    I'm lucky!

    Good point, but how does he know who the experienced riders are if he's never been, and all he'd see is a number or the back of them ?
  2. I'm well aware it's not for "public" use on a trials bike or any other type of motorised vehicle, just wondering if anyone has "done it" on their trials bike
  3. Just as a matter of interest, has anyone ridden up the Devils Staircase from the road side ?

    Creeking sussies.

    All good, I went in to it all a bit blind, but having done it for the first time, I have no fears about doing it again, and now I know my way round the bike hopefully manage it in double quick time.

    Creeking sussies.

    Getting into the top bolt isn't the easiest. off with the tank for me and rear wheel, tho a lot of extra stuff to do, made getting into it all much easier.

    Creeking sussies.

    Seems to be coming from the bottom part ! However, can't get the bolt out from the bottom, it's solid, am I missing something in the removal of the bolt ?? Half way thru it now Willie for my own piece of mind, but as stated, it's coming from the bottom of the shock.

    Creeking sussies.

    Just got myself a 2010 290, however seems the rear sussies are creeking a bit, what requiers doing to solve this and or what is causing this ?
  10. Finally got it all stripped and cleaned today after a couple of attempts, fired up nicely after that.
  11. Am I missing something here, retiring at 18 !!!!!!!!!!!
  12. Ah bugger Thanks for your help
  13. Nope. The carb was overflowing this morning when I started it up, so gave if a few taps, which seemed to stop the overflow, can this be connected to my issue ?
  14. Getting a spark. Disconnected the kill switch, still nothing.
  15. Had the bike out today, ran it too where we were playing, say 250 yards, set it down to sort out some wee sections, went back, hasn't started since ??? Got home, changed the plug, still not starting Any ideas folks ?
  16. I've ridden both, only a couple of sections mind, so can't really give a full report, but if I had the money, I'd plump for the 2011. I believe the early 2010 had tank issues and breather hose problems, but that's about as much as I can add on that I'm afraid

  18. Take this bike for example, sure looks clean and tidy, but two grand for a 4 year old bike http://www.trialscentral.com/classifieds/detail.php?siteid=9107
  19. I'm guessing you mean Lagnaha and Kinlochleven, both of which are no more than ten miles apart, the pipeline being Kinlochleven http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=56.713781,-4.958042&spn=0.00348,0.01545&z=17 http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=56.657696,-5.25798&spn=0.003485,0.01545&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=56.657696,-5.25798&panoid=-uDAj7781K1feC7kuaoS-w&cbp=12,131.46,,0,6.63 Road bridge...... http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=56.688321,-5.18237&spn=0.027858,0.123596&z=14&layer=c&cbll=56.688321,-5.18237&panoid=Q1fl1egVk59E2nbYfjetMA&cbp=12,0,,0,5 http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll=56.687834,-5.183469&spn=0.000871,0.003862&z=19&layer=c&cbll=56.687834,-5.183469&panoid=VGPi6sjIbh3NcL-mxvgH4Q&cbp=12,44.79,,0,-2.5
  20. Maybees aye, maybees no, but this topic isn't just about me buying a second hand bike, I've seen plenty other bikes coming back up again for sale.
  21. Maybe I should clarify, the two I have offered on were both at good prices they were looking for, what I have offered wasn't much less, now given they have been trying to sell for a while, why wouldn't they sell them, well one in particular was, as I said, just
  22. Your box is full ? Fair point, wasn't my intention in regards the topic.
  23. How come those two in particular I have made offers on haven't been sold then, despite them being advertised a few times each ?
  24. I have made offers on two bikes in the last couple of weeks, not insulting offers IMO, one in fact was only
