  1. I was taught to swim by a non swimmer, I'm sure your advice was priceless !
  2. My wife went to school with a girl whose parents had a haulage company - her name ? Phillipa Laurie.
  3. The trouble with supporting your own manufactures starts when their products are over priced crap. If the quality is there, nationalism / protectionism does'nt come into it. The financial crisis is really going to hurt Scotland, but the car manufacturing problem will have minimal effect (except to car dealers) as this was shafted long ago.
  4. Who's Dennis Miller ?
  5. Didn't realize they had judges for stroking willies, and people think trials is obscure !

    Rockshocks

    These are conventional oil shocks, they have DOT as manufactures / model name, black body, crome springs. Fitted to my B40. Purchased from Jimmy Morton Motorcycle at Mauchline, for trials. Cant really fault them.

    Rockshocks

    I've had a pair of DOT shocks for a number of years and they have been very good, nobody else seems to have heard of them. Are they still available ?
  8. It was a standard mod on KT250's, without any problems.
  9. I think all the WD were 1967, their gearing was ok more or less as standard. You could speak to C & D Autos. canddautos@eidosnet.co.uk
  10. Bit drastic, but if you do I'll buy the reat wheel.

    50 Rear Wheel Spokes

    trialsbits.co.uk supply a range of lenghts and bends but you have to roll the threads youself. (however they also sell thread rolling equipment if your pockets are deep enough )
  12. Being rare doesnt make them any good. Just a thought.
  13. Was it only me, or did the swimmer look more masculine that Hamilton ?
  14. I drilled a hole in one of the tappet covers on my B40, it breathes pretty hard through that. Did this several years ago and without tempting fate, reduces oil leakes elsewhere.
  15. It means " yae haney got twa farthengs tae rub the gether" obviously !
  16. Alright, call the cat Broke. "I woke up f**king broke"

    Axle Diameter

    Thanks Copemech, I'm not concerned about the bearings so much as the axle, I have since spoken to a machine shop who also think a 15mm axle would be strong enough, as long as it was quality steel. The 20mm option is more for using an alloy axle, but would require widening the slot on the swinging arm, which may be just moving the problem somewhere else. Ross
