Did you get my response Steveo? --Biff If not then email me biffscell@yahoo.com

--Biff

Yeah just a couple of you tube videos and the pictures that Alan just posted a link to. Not much else. Fingers crossed boys our 15 mins is not up yet! --Biff

Will do! --Biff

I think your both right. The swm and aprillia both had rotary valves. --Biff

I stumbled on this website so I thought i would share. Rotary valves I find it wierd that they didnt include any bombardier designs. --Biff

Steveo, I work for said company in Dearborn as a dealer relations technical expert. Let me know what you need. Send me a pm with the details. --Biff

My ex wife thought i would quit trials and stop raceing cars become 190 lbs of rippleing mussel..... hahahahahaha after 7 years we got married. 6 months later i was still the same guy. She fliped a bit and ran off. I wouldnt have done anything different. I will alwasy be Biff. My present girlfriend has a life of her own and really digs trials. She hates to watch. She wants to ride and loves to check. --Biff

I use www.photobucket.com It free and easy to setup. Then use the button at the top of your post "Insert Image" and post the direct link from your photo bucket there. When your a site supporter (I highly recommend joining this crowd) you can only post about 1 pic at a time depending on size. Site support opens up a whole world of extra goodies. Worth every penny. --Biff

Yep thats what i saw too. I was just wondering cost. I will email him and find out what they ask for one. --Biff

Ok so I am ventureing into a world of desicration. My father has 3 full greeves. 2 Anglian's which we both ride in AHRMA trials. Beautiful bikes and won't be touched. 1 challenger which is a good runner. Then we have bike X. Just a frame with earls forks, 19" rear and 21" front. We both think that it is a challenger frame. Dad has had this think sitting in the trophy room looking haggered for a while. A different seat was put on at one time and bungs were welded to the frame. We got to talking and he asked what i wanted to christmas. I suggested that frame. He thinks that i am nuts but knew that i was his son so i think he is agreeing. I have a donar honda tl 125. I want to have that bored out to 150cc and gone over then install it in this frame. (DON'T SHOOT!) Basically turn this into a Hondeeves or a Gronda... haven't decided on a name yet. Here is my question. I am seriously pondering purchaseing a reproduction greeves tank from england. Has anybody bought one and does anybody know how many pounds one cost? I pick up the bike on christmas and strip it down by the end of january. I hope to make this an AHRMA 1 line bike. Its a dream at this point but with a lot of work i think it will become a reality. I plan on keeping it an earls fork. Silly? Yes... Hellafun? Heck yea! --Biff

Quick update.... She was not that crazy about me getting a ring showing my devotion to trials indicating that we were married...... Like a woman! hmmmmm step back and punt.... Well i have a couple of years to think about it. --Biff

I was married at one point. I had the coolest wedding ring. I knew that my present girlfriend and probably future wife would never go for me wearing that ring for our wedding. I stumbled upon my replacement. I am going to see if he can make me a special trials tire ring. Frickin sweettttttt..... My next wedding ring. I have been holding on to the old one for no good reason. Now I need to hawk it. --Biff

I have used product like this with a heat gun. Take your time and starting in the middle and work your way out. Pink vinyl sheet The plotter cutters use this to make decals for trucks cars signs ect... In trials under hard use it will last about a season before it wants to be replaced. I get in a funk and change the way my bike looks about once a month. Right now its getting some thick vinyl carbon looking stuff. Here are some various phases. When i got it I went all carbon but it lasted from may till about september Then I decided to go with a wood theme but contact paper is not very trials friendly. Now i am using some really thick stuff from factory effex and going back to carbon. I will post pictures when i am done. Last winter we did zippy's sherco in skulls. Very trick. I want to find some white and green plaid contact paper. I have painted in the past and it just ends up flakeing off. --Biff

Candor! Heck yeah I am familiar. They actually live in Cazenovia to the east of syracuse. I grew up in district 4 trials with raymon peters and started riding in about 86. Did you come up to the Ahrma national this year in Harford? It was a good time.... I dated a girl in Binghamton and she went to Cornell so we used to go through Candor all the time on the way through. --Biff

Thats him! He usually puts a boat on the roof racks but when he does not want to use a boat he uses this wierd basement door looking ply wood thing. (shakeing head) My mom is Joan and usually takes the cards at what ever trials she goes to. Here is his pic down near you guys in Dickson. They usually bring their small brown dog rusty too. http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/slideshow...a5f9&idx=23 --Biff

Syracuse NY but since he has retired many moon ago he has been driving around the US riding AHRMA events. He goes to Ginders every year and just this year he joined ITSA. He thinks that he wants to move down there and I suggest that he does. --Biff

Couldn't find it Alan! Dad has been pushing me to find it also. He is itching to see his face on the internet. If I find it I will post it. --Biff

Hey Jordan, Did your throttle ever stick again durring the last TI event? Man I thought you were going to launch it into the creek! Glad to see you out and about with Ryan. Keep on the pegs. --Biff

Hey Brian, I think my dad (John Knapp) got a universal wire kit from either motion pro or works connection for his Greeves. I will PM you his email address. I know that Ed Logan has been making a lot of replacement cables for his Cub but i have been with him when he has broken a cable or two. --Biff

I drew that off of memory from 4 years ago but it is generically accurate. I am thinking that i might have had 4 wires on my rectifier. The diode acts as a one way check valve for the ac voltage. Lets the positive voltage pass but blocks the negative voltage from getting to the fan. The fan uses dc volts the stator provides ac voltage. I used a 25 volt capictor so that it could take the spike. I believe that when i disected my old rectifier it was a 16 volt capictor which may have been my root cause for the failure. It went poof in other words and the capictor split from heat. --Biff

Yes it is the black box below the radiator cap. Here is an electrical diagram of how it works. I had a txt 280 that went after a while. I later found a voltage spike from the stator with an ossciliscope. I made a higher amperage one myself and it worked fine. I also found water in the flywheel stator assembly as my root cause to my spike. --Biff

Oops your right... --Biff

CityTrails is from the Chicago area and Phil is the older Smage brother in Wisconson. Craig bring Noel and the bunch and come on down for some trials or enduro cross. Let us know ahead of time. Our expert class is close to a TI champ class but we can make build it bigger for Pat and Phil if need be. MOTA trials are generally very very tight and technical with very few huge obsticals in comparison. Keith, I am down for some enduro cross! I have riden several hare scrambles and I think that enduro cross would be a great idea! I may even head on down to columbus for the series. --Biff

BTW fuel cells are here but not available to purchase yet. Honda is feeling out the field. Here is some more info. http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/review...x-clarity_N.htm --Biff
