Just recieved the kick starter arm stop today it is on and the kickstart is no longer bashing the heck out of the rear brake pedal. Now I need to redo the brake pedal cus it is cracking from all the bending back and forth. Oh well, still gotta say Honda has great parts dept.
I got my AMA magazine and there is only a couple of paragraphs about the Endurocross in it, and that was dedicated entirely to the last lap of the main and the hail mary pass. Not one word about Nick and the Sherco trials bike. I am a bit dissappointed in the coverage of the event in the AMA mag and the AMA coverage of trials in general.
Sorry if I hijacked the thread.
I also read Brians post and instantly was upset that I missed the airing of it. I had it written down and kept looking and telling myself it is on that particular day and I still missed it.
So if someone were to ride the AHRMA trials and the 2-day, then it would be a three day trialsfest. That sounds great I do wish I could go. OK enough whining from me.
A non working Mum who used the car to take the kids to school paid GBP86 in one month.
Should pay a damned sight more than that, IMO. In my day, we walked.
In my best aged old man voice,
"When I was a boy I walked to school barefoot, knee deep in snow, uphill both ways. And I liked it that way built character."
On a more serious note:
I agree that the tracking device is a bad Idea. I don't even like the Onstar service or GPS systems in cars because the potential is there to track me and have all the info about my driving and whereabouts. Call me paranoid if you wish.
Sure was luckily it wasn`t mine Although on the same day I had damages too about the same value
If I remember correctly that was R2W's shock and you had a disagreement between your front wheel and a rather stubborn rock step. But that would be a different thread maybe "Which rim is better: Round or Oval?"
OK so the time it takes is the same, Different way of thinking: with the bottom mounting point being lower with links than without does that mean that the shock does not get the same "squish" for the same distance traveled by the rear wheel? I guess I am trying to understand the benefits of links or no links on the rear suspension. Maybe that should have been my original question.
I got to thinking the other day, one of those rare occurrences, about the rear suspension. My question is this: If the shock is mounted direct to the swing arm (Scorpa, Beta) is the response faster? This is my line of logic: The links or dogbones need to move through its own pivot arc before compressing the shock resulting in "squish" of S amount. The direct mount begins "squish" immediately resulting in "squish" of S + a little more. Therefore the S + a little more will have more stored energy in less time.
Or I am completely daft. (which is a real possibility)
Don't worry about the girth. I am a bit round and have a blast. I have also seen many large guys (read this as muscular or round) competing that are extremely good riders. Besides the more rider there is the better the traction. HAHAHA If you ride often enough you will more than likely shed a little of the girth anyways. Get back into it and have a great time.
I have an '86 tlr200 Reflex. I am in the US. I am currently using it as my commuter bike to work when the temp is 40 F or above. I didn't check the tightness of bolts and things and well let's just say they worked a little loose. I spent $50 for 2 engine mounting bolts, a spacer for upper engine mount, kickstarter arm stop, float, and a few nuts. I was actually quite surprised that it was this cheap. I am still waiting for the kickstarter arm stop it is on back order. This bike is basically all original or at least oem replacement parts. I think the tires might be original. Back in november I let Biffsgasgas use it in a trial, we just removed the rearview mirrors and left all the lights on it. He had a great time on it. I gotta hand it to Honda corporation, this is a 20 year old machine and I have yet to have problems getting parts for it, that's customer service in my book.
I saw the word Jig and thought somebody was dancing.
on edit: I use a couple of 2x4 boards one pushing down on the bead and the other as a lever pushing on the first 2x4 with one end wedged under another short 2x4 attached to my work bench.
Those that can do those "stunts and tricks" with all manner of street bikes are very talented and skilled. I admire their abilties and control of the machines.
I just wish that all the ones that seem to get all the publicity were smart enough not to do these things in areas where innocent bystanders or drivers were not put in unnecessary risk. Very irresposible to be doing these things on public roadways and sidewalks within mere feet or inches of unsuspecting people. No matter how good you are there will eventually be that one time that something goes wrong and hopefull its not some little kid that gets a facefull of sportster or sport bike.
Just the opinion of an over protective fuddy duddy father. But again dang those guys got some control of those machines.
