Tong is a great place, run well by the owners, thousands have been to tong with no problems,bear in mind it seems the latest most expensive bikes are targeted.
mine was taken the day after riding at tong, back in the
days when i used a bike rack
jsp
but if the thieves are taking part at the trial/ spectating etc. bike rack, trailer, van,horse box, it doesnt matter , when they watch it loaded up they know what to follow.
its a theory , been going on for a few years now, if you look through the stolen bike forum tong creeps up all to often. I think bikes are stolen to order, if they're at the trial it doesnt matter if your in a van, the bike is already spotted. I live in epworth not far from you, and im 99.9999% we were followed. its only 45mins. I could be wrong , but i think tong is the "spotting ground"
Search "Henry Krank alarm mine" or also known as gamekeeper mine . legal provided you use blank cartridges! local gunshops /country stores sell them, P&P on black gunpowder is expensive!!!!!!!!!!
tie wire for steel reinforcing works well for wider gaps as fishing line stretches too much, and dont forget the dog.
Just seen the cancelled notice. Oh dear, and i was so looking forward to a wallow around in the mud.
Greg, how's the deliberating going or have you got a bike yet?
No, I sold my 08 gasser and was waiting for a 12, had the nod from her,no probs.(Bearing in mind i've had 5 new bikes and 5 used bikes in last ten years, boots ,helmets etc.etc.)I couldnt get to grips with the price,the response from dealers i've known a long time was poor to say the least, so bought some new golf clubs and a hot-tub instead and quite enjoying them. It is difficult though missing keighley gate, bob owen , hills boro xmas trial,shrimp hill trial,fisher trial etc. Maybe i'll pick my dummy up and get another this year.
Firstly..Like i said that i have only picked up the bike recently (last wk'end)and only rode it once so in regards to the kicking of the bike i think this was the issue with the previous owner hence the damage already caused before i got it,as it was slipping and not engageing with the cogs
Secondly.... I gotta say that i spoke with Gas Gas UK and they were very helpfull about this issue as the bike comes with a 3month warranty then a further 3months on the parts which they were quite happy to uphold, UNFORTUNATLEY the bike was registered in Jan/Feb this yr so just outside the required timing to get this done through the warranty,
So gonna get the parts and get it repaired so i get peace of mind and hopefully not cause anymore damage to the engine...
We have a groundworks business, supplying plant and labour g/works on new housing sites.This time 2008 i was unemployed with 2 14 ton volvo excavators which were in neg. equity,dec 09 working me and 1 employee, Dec 2010 Me & 2 men severely snowed off, Dec 2011 me & 2men very busy& in demand, but working on prices lower than in 2005.so could be worse.
I enquired two weeks ago into an 8 ton kubota exc.
