    I might nip up for the day with the camcorder, seeing as I didn't get an entry
  4. Any budget divorce lawyers?
  5. Eh! 4 and 5 years out of a pair of boots? Am I the only bugger that 'dabs' 'em out every 12 months?
  6. With 7 outdoor titles on the trot, I honestly don't think consistency is a problem for Doug. No disrespect to Ben Hemmo but I'm sure that having Jim back as the main minder will give him and the whole team a big morale boost. "Come in No. 8, your time is up!"
  7. There's no way that I could come up with something so simple and effective I'm afraid I sneaked into Silsden HQ and watched Griffo prepping the Team Beta bikes for last years SSDT - I'll try and post a piccy later...
  8. Two options: - 1) Remove the silencer and middle pipe = 3 bolts 2) Remove the rear wheel = 1 big bolt Either of the above will give you enough room to get the airbox out and more importantly back in again. I always use option 1 as it makes fitting the rubber hose to the carb' much easier with the middle pipe out of the way. If you ride a lot of deep water I would recommend fitting a drain pipe to the air box (just in case!) Buy a valve stem (rear wheel). Drill a hole at the front and bottom of the airbox (same diameter as the threaded stem). Poke a straightened out wire coat hanger down into the airbox and out through the drilled hole. Thread the valve stem over the wire and wiggle it down until it pops out of the hole you just drilled. Fit the nut and then cut the threaded stem down to about half the original size (don't throw the offcut away). Unthread the nut to clear off any sharp burrs. Refit the nut and tighten it all up (no need to seal it but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to use some silicone) Fit a length of clear piping to the threaded stem. Thread it towards the front of the bike and down towards the back of the gear lever and let it hang in the sump guard area. Fit the threaded offcut into the end of the pipe and replace the dust cap. After each submarine expedition, simply glance at the clear pipe to see if any water has been collected. Remove the dust cap to drain and then refit
  9. I can picture you saying that line whilst eating yer pie and chips
  10. Just to let you all know that the TC 'Classified Ads' system really does work I sold my Beta to a bloke about a month ago after he saw it on TC. I then advertised my mates GasGas and that sold the other night too It's free, it only takes a few minutes to do and it's less hassle than eBay or TMX type newspaper advertising... Increase your chances of a sale by including photos, the price (very important) and a full description of the bike - Good Luck

  12. Old gear oil, put it on with a paint brush (don't do the soles)
  13. Oh sod it... "You girt big dopey ****"
  14. I think I'll have one more go at the full route first - saying that, I suppose it depends on whether I actually start a get fit campaign a few months in advance or not
  15. Hey Brendan, stop picking on Mich' - calling him nerdy isn't very nice
