Not sure, I don't think our lass can play the banjo

For hopping right - twist your body and hang your a*** to the left of the bike as you compress the rear suspension and hit the front brake. On the rebound, turn your bars to the left and transfer your a*** to the right of the bike as the wheel starts to lift, also push the bike to the right with your left leg against the frame if you can. You should end up with the bike pointing straight ahead. PS. I know how to do it but very rarely get it right

Anyone who has ever been in a hospital or had a loved one in the hospital will enjoy this: A woman called a local hospital.

Thanks for the results and photos at the end of each day

D'oh

I've owned a Sherco and it spun its main bearings. The frame was made out of tin cans, the peg hanger snapped off the frame and the forks twisted after each drop off. That experience put me off Shercos for life as did their 4t disaster launch at the SSDT. I've not owned a GG but know plenty of folk who swear by them, they ride nice but need a bit more TLC than most bikes. Monts? Not owned one of these either but have had a good few rides on them. I don't like the front end, can't explain why but others have said the same. I spent a good few hours on a 4rt and liked the engine a lot. I've had 1 second hand Beta and 4 new ones - none have needed a stator and all have coped with my 'style' of riding (crashing). Yes the carbs leaked but this was easily sorted. Linkless rear suspension, Beta build quality, Tonka toughness and great engines...

Try buying one from Honda

So the engines used by Beta, Sherco, GasGas, Scorpa etc. are all ****e compared to the mighty Honda?

That's a matter of opinion (marshmallow sump plates?) Hmm,

Why?

What happened between sections 5 and 6! A good few riders with a big fat 'M' from section 6 onwards

I'm selling my Beta 4T, as I haven't had time to ride it lately and probably won't have for the rest of the year. Would I buy another? Yes, without a doubt.

Ah, I see. The same rumours that state every 1 in 2 Beta stators fail, all Sherco mains fall out, most Gassers fall in bits and all Scorpas are ****e Complete B*****ks then! Well, apart from the last one obviously

Wait 5 minutes! What happens if you turn up late for a trial?

This is a genuine complaint to Devon & Cornwall Police Force from an angry member of the public A true email sent to the force, lengthy but brilliantly written..... -------------- Dear Sir/Madam/Automated telephone answering service, Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Bodmin police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues in Bodmin, by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or Ouija board. As I'm writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in St Mary's Crescent, which is just off St Mary's Road in Bodmin. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game which involves kicking a football against an iron gate with the force of a meteorite. This causes an earth shattering CLANG! which rings throughout the entire building. This game is now in its third week and as I am unsure how the scoring system works, I have no idea if it will end any time soon. The remaining five failed-abortions are happily rummaging through several bags of rubbish and items of furniture that someone has so thoughtfully dumped beside the wheelie bins. One of them has found a saw and is setting about a discarded chair like a beaver on ecstasy pills. I fear that it's only a matter of time before they turn their limited attention to the caravan gas bottle that is lying on its side between the two bins. If they could be relied on to only blow their own arms and legs off then I would happily leave them to it. I would even go so far as to lend them the matches. Unfortunately they are far more likely to blow up half the street with them and I've just finished decorating the kitchen. What I suggest is this - after replying to this e-mail with worthless assurances that the matter is being looked into and will be dealt with, why not leave it until the one night of the year (probably bath night) when there are no mutants around then drive up the street in a Panda car before doing a three point turn and disappearing again. This will of course serve no other purpose than to remind us what policemen actually look like. I trust that when I take a claw hammer to the skull of one of these throwbacks you'll do me the same courtesy of giving me a four month head start before coming to arrest me. I remain your obedient servant ??????? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr ??????, I have read your e-mail and understand your frustration at the problems caused by youths playing in the area and the problems you have encountered in trying to contact the police. As the Community Beat Officer for your street I would like to extend an offer of discussing the matter fully with you. Should you wish to discuss the matter, please provide contact details (address / telephone number) and when may be suitable. Regards PC ??????? Community Beat Officer --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear PC ??????? First of all I would like to thank you for the speedy response to my original e-mail. 16 hours and 38 minutes must be a personal record for Bodmin Police Station, and rest assured that I will forward these details to Norris McWhirter for inclusion in his next Guinness book of Records. Secondly I was delighted to hear that our street has its own Community Beat Officer. May I be the first to congratulate you on your covert skills? In the five or so years I have lived in St Mary's Crescent, I have never seen you. Do you hide up a tree or have you gone deep undercover and infiltrated the gang itself? Are you the one with the acne and the moustache on his forehead or the one with a chin like a wash hand basin? It's surely only a matter of time before you are head-hunted by MI5 to look for Osama. Whilst I realise that there may be far more serious crimes taking place in Bodmin, such as smoking in a public place or being Christian without due care and attention, is it too much to ask for a policeman to explain (using words of no more than two syllables at a time) to these twats that they might want to play their strange football game elsewhere. The pitch on Fairpark Road, or the one at Priory Park are both within spitting distance, as is the bottom of the Par Dock, the latter being the preferred option especially if the tide is in. Should you wish to discuss these matters further you should feel free to contact me on <???????>. If after 25 minutes I have still failed to answer, I'll buy you a large one in the Cat and Fiddle Pub. Regards ????????? P.S If you think that this is sarcasm, think yourself lucky that you don't work for the sewerage department with whom I am also in contact !!!

Don't worry about damaging them but try to knock them out evenly. Tap the new ones in with a hammer but use the old one in between to act as a buffer...

Trying to increase your odds of a shag?

Very funny, I'm hardly ever on TC these days - I saw you lurking with nobody to talk to and felt sorry for you

Live Chat has been missing for quite a while now, do you wish it were back or not?

Ditto

I think Perce and Dennis were with him when it happened, I was told about it in the bar that night and I remember thinking "Where can I buy some of this magical liquid metal?" I met up with Kary and Dennis again when visiting Ishyville a few years back, all good lads

No time to ride this year so might as well sell it all off and buy another bike when I've a bit more time...

What's the point in buying something that is 99% dedicated to MX?

A reminder of his SSDT ride?
