Trusty Good Luck Penguin! My 10 yr old son gave that to me last year and I just HAD to use it! Also check out http://motatrials.com/wgasa/ Not exactly a great website, but it has it's silly moments.

I fitted my Trusty Good Luck Penguin on the handlebar pad. Then proceeded to pump the clutch lever a few times.

ummm so that would be a yes, he feels included. :rotfl: Hey SlimJim WELCOME TO TRIALS!!!

Hopefully it has made the gentleman feel included in the trials community.

1. Yes but he will have to switch over to mineral oil 2. neither, it will go BUZZZ POP POP POP BUZZZ POP POP POP

This is what I prefer to use. http://www.vmar.com/chain-guide.html In an emergency I made up a block for a buddy that was riding at the house. I have a sheet of teflon that I cut a strip out of and had to sandwich 3 pieces together to get it wide enough and then a little quick "machining" with a router, a dremel, and a drill and viola he had a rub block and we could continue to ride. I think he will be using that for quite some time........

Cope is more used to the over 100F (38C) weather. In which I would melt........ 16F (-9C) at 0700 here. A little more normal for this time of year. but I think it was just 3 weeks ago we had a day at 55F (13C). So we have quite the swing in temps around here. (at least it don't get as low as some places in Canada and Alaska BBRRRR) But still we only have an inch or 2 of snow, 2 hours drive south of me has 6 inches of snow. It is quite amazing the differences in weather, temp., etc.. the human body is capable of getting used to and functioning in. OK enough philisophical crap.

I agree, I like my motorcycle too much! It is funny how Science fiction actually starts to become reality or something close to science fiction becomes reality. It makes me wonder which happens first. Does somebody base the books and movies on some bit of technology they saw and expanded on it or does somebody read the book or see the movie and decide that "yes, in fact we could do that"??? HMMM now I will go and ponder other wonders of the universe. Read that as "I going to drink some more "

Stop letting the garage drink so much.

Just remember: first ride is free, then you are hooked and now must feed your newfound addiction. Do join the rest of us wierdos and enjoy a very unique sport.

AAAAAHHHHH SKYNET is already here!!!! Looks like a flying spider. but way cool that he used that for you guys, got some really interesting shots.

HOLY CRAP COPE!!! You guys have more snow than we do!!! AAAAHHHHH it must be a sign of an impending apocolypse.

A little more Christmas music.

That's more than I have done to mine in a few weeks.

Beat it with a very LARGE hammer..........................won't come off but you will get your aggressions out. Actually though it sounds like you are on your way to having your bike sorted out to how you want it. Good luck, hope it works easily and enjoy the new characteristics of the bike.

oooh good idea on threading nuts on ahead of time, never thought of that.

When cutting bolts down it is a bit tricky to get it straight and have the threads on the cut end perfect. So sometimes I will take the cut end of the bolt and grind just a bit of an angle on the end to smooth it out and get past the "rough" end. Yes I know if I was any good at cutting the bolt then I would not feel the need to "dress" up the end a bit.

How did chopping the frame in half help the clutch action?? Sorry, having a and feeling and in a little while I will probably

Welcome to the Wonderful Weird World of Trials!!!

I totally mis read the title of this thread. I read "Beating Off the Winter Season Blues"

Potato reference explained for those that did not understand it instantly. What do you get when you cross a penis and a potato? A Dictator Like I tell my kids: My house is not a democracy it is a dictatorship. And I am the one with the potatoes.

TO HELL WITH THE RULES!!!!! I WILL RIDE HOW I WANT TO RIDE!!! AND NOT ARGUE WITH THE OBSERVER!! (Don't matter much I guess because I can come in last place whether the rules are Stop allowed or No Stop) (personal opinion is stop should be allowed because either tecnique can be ridden if you desire, you may have to drop a class if you prefer to ride no stop)

Yes those are Fair questions about whether it will be allowed and if the other users would like to know. What is unfair is the immediate jump of comparing the owner of the site to a dictator. (As far as I know Andy has not had much to do with potatoes )

I walked past my new to me 2003 300 (as I understand first year for the 300) in the garage and gazed lovingly at her and imagined all the things I wanted to do while riding her. And like Mr. Neutron 5 minutes later I was tired and breathing heavily, went back in the house. I have ridden the bike twice as a put put around and in a 2 day event that was very rainy and I loved the way it rode. Of course going from a 2000 Sherco 2.9 to a 2003 Gas Gas 300 pro I will have some adjustment time, but I love the motor. I may gear down my sprockets a tooth or two when I need new chain and sprockets. Things seem to happen just a hair bit too fast. I need to figure out why the rear tire is loosing air way too fast. (I suspect I need a new rim strip) Change some fluids, clean air filter and I am good to go. I am considering putting on short levers, I had some on the Sherco I really liked them on that.

But those are some perty knees!
