  1. If youve got a fancy tank breather take it off, might just be blocked and stopping fuel going into carb, if thats ok check the carb itself is flowing fuel and the floats arnt stuck, all this though assuming you have a spark. Sometimes its tricky to see a spark in the day, best way is to try at night it will soon show.

    The real mans way to check if theres a spark is to hold the plug, ease over gently, you'le soon know if its getting power !

    Saves on hair gell.

    This isn't just a P45.....it's a Marks and Spencer P45

    Thats a bit topical innit !

  3. It's been on eBay twice over Christmas, there was a spat between the owner and others as there's almost nothing original on the bike and the frame in particular has been changed to an Indian Enfield but retained the original reg, not sure how they got away with that one!

    This isn't any secret, the owner seemed honest enough with the description but a couple of folk took umbridge that he was advertising it as a pre-65 bike.

    Wonder if the registration is transferable ?

  4. Although its several years since I last rode, I imagine riding a run of the mill, ie. standardish... bike would be extremely hard work and dare I say it a struggle. As the bikes have evolved without doubt the trial must have become harder and although it is always won with a low score I dont think it reflects how difficult it can be.

    Another point, people tell me that the " Stars and their shinny bikes" get rides because it is what the knowledgeble crowd want, is it though.

    I wonder if people would actually rather see a more standard array of machines climbing pipeline, chuckling, knowing thats what classic trials is all about or a

  5. After announcing he's getting married, a boy tells his pal he'll be wearing the kilt. "And what's the tartan?" asks his mate. "Oh, she'll be wearing a white dress," he replies.

    A man takes a pair of shoes back to the shop and complains that there is a lace missing.

    "No," argues the assistant, "look at the label - it says Taiwan "

    What's the difference between The Rolling Stones and an Aberdeen sheep farmer? The Rolling Stones say: "Hey you, get off of my cloud." And an Aberdeen sheep farmer says: "Hey McLeod, get off of ma ewe."

    What about the Scotsman who lost his testicles in a motorcycle accident? The surgeon re-attached them with Bostik.

    After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for

    Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.

    I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

    The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.

    So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said,

    'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed

    my

    Social Security application.

    When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at

    the Social Security office.

    She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have

    gotten disability, too'

    And then the fight started.....

    My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion,

    and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at

    a nearby table.

    My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old

    girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up

    those

    many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'

    'My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on

    celebrating that long?'

    And then the fight started.....

  6. I think having a reserve price costs more in listing fees so pulling it early is an option but doesnt instill much confidence in a seller on Ebay as you know it will happen. Shill bidding is terrible now on Ebay as the user ID's are not shown anymore and as Pete says the feedback system is well unfair

    Youknow but, well unfair.

  7. There are two major social networking sites, MySpace and Facebook. Facebook tends to be for a more mature audience and is more restrictive as to content. MySpace tends to be a free for all.

    Big John is on Facebook, what other endorsement do you need?

    Look, last time I took this advice I spent 3 years chanting Hari Chrishna.

  8. Ok, new Trials Central group created.

    If any of the Trials Central owner(s) object to this group, please let me know and I will remove it.

    The group is open and is a place for folks to meet up over on Facebook.

    I will be happy to share or hand over ownership or administration at any point.

    I could ask my daughter but, what is facebook ?
