  1. Just looked close and i think one pedal is rear and the other for front wheel braking ? will try Bombardiay in my search thanks !

    Pretty sure left pedal is clutch, havn't heard of different pedals for front and rear brakes.

  2. It's good for Raga ,Cabs and co. 'cos the only reason I went to the show was to be hypnotised into making me a better trials rider than Mr. Bou...so there..I've put the World title attempt on hold for the mo'. :guinness:

    Should that not be "put the world title attempt on hold for the ma"

  3. Seat pad was cut out of some thick foam with a modified jig-saw (ground the teeth off a blade - works a treat). I will see what I can do. OKO carb is on the phase 2 list, too.

    Roger

    You can buy blades from screwfix with no teeth to cut similar materials. (its a sharp wavy blade)

  4. If any of you have seen Derren Brown live you will realise that this is one of his type of observation tests.

    Another one is the ping pong doubles team that turn into gorillas.

    What it's used for is not to highlight your powers of observation or your ability to spot misdirection, but your ability to focus on the task.

    I'll not bore you with the psychology behind it but if you laughed out loud when the gorillas/bears appear(as I did) then you are 'generally':-

    Easily bored.

    Have the attention span of a small child.

    Have an inability to concentrate or focus.

    Lack determination/ willpower.

    Far too willing to accept a compromise.

    Will under achieve in most aspects of you life (job,relationships etc..).....

    ...And so the character assassination went on :o ..and how the audience laughed at my expense. :guinness: .. when I was singled out.

    On the plus side he said he couldn't ''work'' with me as it would take too long to hypnotise me and it was 'unlikely' that anyone would ever sneak up on me :) .

    Is that good or bad ?

  5. I think it is perfectly reasonable for a UK petrol station to see your risk assessment and method statement before you fill up your 5 litre can. :guinness:

    Here in Dubai, the bloke at the pump fills up your car, petrol can etc with you sat in the car, engine running on your mobile phone, smoking a fag. Oh and its dirt cheap.

    You didn't mention the sun shining as well.

  6. Dad had a trials bike shop and I was even worse at football than I am at trials.

    Holidays included the SSDT and Aberfeldy, rode them as soon as I could.

    used to spend the school holidays in the workshop or testing bikes in the car park

    suppose there was only ever going to be one outcome...

    Ive tried to pack in trials twice but accept now that its somthing to enjoy even when your an old git.

    Are you based in Scotland/Uk ? Aberfeldy 2day was a great trial when I rode it.

  7. thanks Jon & Tim looks like I'm not engaging the kick start properly before giving it a good wellie too. mines working now but still not to sure about it but that might be me being a bit paranoid. Jon if the needs be would i be best replacing the whole internals gear idler spring and shaft or is that a bit over the top cheers Paul.

    No trouble.

  8. If the cracks not completely across the casing you should drill a small hole at the ends, this should stop it progressing further.

    Personally I would contact the importer or bike shop if this is a common problem, and your bike/cover is fairly new.

  9. Husband and wife are shopping in Tesco's when the man picks up a crate of Stella and sticks them into the trolley

    'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife

    'They're on offer, only

  10. Never had any problems with plastic cans. Petol stations thats different, you have to hold it above your head so thay can see it before they will turn the pump on. Never heard of anybody having an actual problem with any sort of can. Wish "they" would turn their attention to things that actually matter.
