    4rt Coughing

    You need another bike there when yours is hot & swap bits with it to find the cause. I once saw a 315 doing this & a swapping session soon found the problem which would only occur after the bike was warmed up.
  2. Go through it front to back like you would any other bike & make sure everything works & is tight. Make sure you fit a mudflap on the front mudguard. If you've had any problem with your rear wheel breaking spokes rebuild it with new all round.
  3. what's the fuel consumption like when you're towing fully laden?
  4. They are a bit greedy aren't they, we've a 3.0 td & it wouldn't do 30 to the gallon coasting downhill. Great truck though.

    Flat Tank

    A firend of mine has done this with his tank, the rest of the bike is not bad either........ Top of tank removed & flattened, bottom tank expanded to increase fuel capacity. Perfect idea really, large capacity flat tank.
  6. Personally think it'll pull the a*** out of it if done regularly, buy a real 4x4, not a Rav,Xtrail etc.
  7. Big John will be stood there, mike in hand, to ask the very original 'What have you been doing in there?'
  8. Send him some of your massive sponsorship budget then

    If Andy

    rode a motorbike he'd have one of these Andy's helmet
  10. It's all getting a bit exciting not knowing where we're going to be off to on Monday morning. Rappers said in his column we're not off round Blackwater. Could we be off up Trotters first thing on Monday? What about a trip up Witches to settle the early nerves?
  11. ah but we wont be able, Labour have seen to that.

  13. While it'll have no direct intention of killing Trials some daft rule will be passed that will stop us completely.
  14. Can't see Trials growing too much in the current climate & don't forget, one casual stroke of a Brussels pen & Trials in the UK as we know it is dead.
  15. was a cat............. http://www.orange.co.uk/news/quirkies/?rm=...storyId=2809392
  16. He wouldn't notice, without the need to get early doors he could make a more serious effort at drinking the spot dry.
  17. Get a flight booked & sample the atmosphere for real.
  18. Never one to miss a deal, you should have offered him a couple of bikes & that old rideon lawnmower you want shot of.
  19. Despite him being hard work at times on here, Dabster is a star. He puts a lot back into trials, not only for Wiggy but for his own club & some of us up North. I wish there was a lot more folk about like him. As for him & AA they both want the same thing really, a British World Champion.
  20. Some folk do take life too seriously, Andy has posted a 'funny' letter that's been doing the rounds (like most other stuff posted here) for ages, I've seen it posted from a UK, USA & Canadian perspective. It's called HUMOUR.
  21. There you go Dabster, get entered up & then you too can be AA's hero.
  22. What's it say on your passport for profession? Grumpy old ****?
  23. Gav prefers to use a wall or hedge to remove the front off cars, it's quicker than spanners.
  24. I've used one on both the 4RT & a Gasser with no problems, I clip it on at the lowest point of back mudguard. I wear a good quality cycling waterproof jacket which has back pockets on both sides, I stuff a drink in there at every petrol stop. I carried a bag in my first trip round there, complete pain in the a***, I don't like riding sections with a bag on you have to walk to the end of every section to ditch it. There's some very long sections up there & generally you can get away with not walking the last 10 - 15 yards, add in a stop to pick the bag up & fasten it back on & it all adds up to a lot of wasted time. I find I can get everything I want to take in the moose bag including a tube, I generally put my air bottles / valve & turds in my pocket, the turd pusher fits to a fork leg.
