Oh crap, he took me up on my challenge..........now how do I get to Australia really cheap?????
Sure would be fun.
OK I will make you a deal: (and I will try to remember it too) If I ever make it over to Australia I will look you up and we can go for a ride. Sound good?
Fair warning though, I don't travel much so I have no idea when I will make it over there.
I tend to think that just talent and ability will only get you so far in the WTC.......the rest of the way is achieved by not having any fear of crashing, You cannot extend or improve your skills if you are afraid of failing at a technique. I hope what I am trying to convey actually comes across because if it doesn't ........ then I will be seen as being an actually I am used to being seen as one of those,
Ok , Texas is 6 hrs behind us so it would have been approximately 1.00 a.m Sat morning for Copey when he posted :beer: :guinness: I reckon he would have had a few Pina Coladas
I just can't bring myself to believe that Copey would have a few before posting on here. When in the past has he done this to deserve such a reputation............wait what did you say? He normally has a few before posting. OH never mind then, I will sit back and enjoy the show.
Will chop the cable to fit and yes Dad, will make sure it works before I fire the old girl into life. 10 years ago was racing motocross at Ledbury and had a throttle stick open on me. Oak tree 1 - me nil. Ended up with broken collar bone, arm and leg. Painful, didn't put me off. Should really have let go of the bike butdin't want to hurt her.
Will have a go at putting some pictures on here, failing that I'll fire you an e-mail with some.
I keep telling the rest of Team WGASA when we go practice "Catch my bike, I have insurance to fix me, the bike costs money!!" (I seriously hope they know I don't WANT to get hurt)
WE HAVE 4 LADIES ON THE TEAM THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!! In past years we have only had 2? or 3?
Those guys are all good riders, but I am a bit curious if the fact of no Pat and Cody was Pat and Cody's decision or the AMA/NATC decision? I suppose it really doesn't matter too much because our team is now chosen. Maybe one of these guys after the TDN will also decide to give the world rounds a shot.
I can't see it being much of a problem but should I replace it?
In the process of replacing the front mudguard and when unscrewing one of the two bolts that hold it on, one of the screw heads snapped leaving it stuck in the thread. Not sure how I'm going to get that out yet. There seems quite a few rusty old bolts on the bike.
I'm going to replace the rear mudguard but it looks like its melted a little against the silencer.
I think the "01 also has a 1-piece brake pedal and the later one with hinged end is another good update.
My 2000 has the same brake pedal, I have a piece that bolts onto the pedal making the foot contact surface larger. But these one piece cast aluminum pedals really don't like rocks. I have 2 pedals (one for back up) and they both have been broke and welded back together, damn things are too expensive to keep buying new ones.
I did not know that the newer pedals with the hinged end would fit the older bikes. I may have to look into that.
Thanks for the help guys. It looks like I've left the 'petcock' on for the last few days.
Should have been obvious with it being so stiff and all!!
I just had to be the one with the D**K joke.
I know the location of the petcock changed a little in later years but my 2000 is set on left side of the tank and very easy to get at. Lever pointing down is on, pointing to rear tire is off, and pointing to front tire is reserve.
I thought Sherco's came from the factory like that!
That is only because Sherco is very concerned about the environment. You see if the fuel/exhaust mix recirculates and burns a second time there is less emissions produced and better fuel economy.
My bike after being fixed really sucks down the fuel now. But it runs SSSOOOO MUCH better now.
I dumped my sherco in the creak once,pulled the plug and tipped it upside down, pumped the water out of the cylinder. Cleaned the air filter with some 2-stroke fuel and finished the event. Did not touch the motor for 2 years. Was running pretty rough by then, Split the cases to fit some new Crank bearings and seals and I got a surprise. There was dirt/silt caked into the corners of the intake, the rings were blowing by so bad there were scorch marks on the cases UNDER the crank bearings. I think it was recycling the fuel.
actually I am used to being seen as one of those,
