  1. Does it have a model number ? PDC just means (Programe delivery control - so you'll miss the start of a program recording if the program's air time is running late
  2. Its black gunky liquid stuff you put in your tyres
  3. Boys Boys Boys Boys Boys !! Start to use filter oil immediatly, it is probably one of the most impotant things to use on your bike, probably the 3rd most important with gear box oil and 2 stroke oil being the most important 2. It helps massivley to stop dirt entering the carb and the engine, its works like fly paper being quite sticky to the touch, dont need to use loads, just spray it all over the filter, inside and out, put it into a plastic bag and massage it in then squeeze any excess out, should be done everyother ride minimum. I think i will just tap off the HT lead to get the fairy lights going
  4. Its not a rumour that it will run alongside the 2 stroke , its fact as per John Lampkin and it is a Beta's own engine not a derivative of something else, its also not fuel injected but has a carb thats all the info there is until the launch .
  5. I ll put fairy lights on the cross bar as well
  6. So am I, You may or may not have seen me there before. Big lad on Beta 250, My mate Lee D rides a 06 sherco 290. see you there too!!! cheers Leigh Nice one !! Not done a Barnsley trial before, so prob not seen you. So see you there too. Ps. You will be able to recognise me, i am a short a***d bolding tw*t, that everytime i take my helmet off steam pours off my head and i look like a beetroot .I take my helmet off at just about every section to cool down .
  7. Leggins, I am doing the Barnsley trial on the 19th, so see you there !!
  8. What technique I just Hang on for dear life and go wherever the bike takes me, or doesn't take me. No control just like a flag in the wind
  9. It may be that your combi only plays + DVD's ? Not sure if this will help, but making your DVD recorder region free may help. just a thought .. http://www.dvdexploder.com/dvdcodes.htm
  10. It would have been nice for him to be world champ on a Beta tho. Yes it makes a refreshing change for Toni to have won .. Well Don Toni . He may be champ on the outdoor seen, can't see it on the inddor series tho, would be nice to see him, do it, would prefer Doug to do it.
  11. Yep that was me, avoiding those minging chips. Mexican Pete, I like the name and know exactly who you are talking about, i can't picture you tho. Its the 19th we was on about going to Dean Head. I not going to the meet this week. Have a good trial, or swim.
  12. When i go to the meet i go with Ben. I am the short a***d **** with not very much hair Yeh its some sized room !! Ya knackered if someone lights a fag up, cos ya can,t see anyone for the smoke Think we was going to Dean Head next weekend, but thats the date of the trial you are on about, i used to live about 5 minutes from dovecliff in the car, not rode there tho. And what's up with 5,s ?? Thats my favourite number, as it feels like thats all i get is 5's
  13. Ey up mate, No not going to that one, will be out next weekend have a blast with the lads locally, Majicat and Firestarter 1977 want to meet up, nothing set in stone yet, went to the meet on wednesday, they was planning the xmas trial, where is the Comp on the 19th, and where did you finish last time you entered. i just aim to not be last lol.

    Spanish Gp

    I agree, i know i am not driving one of the cars, but there used to be a special something about F1 drivers, as if they was the bravest men on the planet hurtling around corners at mega speeds whilst holding the steering wheel with one hand and actually changing gears with the clutch and all that, none of this paddle stuff and semi auto gearbox , with no clutch apart from the start. I know it is all development for the future road cars, but in the interest of the sport i would ban ALL driver aids, traction control, auto gear box, have the gear shift off the steering collum. i would also bring back slicks. i would probably now bring double points in for a win now Schumacher has left, just to give everyone a push and not just lay back, because they already have 3 houses, 2 boats and a helicopter. more of them need to push the car to the limits like Schumacher did ( not that i liked the guy, but god did he try, just look at his last race )
  16. I only watch mans sports and that covers most motorised sports, GP, Superbikes,trials, rallying, touring cars, not those sports that when an oppenant looks at them they fall over and cry foul.. Right set of nancy boys . ALL OF THEM !!
  17. They needed to get a top rider in to keep the Beta name in the public eye. Shame it wasn't Dougie.
  18. I bought some sealskin socks last week and used them in a trial on Sunday, where the majority of sections had running water , they kept my feet so warm and dry , where as normally they would have been p*ss wet through, i did buy the thermal ones, but they also do a light weight version, so i would assume that they would do the same for gloves. I would say that they are the best investment i have made in trials clothing by far. Hope this helps you a little.
