sorry...kind of changing subject a bit..but I
-
Gaz who??...not Gaz Hinton is it ...sorry, Im away with work so I dont have this weeks T&MX.
-
I want Dougie Lampkin for president..then we could ride anywhere...right Dougie??...now THAT would be cool
-
hee-hee...nice one Kinell
-
OK...so Im gonna be the miserable bit again.
(starting with the last question first)..I kind of hope not too many people do get into trials since thats one of the things that first attracted me.
For some reason I
-
How are you putting the new seals in??...be really, really sure that they are seated properly, which sometimes takes alot of persuasion!!....that was a problem I had for a while, untill a mechanic friend showed me just how much
-
thats a very good point r2w..I definately wouldnt go for the Rev with upside down forks..but any after that would be OK I reckon...specially the 02 one!!!!!!! ...ahem..like mine which is for sale
If you find a REALLY good techno they are probably still very competetive in the right hands
-
Hi Pitley...
yep..Im selling it, and might for a little while be on the Aprilia..hopefully not TOO long though..then Im gonna try and upgrade to an 05..(with a little loan from the parents!!..lucky me eh!)..untill I start that new job.
SO:..if you fancy an 02 one, get yer wallet out ....they are of course much better than the 06 ones!!!!!!!
-
yeah...even a small scratch sometimes seems to blow the seals...also make sure that the seals are REALLY well seated??
-
Definately go for a Rev3....I wouldnt discount the 02 model either...(specially since I have one for sale!! )...but seriously, I've had absolutely NO problems with mine...esp. with airbox!!!..only thing better about the 03 airbox is that you can access the filter quicker...(about 20 seconds quicker)...which isnt much of a big deal really is it guys!
-
I wouldnt say they wanna get them into gangs, drugs etc...
but having lived in Hong Kong, for a while, it all seems a bit like that place.!!
There, they just want kids to work their asses off!!!!!!!
study, study, and study...NOTHING else it seems.
I know some families who wouldnt take their kids hiking 'cause even that is frowned upon..(mosquitos and oooh my poor little Johnny might fall over and graze his knee)as for any kind of motorsport..well the gov'ent there seems to hate it nearly as much as anything with 2 wheels is hated in UK.
poor kids eh!!!!!!!...what a boring time they'll have!
Sorry..rant over
-
You can still get 10 points according to my ACU book....BUT...it is for
Not attempting a section when called upon to do so by an official...or
Missing a section or failing to have a punch card marked.
the acu book does clearly state that a 5 will be awarded if...
When requested by a rider rather than attempt a section.
SO there we have it..and it makes sense if you ask me...If Joe Bloggs doesnt wanna do a section then he's within his rights to ask for a 5...or at least thats the way I understand it
Not that I've ever done it though..I'm far too mad..or is it stupid????...hee-hee..
-
Ummmm...you're not gonna like me for this r2w, but I'm NOT joking. Forgot to tell you the other day, that when I was watching you riding, you're bike was loosing fuel!! , still not as much as others I've seen, and maybe its only when you're really bouncing around or something, but it was loosing some!
One thing I DO have to agree with r2w on though, is the set up of his bike is amazing...it feels like its got a turbo compared to others I've ridden...it also sounds amazingly smoother/better.
AND..I know the extra performance is not only the fast action throttle, 'cause I used to have one on my bike, and although I thought it made much less difference than people said it would, I didnt like it so I took it off again.
-
For me it would HAVE to have a hydraulic clutch, otherwise I wouldnt pay anything for it.
Really cant get on with the cable ones..especially the one on my Aprilia
-
Yeah, but thats with 100 tea breaks in between!
-
Yep...you can bet yer life, that'll be the next thing to put a stop to us all having a bit of fun...just like the foot and mouth
-
Yes...I cant even figure out WHO the tubeless fronts are for...I THINK maybe old Fantics or something??
Anyway..in my limited experience, you will never get a tubeless front tyre to bead on a tube type rim...so..sorry, you better buy another tyre
-
Just chuck a lit match in,...that might get the tank off
-
mmmmmm...slightly worrying!
-
Scorpa 3....if you ever get that practice site sorted out, I'd be happy to come and crash test it for ya ..I'm often over your way, since my parents live near there
-
welcome half a tYRE right (hee-hee)!!...I started at 31 years old...and I'm AMAZING..(not!!!)..but I reckon I've still got a few years to catch up...theres a guy I regularly compete against whos in his 70's and he's still a very fine rider.
-
Billy...shouldn't it be.... "or am I A dinosaur"???
-
Mmmmmm, Id rather not think about that
on my first lap I THINK I only got about 6, which is very good for me, but then I threw it all away, and I have no idea what I got on the second lap, but it would have been in the twenties maybe?
Still enjoyed it though, just frustrating, 'cause its taking me a long time to get used to riding in the UK, and after my first lap I thought I was finally getting somewhere.
-
Yep cleaned that section on the first lap, but got a one on the second lap.
I must say though, that I probably only cleaned it, because I was 'shown the way' having seen Oliver Wareing ride it.
WOW,,,,he rode it SO nice, smooth, just brilliant...some of that magic must have rubbed off on me for the first lap....my second lap however was a different story!!!!!!!
great trial..look forward to the next one there
-
hope not!
the rev3 is just getting better and better..dont fix what aint bust eh!
mind you, I'm still unsure on the ruling...maybe they've GOT to make a 4t??
