atomant Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Doug is a big guy. The Beta 4T doesn't have enough power I would suggest for WTC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw dave Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Factory bikes are factory bikes whether they come from Japan or Italy - I would say if Doug wanted to ride a Beta Rev 4 - the factory would make damn sure it had enough power.

Thanks in advance Ben" The new issue of Cycle News has an interview with him, and he said that right now he is just concentrating on the 2-stroke, that the 4-stroke is a bit heavy and lacks top-end power to be competitive at the World level. He also said that it won't be long before the bike is at the top level though, and he may have a play at it later in the year. The article also said that he is having a bit of a hard time getting used to the 2-stroke after having developed the 4-stroke for Montesa.

Andy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I am going to move my comments over to the Beta forum... No you're not! Why have two topics in two forums about exactly the same thing? Topics merged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was awesome to watch and he can only get better the longer he spends on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does it help keep the Forums tidy, but you will find you get better responses as that's where the enthusiasts for that particular brand hang out and are more likely to read it and respond." Andy, I didn't mean to try and have the same info in two different forums, I thought that the topic was Dougie and Beta related, so I posted over there. Sorry, my bad. Why???? you are getting some answers here, if you don't get answers in the Beta forum will you be moving it somewhere else??? It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do about not getting answers on this forum...I didn't start the thread I was just responding. Again, my bad.

whiz Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 why anyone would want to start a topic in any forum questioning Dougie Lampkins ability is beyond me, perhaps the fact that it is turning into a childish slanging match may go some way to explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I screwed up and thought this topic would be better served on the Beta forum, and Andy (rightfully so) put me in my place. Sorry, my bad. I'll not do that again. Why in the world though would 'jysgasgas' feel that he should call me "and idiot" for that I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Why in the world though would 'jysgasgas' feel that he should call me "and idiot" for that I don't know. He's a kid going "look at meeeeeeeeee!", that's all. You should've seen the mess my 10 year old son made when I left my PC logged into TC a while ago. Fortunately I noticed what he'd been up to and deleted all (except one) of his daft posts before anyone replied. Ben, wind your neck in lad, think before you post and you'll be fine.
