Is this whole topic not just in parallel to what is happening in society in general ? Instant gratification, constantly wanting more, bigger, shinier. Get it on credit, worry about paying for it tomorrow. If it breaks, throw it away and buy a new one.
Pre-65, in my opinion, should be an antidote to all the above.
By the way I'm not 85, and didn't fight in the war etc.
And I dont like tubless tyres either, so there.

Income tax- state and federal- (penalize me for being a productive member of society and support the lazy *******s)
2 or 3 different taxes on gasoline
sales tax (varies by state, where I at is 6%)
windfall profit tax (for businesses)
luxury tax.
"sin" taxes - (special taxes on tobacco and alcohol)
Death and taxes the only guarantees in life.
well enough ranting..........I still ain't gonna move to a new state or country so I guess it don't bother me that much.
Yeah - but we are members of the EU, which means we follow every law they introduce, except when it comes to duty on tobacco and booze. Scotch whiskey is cheaper in France than the UK. I kid you not.
I'm curious whether anyone has a basic wiring diagram for a TL320. Mine is not running now, as it has no spark. I've pulled off the electrical tape that was wadded up along the top rail of the frame, and found four wires, two green and two yellow, that are not connected to anything, though it appears that the two green wires may have been connected to each other before I removed the insulating tape. There is also a blue wire, connected to the coil.
I'm guessing that the yellow wires are for the lighting system (and so they are unused on this bike, as it has no lights.) What are the green wires, and where should they connect?
When rotax motors arn't used for a while the points can stick, quick spray will usually fix. If the cam on the flywheel has surface rust this will wear the heel of the points very quickly, worth a check. I have had no real problems with points or condensors over the years, and wouldnt go to the time or expense of electronic ignition. I'm pretty sure I got my last points from a chain saw supplier.
didn't pay it there,have no buisness there. couldn't therefore when back in the uk pay it to anyone as the van vat free was purchased from a belgian, ie no one to pay it to.
However when I registered them, both required signing a seperate sheet to say I would "account" for the vat in my returns, think again I gave my vat number. So I never actually "paid" vat at all.
What I can't work out is how some dealers in spain can send bikes to the uk vat free when I had to jump through a few hoops.
Personally without a decent warranty I would never buy a trials bike this way its not worth it. Second hand I wouldn't chance it.
Surley not paying vat & reclaiming vat are different ?
If your not vat registered what would the situation be?
Yeah, got my tax demand on Christmas Eve aswell. The cynical among us would believe they do that on purpose.....probably with their trousers around their ankles!
So I hope the same God is looking down on our SSDT entry form.
Good luck for the SSDT.
The only good thing about paying your TAX is the very nice thank you letter you get from Alister Darling saying " thanks for your hard earned dosh, you know I'm going to spend it wisely........"
Most cases that i see, and i see a growing amount are due to a Kyphotic posture which sadly we're prone to in trials Kyphosis Site
As the head moves forward and the shoulders pronate it causes problems with the radial nerve. It runs from cervical 7 and 8 in the neck and can sometimes be attributed to radial tunnel syndrome rather than tennis elbow . In most cases i see its usually a little of both issues.
Mobilize the nerve using some stretches, place the arm against a wall with the wrist extended and stretch it within pain free range, next move around into further positions in order to floss the nerve.
Its also worth stretching Pec Major and Minor and looking at the alignment of the neck. Try to rest it and build up slowly and it should be fine in no time. Hope that makes some sort of sense.
I have suffered T E / R T S in both arms for years. Have been taking cod liver oil which seems to help. Dont know if its all in the heed. (Couldnt spell sicosematic)
Does your bike have a large capacitor/condensor ? I found (before changing to Boyer) that if you took the plug cap off and kicked it over several times, then replaced the cap it would start no problem. This was not a Bantam incidentally.
I believe the reason Xispa is having a hard time on this site is because it appears to be a copy, this is unfair on the original company who put their time , effort and money into development.
Making false accusations like this without proof is going to get you banned! I have NOT deleted any posts from this thread so I suggest you get your facts right before you wish to make any other blatant false statements such as this
Many years ago when petrol could be stored for weeks and seemed to work well, it was drummed into me that it was important to leave the addition of the oil till the last minute for the best results from the brew.
With the pump petrol we get here, it goes to crap so fast that it is now quite irrelevant when you mix in the oil. If straight modern petrol or premix is more than 2 weeks old, it goes into my car fuel tank.
I assume your car doesnt have a catalitic converter, cats dont like additives.
Practice a section in whatever gear you decide is right, once you can clean it try again in another gear. Good practice as you are always going to come across a section where there is no perfect gear.
