  1. And the part which is exposed is exactly the part of skin where the exhaust hits your leg, I got prove of that. Thought a bike was cool, but it was already started for some minutes before, and I pushed it with my leg. Ouch.

     

    Yep, I wear a large metal knee brace on the leg that is on the exhaust side.................................................so I have a few burns on the other leg from exhaust though.

    Like I said "I am not quite right in the head"

  2. Sorry for being stupid and thank you for your reply, but what is WGASA???

     

    Not stupid, you just lack information.  But you have the spirit of WGASA.

    Sounds like you are enjoying that new bike quite a bit.  Keep having fun.

     

    Pretty sure I've seen the meaning of WGASA as Who Gives A S--- Anyway, sounds like they take things really seriously   :hyper:

     

    tony27 you have the definition perfect.  The whole WGASA spirit is based on having fun.  When you go riding did you have fun?  Did you place in the top three.......doesn't matter because Who Gives A S--- Anyways.

     

     

     

     

     

    If you dont understand wgasa none of us do its an american thing (see hes from michigan)

     

    Yea us Americans are a fun lot.

  3. Shorts.........that's the solution.

    comfortable, flexible, cool.

    I have a pair of camo cargo shorts and a pair of MX pants that the legs zip off to become shorts.

    Trials boots cover the shins so there is just a bit of skin exposed between top of boots and the shorts.

    It also helps that I wear a knee brace for arthritis on the exhaust side.

     

    It works for me, not for everybody.   But I am not quite right in the head.

  4. I have only used one years ago while racing in grass track on my scrambler, home made with a bit of string attached to a small piece of plastic cut from the bottom of an early coke bottle in between a set of points riveted onto a jubilee clip.   

     

    When I was a youngen riding a TY80 doing shows and parades with my Dad and Brother we had the same type of set up.  This would kill the engine if we fell off, lessening the chance of a spectator being hit.  Dad also added an Emergency brake to his Reflex, not exactly sure how it work but there was an electric motor that would pull the rear drum brake arm engaging the rear brake.  I think he had a second set of points on the handlebars that would engage if he was separated from the bike.

     

    When riding I never even notice having that bit of string on my wrist.  (Left side)

     

     

    (Side note: We called ourselves Team Thud...........that sound that is made when the human body contacts the ground after falling off the bike)

  5.  

     

    Additionally GGs potential market share will have fallen due to introduction of Vertigo and TRS, which are newer and therefore presumably better designs.

     

     

     

     

     that newer and therefore better design would explain why the majority of the buying public is so extremely hesitant to purchase the first 2 years production of a new bike.     :unsure:

  6. Proper bikes and proper no stop riding, makes you want a pre 65 / twin shock bike.

     

     

    Not quite proper no stop riding...........they were all covering the clutch.  :D

     

    Back when I was a youngen (late 70's early 80's) a surly older gentleman told me "get your fingers off that clutch, once you put it in gear you don't touch the clutch.  You just use the throttle"

     

     

    aaahh the good old days  :hyper:

  7. Yea I know trimsaram, used to live in Llanelli which obviously isn't far away.

    I sold the sherco for 1000, would have put it up for a bit more but as I sold it to my father in law I had to knock a few quid off lol

    .Did he still not like the price?

    Looks like he decided not to buy the fuel cap to save some more money
