  1. Pardon an "off-topic" question from a Yank.

    Do your Trials in the UK require that bikes be registered?

    Alan

    Only if they have road sections like the pre 65 scottish and the ssdt. Most local / club trials do not require road compliance.

  2. One of the blessings of being stupid is that you don't know you're stupid...... until something goes wrong

    I've found that the more stupid people are, the more intellegent they "think" they are.

    Politicians spring to mind.

  3. The Human Body

    It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.

    One human hair can support 3kg (6.6 lb).

    The average man's pen1s is two times the length of his thumb.

    Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.

    A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.

    There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.

    Women blink twice as often as men.

    The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.

    Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

    If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

    Women reading this will be finished now.

    Men are still busy checking their thumbs.

  4. Oh Yes.

    This will be the verse they changed :-

    Lord grant that Marshal Wade

    May by thy mighty aid Victory bring.

    May he sedition hush,

    And like a torrent rush,

    Rebellious Scots to crush.

    God save the Queen!

    and you wonder why ........

  5. Now, back in the days of yore..... early 80's, I remember being awestruck by big Charley Demathieu who was Eddy Lejeunes mechanic at the time. His party piece was to pull a tyre of the rim with his hands, deflate the tyre stand on the bugger then pull tyre and tube away together.....now that was impressive.

    Like to see him do it with a tubeless !

  6. Arc weld the right peg, remembering to disconnect all your electrics.

    Carefully build up the left footrest, oversize, and grind to suit. Arc weld is very hard and will last more than long enough.

  7. Braithwaites Ghyll today, it's approx 3/4's of a mile of green & slippery beck & there's two big waterfalls which the water keeps washing away, we usually have them to alter each year but every now & then it's a total rebuild. They sorted out the bottom waterfall a few weeks back, it was just a refurb job, the top waterfall was a complete rebuild.

    Dont let the envior-mentalists see you doing that !

  8. The tories have a real problem which is why their conference was all doom and gloom.

    I feel sorry for them as there big chance to prove how they could be an alternative to the the present government say two years ago has almost been scuppered by the gigantic debt the country is in due to the banking bail out and recession. Can they turn anything around in 5 years as they will no doubt win the next election?

    In some ways they should walk away now as there hands are tied and the taxes we will have to pay and the cuts in services will mean that any idea that they can do any good will be spoiled.

    Apart from the fact that they are no different as far as expenses are concerned. I've no time for any of them, to be honest.

    My solution? Go to work earn a few bob pay some tax send my kids to school in the hope that when I am old enough to retire (65 lab 66 tories?) theres enough in the pot for me to play with the bikes and fettle in the warm sunset etc etc.

    Retire at 66, in your dreams, most of us workers will have to work till we drop.

  9. THIS IS LABOUR GOVERNMENT

    The squirrel, the dogs and the victims of the hijacking, the bombing, the burglaries and robberies have to pay an additional percentage on their credit cards to cover losses. Their taxes are increased to pay for law and order, and they are told that they will have to work beyond 65 because of a shortfall in government funds.

    THE END

    Sadly its just the start !

  10. God man, give us a break! Even Tombo is a realist! You know it when you purchased the lightest comp machine made! It comes with a stated warranty against defects! You get what you get! Add, it is what it is! It's not like he does not use the thing. So it needs a minor(acceptable) weld repair.

    I would dearly love to see someone like you bitch enough till everyone got tired of hearing your lip, then just hand you a bare unpainted frame and tell you to hit the road, have a nice day! I am sure you would still complain as you would probably not know what to do with it! You would probably expect your gas money for the trip along with the letter of apology! I would write to the president of Spain if I were you! Here's your sign! B)

    If one breaks, I would agree with your comments.

    What if 10, or 20 break ?
