I did a google search and clicked on trialstribulations.net and went to a "test page" saying the site was under maintenance.
but back at the google search there were sub links so I clicked on "about us" and it went to a good page, from there I clicked "home" and went to a good page.
Can you afford to move Mags? Or buy some land local to you? Your situation is pretty difficult, being able to practice 2 or 3 times a week makes a big difference to learning.
sometimes land availability has no bearing on whether or not one can practice...................pesky things called responsibilities, and wife and children and the biggest pain in the a***....work.
Hello zippy how's tricks? How's the gasser running ?Got a clip of Ian crashing a BMW 1000 RR at Missano , you remember ian dont you ? He got crushed nut's and a massive bluey on his inner thigh just below the man fruit's .Outstanding !
Ted.
Hey Ted,
Ian is the gent you told "Come ride trials, it's fun" and he promptly ended up on his backside, right? Sounds like he is keeping up traditions.
Life is good, unfortunately the MOTA season is over. One of the highlights was watching Biffsgasgas ride over a log, sit on his skidplate, roll over the other side and promptly go over the handlebars.
So I thought, "I don't want to do that, I will do a zap, get on top of log on my rear wheel, hold pressure and wheelie off the other side" What I did was: gave it more throttle than Biffsgasgas did, but not enough to get on rear wheel and I still went over the bars...........but faster!
I look forward to seeing the bike and you take first place in Advanced this weekend!!!!! (sounds like the Ossa fits you better for riding so better move up a class or two )
I had issues with my 2003 GasGas rear brake. Just lost rear brake all of a sudden. Rebuild master cylinder and all was good for a while, then lost rear brake. I ended up buying a new rear master cylinder. The bore was worn enough to cause problems.
Also try raising the front of the bike and bleed the master cylinder at the banjo bolt the attaches the rear brake line to the master cylinder. There is a spot where air can get trapped at the top of the master cylinder
Not sure if they will fit the Ossa, but they do come with longer bolts. just bolt right on. And because they go under the bar clamps they look like they should be there.
My Sherco is overheating all the sudden also, so I may not have a choice but to ride the Ossa.
Possible thermostat (thermoswitch) going bad, is the fan running? If not try attaching the wires together that go to the thermostat. basically it by passes the thermo and the fan runs constant. OK to do for an event but not a permanent fix.
Bigmark, I could help you out with that chunk of bone. I am pretty handy with a knife and 4" grinder....................
Hope the pain is not too much, but if you show up at next event and are unable to ride I am sure we could find someone willing to take your Ossa around to show it the event and keep it entertained.................
Bilks, I like that picture. Only on a gas gas is it normal wear and tear to break gears.
It would seem as though GasGas PRO kickstarting gears have some issues.
Proper starting technique will generally alleviate the problem.
Do not "stab" at the kickstart.
Take up the slack in the kicker slowly with your foot and then use a firm, swift downward kick.
Some do not recommend this: My kicker has been moved forward one spline on the shaft. This allows just a little more spin for easier starting. I am the second owner and the first owner had done this starting when new in 2003. No problems as of yet to be attributed to moving the kicker forward.
Dont forget! When checking out the sections... if the turns are mainly left handed put ya penis to left side of pants zip and vice versa! That, in conjunction with the tongue position can easily save a dab or two!
Keep an eye out... you'll see many guys making an adjustment just before they hit the section!
Mags
Only watch for the purposes of learning proper technique........
Yes!!!! The Trials Face!!!! I think a documentary is needed to fill that particular void!
Jimmie
After many adjustments the "Trials Face" will be made, followed by a nap.
Just don't get caught staring you may not be asked back... If you can't make up your mind and switch back and forth more than 3 times it is considered playing with yourself.
Of course adjusting you penis while footing is a 5 - like I mentioned before it is good to check the rules. To be truthful they don't mention your penis but you do have to keep your hands on your handlebars while footing according to the AMA anyways. I heard of a guy getting a 5 for quickly adjusting his glasses with a foot down.
Some of us have smaller equipment than others.....Observer may not even notice if it being adjusted.
zippy, thanks for letting me know, no issues if its non commercial use. it does get me thinking i should probably pop a small copyright and url on stuff just in case someone does try to cash in on something though. great site btw.... i was just thinking i might have to borrow your sig line for a video?.... To be a MotoTrials rider it takes focus and OH LOOK A SQUIRREL!
Thanks, definitely no commercial use.............could use a sponsor though, shift levers keep breaking for some reason.
Thanks about the site, I have been super busy in personal life and not had time to keep it up to date properly. Hopefully that will change soon.
Borrow the sig line, put your own spin on it, enjoy it.
I think a documentary is needed to fill that particular void!

Actually I think the question is "How long must this have taken to take apart?"
