  1. Hi all. I have just bought 2 sets of soft Renthall grips, 1 for the 12.5 and 1 for the 16. As a relative novice to this, what is the best way of removing the old standard grips? The main one that I am confused about is the throttle grip. Many thanks
  2. Hi all. Another question............. As I have both the 16 36v and the 12.5 (both 2010 models), can anyone suggest a battery that will increase the running time on the 12.5. Do I need to look for a larger amp hours battery? The 12.5 appears to lose power after about 1hr of on/off running, but still work (albeit slowly) the 16 on the other hand is still rocketing off. Also another quick question. Will the 600w motor from the 16 fit the 12.5 (with a change of batteries)? Sorry for these questions, but the smaller of the 2 children gets a bit frustrated at his brother roaring (albeit silently) off into the distance. Many thanks Andy
  3. Oops........... 1 out of 2 aint bad for a first attempt
  4. How Fights Start >> >> >> >>My wife sat down on the settee next to me as I was flipping channels.

I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. > >I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.

So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, "I AM NOT HAPPY!!!" > >So, I looked down at him and said, "Well, then which one are you?" > >And then the fight started..... > >***************************************** > >My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. > >When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. > >She said, 'You should have dropped your pants.

I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.' > >'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' > >And then the fight started... > >****************************************** > >I took my wife to a restaurant.

  5. Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until one day, he comes across a Harley with a 'for sale' sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years. 'Well, it's quite simple, really,' says the seller, 'whenever the Bike is outside and it's gonna rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It protects it from the rain.' And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline. That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over to meet her parents. Naturally, they take the bike there. But just before they enter the house, Sandra stops him and says, 'I have to tell you something about my family before we go in.' 'When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who Says anything during dinner has to do the dishes.' 'No problem,' he says. And in they go. Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a Huge stack of dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes. Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty dishes. They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word. As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation. So he leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches over and fondles her breasts. Still, nobody says a word. So he stands up, grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and screws her right there, in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and her mom horrified when he sits back down, but no one says a word. He looks at her mom.. 'She's got a great body,' he thinks. So he grabs the mom, bends her over the dinner table, and has his way with her every which way right there on the dinner table. Now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, but still, Total silence. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket..... Suddenly the father shouted....'Okay, I'll do the f****** dishes!!!
  6. Hi Just a quick introduction, I have posted in the Oset forum before. Dad to 4 boys. 6yrs, 4yrs, 2 yrs and 1 yr (and another one on the way) We have 2 Oset bikes, a 12.5 and a 16 pro. Been tempted with a bike of my own, but will wait for a short while and get the little ones into the fun first. Regards Andy
  7. Well, I have taken the plunge (again) and bought the 2010 levers from the 16 professional to put onto the 12.5. Decent size, even I can get 4 fingers on them. The charging appears Ok now. didn't appear to charge correctly first time, however 2nd time all appears Ok??? Still struggling to get bar ends for the 16 pro with the new bars on. I have spoken to zoom (suppliers of the bars) who have given an internal measurement of 19mm, however attempting to put on a bar end from a cycle they are all too big. Many thanks fro the help so far. Andy
  8. Thanks for the response. I haven't actually used the bikes yet, so will stick on an overnight charge tonight. I will take the 12.5 to a cycle shop today and get replacement levers and bar ends. Andy
  9. I did get the book, but can't remember it saying about the lights. The main reason I ask, is it is the first charge and I don't want to overcharge the batteries. They went on charge for about 4 hrs on green light last night, so I don't know if I need to charge them for an additional 8 hrs (to bring it up to the 12 hrs reccomed=nded in the book for the 1st few charges) Many thanks Andy
  10. Hi Being now the proud owner of a 12.5 and a 16 36V (for the boys you understand ) I am a bit confused over the charge indicators on the throttle. Having built them up and plugged the charger in, the light on the charger turned to green within 5 minutes, indicating a full charge. When you turn the bikes on, 3 lights on the throttle assembly turn red. Does this indicate full charge, or do the lights on the throttle go green? Another quick question, the grips don't appear too big for my children, but the brake levers on the 12.5 are tiny (length wise), are they just replacable with cycle parts as I would like to get similar length levers to the 16. Also the bar ends people mention about, are these the ones you fit into the end of the bars with an expanding allen key bolt? If so, what diamater are the bars, mine are both 2010 models. Many thanks Andy
  11. Hi I am looking for ACU approved stuff as I am hoping to find a local club in Devon that would run a "Conducted trial" for the "E" class rider (one of my boys is 4yrs old). Sorry, should have mentioned that in my initial post. Andy
  12. Hi Having taken the plunge and got a couple of Oset bikes for the children, I would like to get them kitted out with at least the minimum for them to practice on, rather than cycle helmet & Wellies. One takes size 8 childrens shoes and has a 52cm head circ. The other takes size 9 childrens shoes, but has a 49cm head circ. Having looked on the internet it appears that there are only motorcross style helmets and boots available. Does anyone else have any ideas if I can get trials specific stuff. Many thanks Andy
  13. Hi all Thanks for the replies. I think I will put my return on hold for a while and concentrate on the boys for a while. I have been in touch with a couple of local clubs, so hopefully something will come of that. You never know I may even be kind and fill in the paperwork for them
  14. Hi All Having recently read in the advert for Oset about 4yr olds being allowed to run on these bikes under new ACU rules, I was wondering if any clubs have taken this up. I am based in Devon and have just bought a 16 36v and a 12.5 for my 4 boys to practice on. My boys are between 6 and 1 (may be a short while before the 1yr old rides one). Also do they need ACU approved helmets or are cycle helmets Ok. Also does anyone know how clubs generally feel about them following you around between sections (once they are competant on the bikes). Sorry for all the questions, but getting back into trials after a 20ish yr lay off. Many thanks Andy
