  1. You could get away with it, if you allow people on your land but dont tell them there allowed on it...as in go there but say 'aint saying you can'... so there kinda illegally there but you wont prosecute them. .. ok.. doubt that makes sense and i dont know if thats fool proof but i know of a farmer that kinda does that..but i dont think he rides
  2. Mines an 05 280, I prime it with some soft pushing to get the compression up, then kinda stand up and then lean on it and kick, Picked it up from Ryan young on his dvd, seemed a much better way than i use to do it, quite easy to start all the time. But not when its in gear..clutch drag and all that. This may not help, sorry if it doesnt

  6. I think the point of only allowing TC members the advance of editing is a valid reason and one that i expected to happen. But i like the idea, all the information in one place in a clear format rather than sifting through loads of posts that arn't relevant? I'd be up for helping out. Mat

Could make a kind of wiki for beginners, Have a number of articles submitted, that may have modifications done by others or suggested, that cover: -buying first bike -changing oil -checking bearings common faults -techniques etc..etc.. you could even encoporate the modification of the wikki into the 'trials central supporter' thing ??
