  1. I would really like to have a 4t yet cant afford one as cheapest ive seen second hand was
  2. That looks amazing. Did you have to strip it completely down to do it??? I think a beta would look good like that
  3. Is that because you managed to find an off route petrol station???
  4. John lampkin says that 250 is best for clubman use. As for bad points ask if stator has ever been replaced.
  5. Not too good then! Should have got a 2 stroke! much more simple just not as beefy Are you going to enter a few enduros when you get it fixed??
  6. Do you reckon they are any good with directions Kinell??? Thats why, You could be up there!!!
  7. VERY lucky it wasnt a KTM or you can add a 0 on to the end of that number. Have you pulled the engine out yet? Did the seller warn of any problems?
  8. Why is albert cabestany down for spain and great britain???
  9. How about that quality at a nice cheap price??? Can you source any other jap stuff like those titanium fork guards??
  10. Do you have any idea if it will fit a beta?? Are the wheels Powder coated or anodized?? Ive got an electroplaters and anodising service near me and its really quite cheap as they are used to doing big jobs...... electroplated 24carat gold frame??? Get a black sprocket and gold chain as well mmmmmmmmm
  11. Daggs Have you got the hope top yoke on that lovely bike?? Where'd you get the wheels done?? Oh yeah put some really crap plastic screws to hold your mudguard on to avoid snapping it, they are rather expensive are they not??
  12. So thats what Andy looks like I thought he was a LOT older
  13. How do you find it when you fall off?? Get some pics on here soon or i'll have to put some of mine on here (soon to have copper colourd fatbars)
  14. FF i wanted them!!! I see you have a sidestand on ebay for a beta, Any chance of a nice cheap price to me???
  15. When its warm everything will have been moving and be free, When cold everything gets going at once so will be harder (not sure but sounds like it is this) The noise could be anything- bearings, piston knocking etc
  16. sounds like the kickstart gear/cog easy to replace
  17. Beautiful Bike, Love the triple clamps and the new colours. Add some carbon or kevlar fork and exhaust protectors and it will look super trick
  18. my next door neighbour has told me to join a club in kent so that way i can ride south eastern centre events, canada heights here i come!

    Rev3 Plastics

    what i did with an old mudguard was cut the ridge where it curves round off then put a flick in the end, its still brittle but can flex backwards and scrape on the ground without snapping
  20. We have a vineyard to play around on and have a bank along the back with allsorts on it. We are hoping to get some concrete tubes and tyres etc. Ill take some pics tomorrow and post them!!
  21. i know im a bad rider (no cheating apart from the occasional fuel switch off on other peoples bikes he he!)

    2003 250

    Lampkins will only replace FOC if your bike is less than 2 years old
  23. i didnt see that!!! I have a scratch down my petrol tank and tried to polish it out. No luck I covered it up with that carbon fibre stuff you saw. Did it go through the stickers???
  24. also think about it maintenance wise (not against sherco but just sayin) My mate has a mont and tends to occasionally maintain it and its fine apart from back brake (his fault) Either bike will be fine but get a 250 sherco as the 290s rip up the mud in our centre and dont track as well
