Its about time Horses where taxed the same as cars if they want to ride them on the roads !

I have one, and they are great, would not be without one now, I use one of the standard ones just for washing the bike and like said by someone else, tightening the chain .

TMX paper

As sson as a read the announcment that Doug had signed for Beta, i said to our lass straight away, that as soon as the Lampkin replica is released , i'm having one , and thats that !!!

Reeth 3 day for me.. What awsome scenery, sections and this year weather too and the beer in the Black Bull was quite magnificent as well . Hopefully I will be there again next year !!

I don't think its a case of being scared. Even John Lampkin advises that if you are not an expert you do not need a 270 as it will not be used to its full potential. I would even say as much, that you all will not be able to do anymore on your 270's , than on a 250 if you are all honest . Just waiting for the barrage now, that you are all top expert riders

the best way guranteed is to kick th bike up, pull the clutch in and tie it, let it warm while you are putting your gear on , un tie clutch select 1st and hey pesto no sticking gears . A lot less effort needed than rocking bike back and forth IMHO .

I have done a few schools and the best teacher for me was Dan Clark, he just brings on your confidence so much, and that is half the battle in trials, most will come to you if you have the cash Dans number is 07768982029

The way i see it, is if it comes down to a point decision, i beleive Mayweather will get it, just because of his jabbing speed, if there is to be a knockout it will be Ricky that is the victor. Go on Ricky do us Brits proud and shut that pretty boy up (well he thinks himself pretty ! NOT ME !! I am not that way inclined !!!!!!!)

My bike was runnung a little rough at the weekend sounded a little choked. No matter how much i turned the idle up it would not tick over for love nor money . 1st thing i thought was that it was water, checked the airbox and dry as a bone. Then Tried a new plug still no joy . Pal said it might be the mixture he checked it and it was way off. He turned it in and turned it out 2 turns, they tick over was a hell of alot better, then he adjusted the idle so it sounded ok, then he turned it out very slowly until it started to pick up then just turned it back a touch . Bingo sounds a runs sweet again. The problem was that the mixture screw had moved in under vibration, a little lock nut and it won,t do that again !! hope this helps !!

I have PM,d you

My ALL time favourit toy was the Evel Knievel wind up toy, i used my 1st one that much i had to have another the christmas after because i had worn all the teeth off the cogs. Then last year my Lady bought me one for christmas, (I am now 34,) because all the stories i told her about my child hood and tha is one of my biggest memories, playing with the toy. What a guy ! RIP . The legend Evel Knievel

This one needs an introduction, so you won't be lost at the beginning. This man was in an accident at work, so he filled out an insurance claim. The insurance company contacted him and asked for more information. This was his response: "I am writing in response to your request for additional information, for block number 3 of the accident reporting form. I put 'poor planning' as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully and I trust the following detail will be sufficient. I am an amateur radio operator and on the day of the accident, I was working alone on the top section of my new 80-foot tower. When I had completed my work, I discovered that I had, over the course of several trips up the tower, brought up about 300 pounds of tools and spare hardware. Rather than carry the now unneeded tools and material down by hand, I decided to lower the items down in a small barrel by using the pulley attached to the gin pole at the top of the tower. Securing the rope at ground level, I went to the top of the tower and loaded the tools and material into the barrel. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow decent of the 300 pounds of tools." "You will note in block number 11 of the accident reporting form that I weigh only 155 pounds. Due to my surprise of being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rather rapid rate of speed up the side of the tower. In the vicinity of the 40-foot level, I met the barrel coming down. This explains my fractured skull and broken collarbone. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time, I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold onto the rope in spite of my pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of tools hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel." "Devoid of the weight of the tools, the barrel now weighed approximately 20 pounds. I refer you again to my weight in block number 11. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the tower. In the vicinity of the 40-foot level, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, and the lacerations of my legs and lower body. The encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell onto the pile of tools and, fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the tools, in pain, unable to stand and watching the empty barrel 80 feet above me, I again lost my presence of mind. I let go of the rope..."

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the "Chicken Surprise." The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. "GOOD GRIEF, DID YOU SEE THAT?" she asks her husband. He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees the same two beady little eyes before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening and demands an explanation. "Please sir," says the waiter, "what you order?" The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise." "Ah! So solly," says the waiter, "I bring you PEEKING DUCK!"

Well done lad !! He beat Knight for the win, even though Knight was not trying as hard as he could, so he would win the championship, a win is a win, and robbed knight of the $50 000 extra for completing the hat trick.. A bit p*ssed off I think, but then again he has won the championship and well done to him too for that !!

I know they are bad, but i just had to tell them .. OXO have brought out a red and white cube to celebrate Englands Euro cup campaign. It's called the laughing stock ! Whats the differnce between Lewis Hamilton and the England football team. Lewis will still have his Mclaren !

Lampkins do not have a price list online, other shops will have certain prices for certain parts, put for genuine parts i can't see they would be cheaper than Lampkins or better on service !! You could try Evilbay I suppose.

I am assuming its for your REV 3. Just call the importer Lampkins on 01535655970

That is correct

Was talking to a source close to Dougie yesterday , and their view was that they could not see him going to Beta as that is not where the money is . I hope they are wrong !!

When i pressed the add reply button, i knew someone would say something, just dint have time to change it

I removed the toe tip as well, still o joy.. but will try getting the mrs to sit on it. Thanks

I would say 2 stroke

How the hell do you get the rear break pedal out ? I have removed the allen key bolt where the pedal pivots , the spring and plunger removed and then the pedal seems to be free . But can i hell as jiggle it out ! Is there a special technique ? Or is it a total dismemberment of the rear end ? Forgot to say that the pedal is very slightly bent and i do mean very slightly. All help greatly appreciated . Cheers
