Unfortunately i doubt we'll be able to spend too much of this winter in Butsfield. Its restricted by number of uses allowed per year. Its a pity all the NE clubs couldn't get together and buy somewhere like rogerly. Wonder if the Coal Board would sell Hedley Drift

Does it backfire while still trying to rev the engine or after you have closed the throttle ? Riding in the temperatures your describing the engine may be overheating in which case the engine management will put the bike in 'limp home mode' In other words the bike can't rev past 2000 rpm it'll run perfectly up to that point and let you ride it back to the van. Have to let the engine cool down then it will run normally again

Try on all helmets and buy the one that fits you the best. Make sure when your head is bent slightly down you can see under the peak Personally i need a helmet with a removeable washable liner and i like the seat belt type fasteners other than that make sure its a good fit a large in say a Hebo may be equivelent to a medium Shoei.

Take your glove off and feel how hot the fuel tank gets It'll take your mind off the fan cutting in

If your definately going let me know and i'll give you exact directions you'll enjoy it if you can make it

Ok AJ I'm volunteering you to ride the trial 29th september 2007 Consett club actually on the opposite side of the A68 to this weekends trial Usually get some Scots lads down to this one at Buttsfield. Not really aware of any practice areas in your locality Tweed Valley Club are a good bunch of lads and they ride all the NE trialsas are Bedlington they are probably your nearest events. NE trials are very well advertised on here through the calander and results usually with photo's are always posted.

Stanley trials club are holding a 2 day trial this Sat and Sun. you can enter both days or 1 day whichever day. Start is 11am and it is right at the side of the A68 just past Consett heading south you will get to meet all the local lads there and all category of rider are catered for it'll be much better than practicing

offroadmoto.co.uk they will supply and fit them for you Clicky They support all North East trials and donate observers prizes even give all observers warm hats last winter so they deserve some support in return

I enjoyed it too and nearly everyone i spoke to said they enjoyed it Thought Carl was older than Martin

Tilt the filter at a bit of an angle and turn it while gently pushing in. Make sure you have the filter the correct way round and put a little grease on the end of the spring to stop it coming out of the filter.

Its not that bad Don. For me the worst job was the second filter change. The first filter change i reused the original gasket. However every second filter change i replace the gasket. Removing the original gasket from the casing is a pain its very well stuck down. I always replace the o rings at every oil filter change and now i smear grease on both faces of the gasket when fitting a new one and have had no problems. For a difficult and fiddly job you should try refitting a 2002 Gas Gas Pro air filter housing, especially in cold weather, that'll make you love removing and refitting your skid plate. Before i receive any grief i'm not knocking Gas Gas in any way and i specifically referred to 2002 as i am reliably informed the later model air filters are much easier to refit.

I found Alpinestars to be quite stiff and supportive. I'd stick to trials boots if i were you they are specifically designed for trials. You wouldn't see a footballer playing in ballet shoes

The standard skid plate is quite thin and easily bent, the more out of shape it is the more difficult to refit. I find they go back on without too much trouble if their in good shape Fit the front bolts first just loosely and offer the rear up to the frame, watch out for the engine rubber supports moving about, then fit rear bolts. One badly out of shape skid plate we had we loosely fitted the front bolts then put a car trolley jack under the skid plate and took the weight of the bike on that then fitted rear bolts. Be careful not to OVERTIGHTEN engine casing bolts when refitting the engine casing, use torque settings supplied in the manual, i've heard of a couple cracking when overtightened.

At last I now know where im going wrong watching me too much Doubt an 08 will come with coloured rims

If your hair doesn't grow back in you could fit an Alpinestars tattoo in there

start your bike from cold, leave the throttle alone and let bike tickover for a couple of minutes and your plug will be fine

You'd need to make sure it was another Geordie at the other end though or they'd never understand you Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Don't mention the Skunks they've just bought Middlesbrough's top scorer from last season.. Looks like he's been eating Kebabs with you. Crack is he chose the Toon cos vertical stripes will make him look thinner

Ask your lass if you can get out on bike more I've put 5.1/2 inch rise bars on and thicker grips it stopped my arm pump then move your clutch lever further along the bars so you can reach it comfortably Bet the observers would love every rider to take a 15 minute rest in between laps ;-)

Its obvious Jitsie know more about taking money from babes than HRC

happenned to me on an 05 once. When the engine overheats the engine management system puts the bike in 'get back to the van' mode. It will rev cleanly to 2000rpm then it starts to run badly, misfire, not take the throttle. If you let the engine cool down it will run perfectly again.
