Poll For Riding Conditions.

Hi, I've got a Fantic Pro 300 that gradually lost spark, until it would no longer run. The problem appears to be the flywheel, as the magnets have virtually no 'pull' at all. I give up on finding another flywheel, and now wonder if I can 'fix' the magnets. Anyone have any idea if this is possible, and if so, how I could go about it? Any and all advice appreciated!

What are your prefered Sprocket Variations and why?

Hi guys, can anyone help me, i was at a trial 2day and my back wheel bearings blew on me and so did 5 spokes, how much will this cost to restore back to normal REV`er :madsanta:

Should Shaun Morris elect to ride in the W/C next year (I think he's obliged to) any predictions where he might end the season considering Tadeusz Unpronouncable rode the last round and finished 13th-ish?

Just got back from a week in Disneyland with the wife and kids, had a great time well worth it. This is a picture from the balcony of our room, a world class section to look at all week, the river raft ride down the section was quite the ride too.

We now have almost two hundred forum users registered. Why so few posts? Are you all scared to speak up in a quiet room. This site is already far better than another one I won't name with up to date news and a fresh new feel but the forums are just too quiet. Even the young lads Wonder bra and reverance aren't saying much and that's kind of worrying though I'm afraid to admit it. Come folks let get this thing moving. Post stuff, ask questions anything.

Okay, I have a question. What does GasGas mean or where does it come from?

Balance points of TXT vs PRO vs BETA vs others I had a chance to ride an '03 BETA. Can't believe how easy (yes, easy!) it was to do nose wheelies and swing the back end around. I have an '00 Gasser TXT and I practice nosies all the time and am still not that good at it. But I can do them on the Beta. The front/back balance point is way different. The Beta's rear wheel comes up easily and yet feels VERY stable. Its easy to "carry" the rear tire longer which makes it very flickable. In contrast, my 321TXT feels as though I must carry the rear wheel higher to do the same thing. It just doesn't have the stable feel of the Beta during a nosie. (I imagine peg locati…

What's the useful life expectancy of premix if stored in a properly sealed metal container (jerrycan for instance)? I have 8 litres of premix sat in my garage and considering I only use around 2-3 litres each time I ride, it expect that it'll be sat there for at least a couple of weeks. Will it still be OK to put in my bike?

I've desided it would be a good idea to write a letter to The Sun newpaper, read by the public and if interesting enough we can get it printed...all over the UK. A good way to persuade people? However we cannot just write in complaining about the usual stuff like the amount of riders slimming and things like that, we need to state that the BBC are tight fisted people and refuse to take any notice on what is such an interesting and skillful sport. Although if we are going to do this I need some ideas from you guys, list below for me some things you can write about, and is it worth doing this letter? Many Thanks, HRC

Archives of British news is available from:- http://www.itnarchive.com/ or http://www.britishpathe.com/index.cfm Use the Pathe site for stills but with ITN site you can view the films as well. All I did was register & then I typed in 'Scott Trial' Anyone with an interest in modern history will get lost in here for weeks, for example the scope of subjects available for the WW2 nut is amazing.

Vicx, was that you riding a Fantic at Low North on Sunday? If I'd realised I'd have said hello... What's the story with the tasty looking bike?

While we are sort of on the subject. How do you make something that came from the factory Aluminum (as in a honda engine or hubs ) look like new?
