zippy Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Good Video. That automated camera man thingy seems like it will be some really neat technology. Mr. Neutron, Yep that is Goddard, the dog thingy. I must confess I do enjoy Monty Python, but I am unfamiliar with the Mr. Neutron character. Have you watch "The Young Ones"?

mr neutron Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Section one, That "Swivl" deal is pretty cool! Does it sense motion & "follow" it somehow? Your practice area is Great! (nice riding, btw!) I'd like to have something similar, and maybe some skill to be able to use it..... Sting, you nailed it, lol. There's another episode where Mr. Neutron wants to run off with a cleaning lady that's pretty funny too..... Anyway, that's what my buddies tagged me with, and my wife (has her own screen printing biz) even prints it on my riding gear for me......

frogger Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 is that a rear haul loop? Yep, I cut a bit of 1inch wide strap that I had laying in the garage and burned the ends with a lighter so they don't fray. Then cut a hand width of black hose pipe, fed the strap through, then separated the threads on each end enough for the screw to go through. Very simple and makes a HUGE difference to handling/lifting the bike on and off things or when I fail a climb or whatever. You don't even know it is there when you are riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nig1956c Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 New chain& sprockets. New rear wheel bearings. New air filter & a little ride around the back yard just to see if it's all ok. Trial tomorrow, no snow here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only down side I can see is that the rear fender will have to have all its fixings back rather than one centre fixing and two cable ties?. Should be ok though if you cut out the reinforcing ribs from the underside of the fender (I posted a pic of this in an earlier posting on this thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coop650 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Straightened the bent side stand and found the cause for my clutch drag: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Coop650, yep that looks like it could be a bit of a problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebeast Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Moved mine over a bit so that I would have room to work on my and my buddy's enduro bikes. But before I did, I managed to finally get an ownership on it, and a green plate (offroad plate)....so now I can ride it legally on county trails this season! Yay!

purplebeast Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Once I got my enduro bike back together (YZ250...been wrenching on it since last Friday), the GasGas 280 TXT Pro was looking might jealous, so I installed some Vmar bar risers, with a 10mm extra rise. Looking forward to trying that out, once this damned snow melts and Spring really starts. The new risers are red anodized and look sharp on the bike. So the GG ain't jealous any more....

coop650 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Slapped the new clutch in, works perfectly now. It's sure nice to be able to stop in gear. I had too many close calls with my tool box in the garage riding the bike back in LOL. Problem solved now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipdamite Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 My gasser has been properly jealous over the last week; I have bought a bloody TY 175 that is proving to be my downfall. Bloody twinshock trials marlarky. still, having had enough of spannering the 1976 vintage ty, I rode the gasser round the yard and felt warm inside. I love my gas gas.
