I got my Sherco out from under its blanket recently and started it up on the drive...but NASA had to go one better, admittedly it couldn't be a full throttle run up but its great to see such hardware and brute force just limbering up outdoors:-
I think there's a divide in the Pro owners club, you're either a ;seal up the drain flap, guy or a leave it be, kinda guy. Search around for Gas Gas Scottish Six Day Trial preparation for the definitive answer from the importer.
Ok I'll admit that some of this BS is just a stalling tactic, I was waiting for one of our antipodean TC cousins to make a contribution to the original post question. In the back of my mind I can barely recall someone (Neo?) fabricating a holder tool out of plywood...or did I dream that? It must be great to have a memory?
Just looked at Copeys torque values which are pinned
Never used a torque wrench, i have seen one before but it only worked with a socket. So unless there is a ring spanner version how do you torque cylinder base nuts as I can't get a socket on the front two ?
Here's another tool I don't use , I think there's a ring-spanner stub as well.
You see! At least he admits it! Put the thing back proper you hack!
A bit of background here Mark; his family were Honda dealers for a long time, he does have a lot more experience than your average trials geezer. You know what it's like when you become familiar with the spanners and you have the 'touch'. Talking of the 'touch' my apprenticeship was in heavy duty industrial hydraulics many years ago and bolting that pressure in safely was paramount. Some of the old fellas could nip up a bolt 'to spec' more accurately than a freshly calibrated torque wrench, for a laugh they would add the tut (think Skippy the bush kangaroo ) when they were done. Even though they were bang on the money they received official repremands for not taking the torque wrench out of its packaging!! So the moral of the story is? If you have the right tool, use it...if you haven't...er...don't
You got me all excited there.....I reckon you're looking at a 2007/8 Mont for that money. I wasn't a 4rt fan until I had a ride of a PTB model, it's the most fun I've had p|55|ng about on a trials bike I've ever had but I don't know how competitive it would be at a trial ( I don't worry about my marks). I think you need to cadge a ride of each steed in the location you plan to use it i.e in a section or at your playground.
You have to swing a leg over a couple of different models to see how it fits you, no-one else can influence this factor it's very subjective .
I found the Rev3 to be front heavy and it had a strange head down 'stooped' riding position for me.
I owned a 280 2001 Gasser and it had a more comfortable 'head-up' posture but it was a wild-child (potent) yet I never had any mechanical problems with it.
Any links to YouTube showing "twin shock splats" can't quite get my head round that !
Dont think i want to. Whats a splat ?
Splatter= American term for stupid crazy rock steps, big ol logs that you cant see over lol..
no,, twin shock splatters wont be 20 foot straight up off camber rocks..i do have some 4 foot rocks, and a nice 6 foot log with a cheater step im mind..
at a local pactice area, we have a downed Oak tree that, with a kicker, i can make with a small dab on my TLR, for the life of me, i can get it with my Evo without pulling it up 2 footed..
hey,,,Eddie can do some twin shock splats..
????? I see no splats?????
I was as intrigued as my Scots brother B40rt was when the subject of a twinshock splat was brought up, I've never seen one, I would dearly love to witness one particularly from a standing start. I think we might have lost something in translation here?
This is my understanding of a splat:-
Back wheel lands first on face of obstacle, impact brings front wheel down on top of obstacle...if you're me; you panic at this point and forget to pull clutch in thus launching the bike into low earth orbit
I googled searched 'Funny Scottish Pictures' I willl admit that I did photo-shop the original pic...I added the flag and foliage in the background
I suppose it's my own fault for posting the old 'Sherco and me in the bath' photo because it just lead people on; but Ross, Andy, these personal messages you bombard me with have to stop...Andy, I just don't care about your new pants:-
Ooh, all you excited Jockenese people will be stocking up for Burns Night Eve tomorrow, all ready to let your hair down and party. You always seem to take the opportunity to show the world that you take pride in being different to the rest of the U.K. The official photographer for the Scottish National Party has released some photos of last years parade:-
