Didn't matter last time, same senario left Beta and went to Montesa. Anyway, who says Dibs is about to leave Gas Gas, if Doug is heading in the Gas Gas direction, you can be sure the priority will be the enduro side of things rather than Trials.

Until such times as the man himself makes the announcement it's pure speculation. However at this time in his riding career Doug will have one main aim and that's to put as much in the bank as possible and who of any of us would deny him that right. As to who that's with, who has the best bank balance to offer him the best deal seemples!

yeah yeah been here before..... Yawn!!!

Yes i guess so but personally dbf it sounded like a bit of naming and shaming and seemed a bit unfair. I'll bet for every one disgruntled Gas Gas customer there are dozens of happy ones. The importers are making their crust from spares and after sales because they are trying to keep the cost of the bikes down, therefore they have to be doing things right! From my own perspective as a Beta rider, Lampkins are never anything less than brilliant and if on a very rare occasion, they don't happen to have what I need in stock (older bike) I have my own network of suppliers a lot of them of TC site sponsors to get what I need. I've never had to wait more than 36hrs to get the bits I need.

I don't think it's fair to criticise any particular importer because I expect they all have their good and bad times however the back up is an important part of what you go with when you buy new bikes, whether that be the importer or your local dealer

Beta.... wouldn't touch a Sherco with a bargepole and though the current crop of gassers appear pretty good I'd still go for a Beta. If they are better than last years it'll be pretty spectacular

Did both tyres recently and the same thing needed huge pressures to get them to pop on properly, let most of the pressure out but left them at fairly high pressures overnight. they've been okay since

News reporter must have a pair tucked in her bra......that pair looked perfectly balanced :rotfl:

Last one Alexz, maybe not had the results he wanted but you can't fault the effort!!

Two of James Dabill, he's had a cracking year

Couple of my own favourites from the Scottish this year

Good wood motorsports ....... We would only have the lovely Mrs Addict's word for that.

Kenny Racing..

If Tees and caps are going a begging then Team FLUBs is probably out the question. How bout Rollin Along, Justin's Rollies and well if Mark fell over he could roll along as well ( I'll pay for that, I know!!). You can't have Red Bull Racing.... how bout All Bull Racing.....could be a long night shift this ( Yes stuffed with man flu but still working....) ...... Just to be serious, yes I know...... I think Team Gaffa fits pretty well and if you get in touch with the manufacturers there may be a tasty sponsorship deal in there, play to the jingoistic side of things, spent ages trying to get Fabreeze to sponsor a smelly hockey team. Thing is with the team name you want your main sponsor to be hanging that handle on there to get maximum exposure for them and you.

Dbf, give Lampkins a call and they'll sort you out with a new master cylinder. You would be as well putting new seals and pistons in the caliper at the same time. When rebleeding be patient it's a swine to get right and get good pressure

:biggrinsanta:

Nice pics Neil

Dibs makes it 8 out of 8 in the championship class Gary MacDonald seals the Experts title ....... Nice one Gary!!

Well the new TC iPhone App works okay and the twitter feed is useful as well
