The owners manual doubles as a workshop manual, everything you need to know is in there. Thats just the ticket on sale on ebay, get bidding!! I even kept mine when I sold my TYZ as I knew I was getting a Scorpa SY and it came with next to cock all manual! Seems, to the best of my knowledge, Montesa are the only manufactures that supply a decent book with their bikes. About time more did the same.

Ah... Rim Band's! Been there, Dabsters yer man!

I've been told they're cheap and not very cheerful.

These photo's popped up a few months back.

You need a water pump protector!

The point I was hoping to put across is that I think there may be a large number of people that didn't give Remembrance Sunday much more than a casual thought. An organised event would focus those people and generate revenue too. I don't think using the Saturday would have the same effect. What would you do, ask everyone to be silent at 11 whilst the rest of the world is getting on with their lives? What is being said is use the day to bring to the fore what happened all those years ago, do this whilst riding our bikes. Surely its better to have folk thinking about what happened whilst riding than not thinking at all? How many of you all did nothing on Remembrance Sunday but think about our hero's? Not many I'd guess.

They get my seal of approval. Had mine since new, over three years old now and got round Scotland fine this year, which is more than can be said for the rider! If you trawl the Scorpa forum you

There's a two-day trail held in Jersey over the Remembrance Sunday weekend every year. Think about what they went through, the Germans occupied them! I observed a two minute silence on the 11th, tuned in to BBC1 on Remembrance Sunday and observed the silence there too. After that I spent the rest of the day doing my normal Sunday stuff and in all honesty I never gave the matter another thought. I feel slightly ashamed to admit this but it

It's my job, I work for Pedigree dog food. I check the poop to see what the dogs are passing.

I was told it was to do with bones. Dogs used to get bones from butchers and the white turd was becasue of the calcium. Dogs these days don't tend to eat bones.

I would consider it but if it was as tough as the Scott then....

More Scorpa than beta in my opinion.

The Chopper and Grifter thing! I remember all the poncy kids had the Choppers; they used to ride round with old CB aerials on the back! The real fun was on a Grifter with a playing card or lolly stick stuck in the spokes to give it that authentic motorbike sound! Bullying your younger brother and his mates to lay under the jump you've made to see how many of them you could jump! Pulling big skids everywhere and then getting told off by your dad. Then you'd have to go pleading to him because you needed a new back tyre. He'd tell you to bugger off and you'd have to resort to swapping the front tyre with the back! And remember when the chain that selected the gear in the rear hub snapped? Stuck in top for the rest of the bikes life!!

Was that last week then?

Check out Birketts site.

Its an 03 I think. Got to check those bolts, they do come loose. Should really check all of them every now and then. I found some loose on the engine before.

Don't Easyjet carry 'Sports Equipment' Free of charge?

Just a thought, what would you do with the Scorpa SY125/175F? Its air cooled but got a modern set up.

I'm refering to the evening and the low turn out of riders that use the site. As you say, there was over 60 but weren't a large amount of that number members of the bradford club? Thats what I was told at the time anyway, I'm not dissing the event or trying to start slagging.

If it could be run as a two or three day event then I'd hope folk would be up for travelling. There was a low turn out at the last one which was a real shame bearing in mind all who said they were coming. Both myself and Bigfoot travelled from the north east of Scotland, a journey of around 7-8 hours each way. Andy and HL travelled almost as far. Most people in England would have to travel much less than that.

Some clubs have a seperate class, as far as I'm aware you can't use them in Pre 65 or Twin Shock classes. I tend to think that a rider is up against it to a certain degree if he/she choses to ride an air-cooled mono against the modern bikes. Would it be better to run an air-cooled class alongside the Pre 65 and Twin Shock classes? I think it could work.

I played the videos in IE. The browser kept crashing and asking me to send an MS error report.

I picked up a TY350 for

Me too, vids don't work in Firefox.

Here we go. Click here for a large map, the arrow is where the lay-by is. See below for a zoomed in map. I'll look out for you, I'll be on a 52 plate 03 SY, white Shoei Helmet and grey jacket.
