Oy vey , how much does Christmas, schmish-mass cost, all zhat money...for whaaat? Happy honicker ! Th anus to you aswell Andy. ...seriously....MERRY CHRISTMAS trials peeps

Do it,do it, do it, do it... Hope you never need to find out I've heard that they're very capable weapons those 200's.

I can't help thinking that layout is heavier than a single exit?

Open it up and tell us what's in there?

...basic maths error for me; stripped bike,cleaned front pipe with 6 rags, accounted for 5, assembled bike....and wouldn't start. Wondered why? As for other peoples' errors: Out practicing many moons ago and came across some unfortunate fella stranded in the middle of nowhere, field-stripping the side case off his bike using a basic bum-bag tool kit. He was swearing like a trooper, cursing his ''POFS gearbox...''. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I handed him his freshly oiled chain that I'd found on the track about hundred yards back

Never start it up after you've washed it until you've removed and dried the airbox internally.

Ahh, what a waste of a trials bike . Hasn't he dropped a clanger after all that design and fabrication effort? The rear track, it's too narrow to be useful?

I went to see an 'Elbow' tribute band last night, they were fantastic, you could barely tell them apart from the real thing...their name? 'Ar5e'

My name is ***** ******* (highly classified). I live in *****, **** *** **** (restricted information). I've recently signed an agreement at work to the effect that I am to refrain from posting on any automotive related web-site (This sounds dramatic but isn't interesting). I'm a time served hydraulics technician and mechanical engineering draughtsman. I then went on to become an electrical service engineer then shop manager an now...? Actually, my previous job was very dangerous; I was a shark dentist.....God this is boring! The good bits: Off and on I've had a bike since I was 12 , more recently, I love p1551ng about on trials bikes but rarely get peg-time and I too hold a couple of patents, namely: I developed the worlds most powerful acid but couldn't find anything to hold it in. I invented a disability-telecoms device , for the deaf,which employed an integrated telephone and light beacon which flashed, signifying an incoming call.

Because Dougie knows that when he does a task (challenge? ...I don't watch it) there will be his father in the undergrowth shouting; '' Haf u tuyeh raight, luke weigh y gowin..''

??

Ow...Christ that must smart?

as the French might say...Tres fukt

Yess, oh, yesss, that's more like it

Just spotted this comment. Copey, you're mad as f**k .How close were you to the Trinity tests?

Dadof2, Are you trying to compare the MPG figures on two different engines, from different eras... on the same standard of fuel? Running that old Cologne on present day supermarket unleaded would be asking for trouble (valve recession etc..) ;unlike the Audi. Back on topic...how much is this new technology on the Vertigo going to cost? are we any closer to finding out?

...which feeds back to my point: 31 BHP How? and Why? Does the 'leccy pump free up that much wallop?

492 bhp per tonne? World's gone mad?

Yeah, what he said I was trying to be too tactful methinks. I hear ya, I'm not disputing that.

...err , the only bit I'm sure about is that the 200 has a bush instead of a needle bearing...and I think that's where the noise comes into it?

Had a 98 Cota with a Grimeca master cylinder which, after changing everything else first, turned out to be ineffective.

I'm willing to be corrected by a Beta-ist but from what I've learned the 200 is based originally on a 125 and, amongst other revisions, has a bronze bush small end in the piston instead of a needle bearing. This might make the 200 prone to exhibit a mini-ratttle...sorry I'm not sure how serious it could be.

Selling pencils out of a cup? My memory fails me, which one was arrested for going with Hugh Grant?
