  1. I hope the 4t is dead I have never liked them really, they cause more problems than they solve (we have won zero friends for cleaner emmissions but lost some friends due to the excessive noise). they cost more but are less effective unless you are called Toni and can spend 300k euro on a bike. Cabs did ok on his indoors but the rest of us dont ride indoors anyway. 2t all day every day for me
  2. I did chuffed just been to the pub to formally commence training
  3. does anyone know if cabestany entered then ?
  4. that is a fantastic result must have beaten Raga, Fajardo Fuji and Dougie, blimey
  5. I will not take the Pi55 Or a member of the Battensby family will remind me of the time I filled my Sherco with Diesel. To make matters worse I had just been explaining that it still was a really sweet motor despite having finished the SSDT a week earlier.... So I starts her up, lots of smoke, some kind of pinking and then it stopped. About an hour of fettling later somebody said they could smell deisel, put sherco tank contents into van ( actually deisel plus 80ml of two stroke) put fesh petrol into bike and hey presto. at least I didnt call the AA !

    actually theres a gas gas wheel on ebay which will probably fit if you change the bearings

    Your bike should have a set of chain tubes which are mounted on the rear wheel spindle via a bracket. The chain tensioner is fixed to the crank case near the gear box sprocket. As i recall one of the other changes on the Mk 3 was the design of the swinging arm which if you look in the photos has a kink upwards before the rear wheel spindle, you could try and copy this as it improved handling, or you could shorten the swinging arm but it depends if you want to mess around with it or just ride it. In short do answer your dos and donts question do sell it dont buy another ! only kidding, have fun
  8. the a82 closure could be a bigger issue although i'm not sure where exactly they mean but if we had to go off road to chairlift via kinlochleven and altnafeadh that would be utterly fantastic i do realise we have lost access to altnafeadh but even old gits like me can dream....

    sounds like he's been on the sauce to me
  10. the 300 has some serious grunt and when you think that one of the better national riders sponsored by GG is running a flywheel weight, inlet spacer and thicker base gasket you need to think do I really need that much power. you havent said what level you ride at ? I have an 09 280 with keihin carb and flywheel weight and recently tried an 09 300 with keihin which had done less work than my bike. The 300 was just too much, very torquey, but far too much go for me, I couldnt get across a camber on the 300 which I was cleaning on my 280. obviously I dont know if the 300 was jetted correctly or what the tyre pressures were etc but my impression was I wouldnt buy a 300 as I couldnt ride it as well as my 280. next bike is either a 280 again or a 250.

  15. baldilocks replied to ham2's topic in XPA
    get off the computer, you still havent fitted the tyre !!
  16. two children under 4 plus Grumpy the teenager has discovered proper music... of course I have ear plugs I think we need to fit skis to the bike not tyres, dont think we'll be going anywhere this weekend.
  17. Cope is your Sherco an 06 or 07 ? my 07 came with the intergrated valve and since they came out I've never had to seal a rim tape, its been ok straight out of the box on my 07 Sherco and 09 gas gas. definitlely the way forward if you dont have one already
  18. HAM 2 given I have two beaders in the Baldilocks garage and a compressor its probably quicker to drive over here. I would prefer you to p--s about with a strap first just for my entertainment however and then I 'll do it in 5 mins with the proper kit ! happy new year mate
  19. Happy new year dabster
  20. A mate of mine had an 06 repsol, it definitley came with a slow throttle. can I smell gin again ?
  21. Cheers bigfoot Merry xmas to all
  22. I got interviewed last week by a very nice young lady, she said "whats your house like ?" I said "I've got a semi" which would have been fine, but then I showed it to her..... NOT ME NOT ME it was Jimmy Carr seen as its christmas can we put my joke back up about the aussie breakfast quiz ??
  23. Frankly Justin I'm dissapointed in you. I clicked the link thinking you had sold the fat noisey lump , as in Gerty Passes On imagine my disapointment......... merry Christmas anyway
  24. Judging by my recent scores you dont want any tuition off me mate but snow and ice can be good to learn throttle control, you just need simple sections .
