  22. Doug for me and what he rides is a bit of a side show ( i have just returned from the pub ) what will Cota Kids new name be ? Beta Boy or Beta Blokey ? or will he be tight and try and modify his existing one piece suit collection ? might see you sunday CK
  23. I reckon 4 months from the first time he mentioned it and he's only got the engine out of the frame this week. So by the time he's finished........................
  24. As TMX were a little shy I though't I'd post this on here Mr Roger Harvey Williams, the Stockton Stallion, clevelands answer to George Clooney no less, won the Twin Shock class at the Peak trial and secured his first British Championship. No doubt he's still talking about it and looking forward to those championship winners get togethers in the years to come with Dougie, Graham, Steve Colley, Steve Saunders and friends. I understand he will NOT be moving to Switzerland for tax reasons congratulations mate.
  25. like it perce cheaper than bondage gear as well for that real leather feel..........
