Ross (alias B40RT), You will get me into deep trouble with Messrs. Fox; Cook and Bristow re-quoting me like that!!!

Sorry, just a typo !

Nope, it wasn't that. I think they all the girls looked very nice and fat.

I do have an electric polisher too if it needs something extra.

Andy.

Did you get that from Anne Summer's ?

Isn't it a bit like line dancing, you can see its a skill but always come back to, why? Bit like people under 55 riding pre 65's, why?

I didn't have much respect or admiration(at the time) for what has become pre 65, but now really enjoy the sight, sound and smell of a bygone era.

Line dancing ? Is that a drug reference ?

Scorpas like all bikes have their defects but guess with a motor 16 years old they have sorted that end.

They also have a habit of surrendering

It is better to live on one's knees that to die on one's feet, or something. Catch 22

Its not important but if the 09 is the same as the 10 then it begs the question how long can they keep going selling a handful of rebadged machines? We all know that the motor is 25 years old, but that is fine if the market is buying the product, is it?

With the relyability issuses that keep appearing on various pages, I know which I would prefer. The French have a habit of surviving against all odds.

I feel sorry for birks as he has got a job on when the manufacturer isn't getting the bikes through to sell. Whether they will survive is another matter but if the finances are as dire for them as we are led to believe I can't see them affording the costs of developing a new engine, but hope I'm wrong.

the bikes would be the first batch this year? 09 when the others are just out with the '10's doesn't look good......

Just change the 09 to 10 if it matters that much. For most riders its not that important !

Dixie,

"Too many bikes is not enough" eh?

When you are thinking about putting a C90 lump (limp?) in a gasser 80, you clearly DO have too many bikes!

and to much time.

It would be nice to get an entry this year !

And preferably a tyre and 2 rim locks :-)

Always looking for the easy way :-)

Hello Ross,

Its a tube- , compr air- and tyreless rim....

Cheers,

Hi Pat

You would have to put a tube in for the pre 65 scottish, under the present rules.

Is that a tubless rim ?

So it is a true story then?

Sorry, what were you saying, just been buying more wallets.

I sat waiting in Hereford Tesco but no joy, maybe tomorrow??

Might be finished with them by Sunday !

This is serious. Please BEWARE!

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam while out shopping.

Simply dropping into Sainsbury's for a bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic.

Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot.

They both start cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another supermarket store, in my case, Tesco at Hereford.

You agree and they both get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked.

Then, when you pull over to remonstrat e, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!

I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th. Also May 1st, 4th,6th,10th twice yesterday and very likely again this coming weekend.

P.S. Aldi have wallets on sale for

Just ordered two copies.

Is that so you can watch it in 3D then ?

Hi Ross.Good score at Abington on sunday.Did you enjoy it?

Thinking of the pushrod motor myself.Lots of Brazil built CG125's about and the motor is pretty robust.

Gearing,exhaust and electrics are probably the main problems I think,other then actually mounting the engine in the frame.

Would I need a battery? A small dry cell would be easy to locate as I would use a K&N type filter so plenty of space where the airbox should go.

Do these motors plonk low down for trials? Gearing would have to be trial and error,large sprocket on the back and not much speed but would only be for club/fun trials anyway.

Always enjoy Abington, nice to get a few cleans.

Hows the head?

Speak to Hamish about this, by coincidence we were talking about these engines, and he seems to have alot of experience and knowledge regarding interchangeability of Honda parts. I think he said he used TL125 1st 2nd & 3rd, along with the original 4th & 5th from the CG.

I am not familiar with a TLM 220 but for past bikes I have used a thread gauge from machine mart etc. to measure the pitch of the thread, they are about

Mountain bikers have been known to poure PVA in to cure this problem. (available in B&Q builders yard in 5l containers)

You could also try Bead Paste, available from Viking Inernational, 5kg tub for

The push rod motor has quite a good reputation for this type of conversion.

I have 2 rear wheels doing this, 1 has new tyre & the other has only just bneen turned although was giving issues beforehand. New rimtapes & stems fitted with everything clean but still problems, getting expensive this spending afternoon setting a trial then only managing 4 sections

Stick a tube in it.
