the addict Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I hate carrying loads of stuff around with me but if you aint got it you will bust it, when you walk the section drop the bum bag off at the end cards and pick it up on the way through. Front tube Levers Dog turds etc Gear lever Rear brake lever Clutch/front brake lever Throttle cable Throttle cap and wheel (Thanks Gizza5 for that one) Spare set of gloves Fuel bottle Smallest tools you can find to take the carb off/air box,rear/front wheel,levers,throttle,gear lever etc Couple of dry rags Spare plug Plug spanner Fan wire connector encase the switch fails Front and rear pads Split links Pliers Chain tensioner,spring A handful of the most common bolts/nuts on the bike encase you rattle one out Maybe over the top but should get you out of most problems if you get any at all, if your carrying anything sharp like the pliers and especially the dog turd tool, stick the end in a cork firmly and tape it up. If you can make sure you Edited July 17, 2007 by The Addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Mr Pumpkin, Very important to unhitch the trailer with the spares in it before you ride a section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Thats a ******* cracking reply Ralph I asked for that I dont carry all that but most of it, erm well you do actually as I stuff it in your ruck sack whilst your signing on just got drinks and Mars Bars in my bag. If you ride like me, you need spares Edited July 17, 2007 by The Addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Throttle cap and wheel (Thanks Gizza5 for that one) SSDT a few years ago ''Johny Foreigner'' on a Mont 315 fell off on Saturday with only a few sections to go lifted the bike out of the water and the cap and wheel had popped off his throttle Paniced and searched for a few minutes then offered him my spare wheel and cap..................and he finished the event!!! You can ride with most things wrong or missing from your bike, flat tyres, no brakes, no clutch..........but its a hell of a job riding your bike operating the throttle cable with your teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad, put ya trunks on ya check list just in case we can get in the HOT TUB with Mr Webster, going to ask Tesco's to deliver to the van. Put a sign on the van PLEASE RING THE BELL and bet the driver will look for it. And every one should put a Tampax in ya bum bag because you can SWIM, RUN, do GYMNASTICS, HORSE HIDE and RIDE BIKES with them and just in case you fill ya air box up in a stream stick it in, soke the water up in seconds but the bike might be a bit tempramental after??

boydw Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 ah ha my fellow riders, our team has expanded this year, so theres no room in the tub, i'm afraid. Although ive heard that Ashy and his nr 1 team have ordered 2 tubs this year. There may the possibility of some extra entertainment in the "James Lamkin Titty Bar" late on saturday night. Although this has yet to be confirmed - bring your tenners though lads!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02-apr Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I have known people fall off and lose the "cup" that fits between the adjuster and piston on the brake/clutch. Could be a bit awkward doing 2 1/2 days without a front brake. Might be worth carrying one of those? I must now go and buy one as it's sure to happen to me next time out now that I've mentioned it.

perce Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 You've all forgotten the essential lawn mower lads. The first occupants of the start filed have arrived today & have been spotted mowing their plot in anticipation of their hot tubs arriving.

the addict Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Good luck to everyone riding (especially our lot) - helpers/club and observers, hope you all have a great time and the weather doesnt spoil things too much. Ralphs really excited as ever and has drawn out 600 quid in tenners Boyd for the Titty Bar Hope to make it next year but sometimes there is stuff even more important than trials, only sometimes though Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
