  1. Just what does the mod kit fix?

    If I remember correctly :lol: It was a "Cold Start Kit" For the 1986 and 1987 TLR200 Reflex that was imported to the USA that was a "Dual Sport" model of the TLR 200. It was supposed to make it less cranky to start.

  2. ;) Holy sheeet..that bit where he kneels at the top then takes both hands off to work the karabiner :rotfl: ...I'm not good with heights;5/6 rungs up that ladder and I'm locked on :lol:

    This is very topical for me as I've got a mate (young and daft) who's currently into free-climbing buildings ,I think it'll all end in tears.

    I dunno whether to show him this vid ...or not.. (to act as a deterrent).

    It may give him an idea for a career change. :D

  3. Hopefully this is the same vid? Mad, mad, totally mad.......

    Long way to change a light bulb eh?

    GJ :lol:

    I want to see how they climb down, As mad as this next statement may sound think about it, Climbing up is the easy part. On the way down it is harder at those "Transition points" from ladder to ladder and platform to ladder.

    Truth be told I was nervous sitting in my little chair watching it, ain't no way in hell my fat ass is climbing that.

  4. That would make it very tough to compete against the other teams that have 4 members.

    How many ladies did we have this year? Wasn't there a couple years we only had 2 competing? That must have been a huge amount of pressure on them then.

  5. I was in no way trying to infer that our team was not talented enough to compete or that the class they are competing in is easy. Was merely curious as to why they changed classes. I was very pleased to see that our team was in the top class last year and I thought they did well, so was just curious why they changed.

    As for the ladies they can ride quite well in their own right. I have no problem admitting that they all can ride better than I. :lol:

  6. I just need time to attend the nationals and the money necessary to enter, travel, etc......

    Anybody want to sponsor a late 30's balding, fat, mediocre trials rider??

    I am at least good for comic relief.

  7. yes they got quite a few dabs. I had 1 5 but that was because i was on a hill and a rock let loose and my bike and myself slid back a few feet. I think i got a total of 15 cleans. Nothing was dangerous but it was challenging for me. I think i ended up with a 54 total

    Sounds like a good start for some trials riding fun.

    Like Copey says Practice, Practice, Practice. but on the bright side Trials Practice is also FUN!!!!!

  8. If I remember correctly for the head light to function properly it needs a good battery. Also I do know that the blinkers act really odd with a bad battery hooked up.

    When I had mine street legal top speed was 50 mph unless I was going down hill with the wind pushing me then I think I got up to 52mph :D

    Also if you will be practicing trials with it you may want a proper skid plate instead of that piece of tin that comes stock. I am planning on getting the one from B&J for mine.

  9. Be VERY careful using petrol it is really bad to breath in or have in contact with your skin.

    I would have to strongly disagree: All women LOVE the Au De 2 stroke

    Also a good vintage of petrol (dependent on the week it was refined) will give you the MOST glorious happy feelings if inhaled. :D

    Alright I am just being a smart B)

    Yes, do be careful with the petrol.

  10. I use an aerosol oil (forget brand at the moment) I coat the inside of the filter evenly with a thin layer and then coat the outside of it a bit also. The inside is where air starts to go through the filter and the majority of the dirt would be caught there, any that passes should be caught in the oil that I put on the outside. I also spray a thick coat of oil around the underside of the "top" where it sits on top of the air box, thus creating a seal so the air must pass through the inside of the filter into the air box.

    I use petrol to clean my air filter but I also do not recommend this. The petrol has an ability to destroy the glue holding the filter together and possibly the filter material itself. I have been told that dishwashing soap and water works well to clean them. I believe it is recommended to clean and oil the filter after every outing. (sure that's gonna happen, I just do it when I remember it's dirty)

    The "cheap" filter is probably a Twin air, if it is that is a good quality filter. (In my opinion)

    Hope this all helps.

    Always remember an engine that breaths well will run great! and keep the dirt out!!
