  1. I have Adobe 7.0

    I cannot view .pdf files in Explorer.

    for example I go to the NATC website and click on the results for Round 5. At the bottom of my browser it states that it is downloading the file, But all I get is a blank web page.

    If I save the exact same file to my computer and then open Adobe I can view the file and see my name in glorious black and white down near the bottom of my class.

    How do I get adobe and exploder to work together? It just one day they didn't like to talk to each other any more.

    Thanks

  2. 42 is the ANSWER TO LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING. From the trilogy of 5 books "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"

    Excellent series of books too.

    And I have had close to that number of 5's I also once got a trophy for have the highest score at the trials, not just my class, the highest score out of everybody.

    Well, off for a Pangalactic Gargleblaster!!

  3. First off all the Pro riders are excellent.

    Second we are all human and have bad days.

    I find it irritating that if an athlete has been doing excellent all season and then has that "off" day that everybody has, all of a sudden it has to be suggested that there is alterier motives at work. That's just crap.

    In a close class such as the Pro one five could move a rider from first to fourth, or it can also happen that somebody gets a five and is shaken or frazzled a bit for the next couple sections and is just not quite up the normal confidence that these riders must have to get low scores. I guess my parting comments are that all the Pro riders are good and give their best effort, I have yet to see somebody "lose" first place. I have seen people give it their best and earn 1st, 2nd, 3rd......

  4. A friend of mine broke the steering head bolt on his gas gas. It goes between the fork clamps and through the stearing head. (I know really technical description) from what he told me it sounds similar to the symptoms you describe. His still turned fine and smooth with it broken, but made funny clanging noises.

    Hope this helps.

  5. Welcome to the sport,

    You have made a good choice to give trials a go. :D

    My bike is a 2000 sherco 2.9 as far as maintenence, the basics lube everything keep it clean and fix what breaks. I have owned it 3 or 4 years (memory not so good) I have done fork seals, a couple rear tires, various bits that I have broken, and brake pads. I am considering an entire engine rebuild but I also took it for a "swim" last summer. (Silly bike just did not want to make water combust...go figure) So I would say that maintenance cost should be much less than MX.

    Just my opinion, but from what I have seen the gassers are good bikes, took a buddies 2004 300cc for a ride and I think I am convinced that will be my next bike. When and if I get a different bike.

  6. Some what related Question:

    Would a 1986 TLR200 Reflex (full lights) qualify as able to participate in an AHRMA trials event?

    Biff would refer to this particular machine as the "Repsol Reflex"

    Hey Biff what class should I ride if said machine qualifies?

    Thanks

    Right on Biff!

    These guys are super cool and always put on a great event

    I agree!!!! It's even a blast if it rains. great group of people.

    We need more attendance at the Windsor event. But how about we keep the ADVANCED class to 3 riders or less, that's the only way I can go home with a medal. :wacko: And I can tell the missus :D what an awesome rider I am. :D

    Zipper,

    Since you are PW'ed and technically challenged(like me) as exibitited by the 125 kicking your ass, I will tell you the secret!

    One day!

    You have no clue how correct you are... Every loop we have to stop by the truck so he can call in a progress report to home base......

    I am surprised that he does not have a web cam on the bike with sat up link....

    --Biff

    The web cam is next on the list so that the missus :wacko: can see how wonderful and great of a rider I am and she will be so impressed!!! :D:D

    Always amazing how may accidents happen after you already know it is time to load up, and go home. It is during those "I think I will have one more go" rides, that this stuff so often happens. We are too tired to do it correctly, and too wired to stop riding. Learning to listen to that little voice in my head telling me I have had enough, is one of the hardest things to do. Best of luck on your recovery, and hopefully the "muffler marks" will fade away

    Yep, when I messed up my ankle I had just gotten off the cell phone with the missus, decided it was time to head home but thought one more try on those four 55 gal drums that are laying on their sides in a row. Had front tire against first drum and balancing. Give throttle bring front tire up, unload to bring bike onto drum and well half the bike made it and I promptly fell to the right and thought," I will just step down and catch myself" I found out it is a bit farther down than I thought, no riding trials for 6 weeks, I think after 4 I was back on the road bike. I found out from the Doc that tendons can be ripped almost all the way through but not quite and still be called a sprain. That just don't sound right man.

    STUMPMAGNET,

    Get better soon and don't quit riding. No more crashing would probably be acceptable though. HAHA :rolleyes:

  10. When I did mine I just used a hammer and a socket and they popped right through into the center area between the bearing spots.

    Just remember when reinstalling to line up new bearings with the out sides of each bearing area. There is a space between the bearings. At least there was on my 2000 2.9

    I think its funny that zippy was actually taking you serious.....! hahahahahaha Like a trials rider would live in Yellow knife!?! Only 1 busy very buggy month of riding and all the rest would be hibernation.

    OK I can be a bit of a Doofus!!!! But I was thinking relative like cousin or something. :rolleyes:
