    Txt/pro

    txtpro, what year/cc is your bike ? it looks like a pro in the picture and the early ones did say txt up the tank .
  3. i use xcting dougie replica's i'm on my second pair now and like them very much , they are very thin and give good feel , no blisters and dry out on car heater in about 10 mins . but i always use medium renthal grips which i think stop the blisters more than gloves . :madsanta:
  4. dont think so , i haven't seen any hip hop in the mag before !
  5. off topic i know , but did you see you got a mention in TBM , mr sunt ?
  6. i have seen an 04 sy with pro discs fitted , dont know if they are any cheaper though .

    if you use "industrial " type ratchet straps with a delta / hook combo and weld the two parts of the hook together then loop the strap thro the delta it will not move , this is the system i use instead of the cheap bike shop type straps and it worked on my husaberg (magura tapers) fine
  8. :snowman: isn't a gazoo one of the things posh folk put in their back gardens to use at tea parties !!! i think he means kazoo ..... (yes i know shut up you tw*t )
  9. good point , out trick honda .... COOL
  10. forks, shock,wheels,hyd clutch,cdi unit ,carb(?),yokes
  11. like i said dude its that (wr/yz) or the ttr250 motor, i dont know of another yam 250 motor unless they use the xt 250 motor
  12. is that not kind of stating the obvious ,given the title/topic of this thread!
  13. the thing about this is that a test is purely objective anyhoo and is as someone said earlier an opinion of someone else,therefore may not be applicable to your riding ability / style but you can hold a proper test and point out some of the (ahem) not so good parts of a bike , and with good writing and journalistic skills make it sound like constructive critisism rather than an all out attack on the bike , the importers etc and shirley that wouldnt upset too many people ....... now would it
  14. bring it on !! let sir melber and his crew show em how its really done !!
  15. the point is not the fact that most trials bikes are similar or wether they can out perform most riders,we already know that ! all we ask for is an unbiased test to read and to give us some more info than we can pick up talking to john smith at our local trial , as woody pointed out TBM do it, jezza can do it so why cant TMX ... no balls thats why , if they are not going to do comparison tests or get totally unbiased riders then it is surely a review and not a test !!!!
  16. thats looking like another nail in the coffin for two strokes then ! just hope they dont use the TTR 250 engine its 'quite large' or will it be an adapted WR-F engine , electric start trials bike anyone !!
  17. i unfortunatley wont be riding this trial ,but the bdmc run the tc trial and it was a great laugh , too much beer but there you go , and as it seems by stu's answers it is to be run as a one off for areet good laugh , and to help people wind down after a busy year at work etc .... GOOD ON YA BDMC !!!
  18. it is really the 175 i want anyway , less chance i think of "outgrowing" the bike and im a bit sad in that i like the trick race parts fitted , sounds good so far , keep em comin lads !
  19. cheers john , how do you find the suspension on the 125 i was told ( no offence)it was a bit er .. low rent and do they run tubed tyres , is the traction better than the pro ( mines an 03 too)?
  20. as above pj1 , works for me and change often or lots of people use dextron 3 atf (from a car shop , real cheap but dont be fobbed off with any old atf ,must be the exact thing)
  21. i currently ride a gas gas pro 250 at (rather poor ) clubman B level and im looking to change my bike in the fairly near future , and i really fancy a 175 4t scorpa , i like the look, the simplicity and the individuality but will it be right for me ? i know i can only answer that question ultimately but what are the owners views , what are the advantages?? pitfalls ??
  22. ok... but why not take it to the DIRT BIKE SHOW where it belongs , odd methinks , but looks v.nice as do all the 05 shercos
