I had a 2000 Sherco that had problems with the swing arm spindle nut periodically loosening up. I used a couple drops of lock tite BLUE to help hold it in place. Did not use red, I still wanted to be able to take it back off.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a section about Belgium:
"Belgium.
Less offensive words have been created in the many languages of the galaxy, such as joojooflop, swut and Holy Zarquon's Singing Fish.
The reason the Earth has been shunned for so long is also due to a language problem. On Earth, Belgium refers to a small country. Throughout the rest of the galaxy, Belgium is the most unspeakably rude word there is. "
Read more on the BBC site that I "lifted" the quote from.
Well we didn't have the 100+ we were hoping but 71 on the first day and 65 on the second wasn't too bad. We all seemed to have fun and the weather was great! Saturday night we had a alch.... ummm ice tea fueled hill climb which showed me that i need to loose a few pounds. WGASA jethro made it look easy with his raga then even easier with my ty175. The Howard clan got their hondamod up there and zippy's trials quad made it about 10 feet before it almost killed the crowd.
Thanks for a great weekend all who helped! We had a blast.

Side note: Zippy was not piloting said trials quad at the time. Team WGASA member Snickers was the "adventurous soul" for that. Zippy took the role of inebriated observer
I just wait for all the video buffs to complain that all you can hear is the electric motor whine, and then say that even Dubstep music would be an improvement.
I believe they are low on members, also attendance to the events have been dropping off. Which is something I don't understand. The events are always fun, they do a good job with the property they have available. The new Wardsville property was AWESOME, the property owner is a great guy, would hang around the campfire with us, had a power washer set up for us to use....
and another thing to consider. The Windsor group crosses the border multiple times to attend the other MOTA events. It is only polite if the rest of MOTA crosses the border 2 times/ (once for 2 day event) per year and support the Windsor club.
Unfortunately the Windsor Motorcycle Club will not be hosting an event this season. We all hope that the club is able to return next year. I have always had a good time at the past events. Friendly people, challenging sections, just a good day out.
On edit: (so if you wish to see me ride around showing off my pasty, hairy, flabby legs with my fashionable and protective riding shorts, you will need to travel to Michigan or Indiana. I know that is one heck of a motivator isn't it?)
Not sure how to get the date of manufacture from the VIN, but http://gasgasmuseum.com/ may give you a good idea of what year it is by looking at the pictures. Just click on a year and take a look.
I completely avoid any of the problems associated with pant legs by wearing shorts. They are comfortable, roomy, offer full range of motion, plenty of ventilation on those really warm days and really show off my hairy, pasty, flabby legs that drive the ladies wild.
Make the videos for your own satisfaction. If you like the music than put it in there. If I don't like the music I simply watch with the volume off. Good videos/camera angles etc..
All the "older"/"established" riders please remember that these young gentlemen are just that, young. This statement is not meant for anyone to not critique the video. Especially since the young men actually ask to have the video critiqued. But the reason I say remember they are young is because these videos are not necessarily meant for the "older/established" audieance, they will show these videos to their friends etc.... and that music may be what gets others their age to keep watching the video. and the more youngsters that watch the better the chance they will want to ride.
What did I do to my GG today? Topped up the tank, dressed up and rode it in ice and snow in the county forest!
It was just too nice out. So I rode it out to 2nd line and back, following the dirt road in the Drury 1 county forest trackt, and the groomed 2-track snowmobile trails. Slippery as ****! But never dumped it. Put a foot down more times than I can count, but man, that's a good way to learn to "feel" your bike, when you have no front or rear wheel traction on ice and slushy snow! I headcam'ed the whole trip....not sure I'll post it though.....
Still and all...it was a great to be on two wheels!
Maybe Spring is finally springing in my neck of the woods.....
Your Bio says Canada...........sorry to say sir, but Spring does not arrive in that particular part of the world.
I found that the side by side event was well received and was fun to do if you have the space. It is great if you can do it as part of another event... maybe even get paid to do it . It certainly helps build interest in the sport and can be a lot of fun. If it isn't a timed event (race) it can typically be covered under the WTC insurance policy like any other trials event... but the riders should still have basic liability insurance coverage on their bikes (which not all riders bother with) as you are typically closer to the public than you are in the woods.

You really got to know your bike that evening.
