  1. I`d happily sign up too something officail (sp?) even at a low cost anually perhaps? someones gotta do it and if there is enough demand then something like
  2. Hey Stu good too hear your all fixed! i`m very near completion myself with my Dave Cooper jobby I `x` over a towel on the seat area and put a strap round the back wheel on the upright there done loads a miles like that. Heatho does it a bit differnt with a strap or two on the bars and few elsewere all a bit of a maze too me? The only worry I ever have with contact too my car (vectra saloon) is the footpeg on the bumper (fender too our American friends) but a bungee from peg too peg sorts that I will admit the first 100-200 miles your spincter muscles give it some and your looking in the rear view mirror more than you should be looking forwards but your trust slowly builds up. Only advise is keep a good eye on the condition of your straps

    Beta Clothing

    Top trial stuff also available Here Jack keep an eye on ebay thats were I got mine from otherwise if your lucky enough too get new stuff give Lampkins a call
  4. Or my personal favorite Get one (or two if one isn`t long enough) old ratchet strap put round the circumferance of the tyre and tighten enough too squash the tyre out and the bead onto the inner rim, with valve out and slippy stuff on tyre inflate with compressed air, job done NOTE: be sure too have ratchet in the undo position before inflating! I found out too my cost once that the strap wil explode and whip you quite nicely if you forget too do so

    Beta 4-stroke

    I`ve spoken too him now and he tell`s me it`s quiet for a 4T just a deeper note than the 2T not much noisier rtclick that sounds like a good idea I may try that one
  6. I love the Rev 3 however i`ve not riden a mont and would definatley say it`d be second on my list of bikes I want! Although be careful with a 2000 rev 3 as from what i hear they had a few issues what with it being the first year of the model. Upside down fork issues is the first that springs too mind
  7. :agree: I noticed it earlier perhaps they reduced it too much? or had an overwhelming demand for that over there other bargains? Just hope those that wanted one got one I know I did

    Beta 4-stroke

    Heath sent me this picture but I agree it dont tie up I reckon he cleaned the bike with his boots EDIT: hope he don`t mind me posting the picture
  9. TTS only because I used too be able too get it very cheap if not free! but now i`m paying full whack I may look at changing too Repsol as it`s a little cheaper

    Beta 4-stroke

    The eight million dollar question.............................................. Was it noisey?
  11. as for any issues a few (well lots) people have a few issues with the carb but set up correctly this is fine CLICK HERE and a price TRY HERE That is for a brand new one of course, must say an excellent choice of bike
  12. My thoughts exactley I went in pretty much blind and bought a 250 if I had known what I know now i`d of gone for a 200 I think well it`s certainley going too be highest on the list for my next bike (unless the rev 4 comes out well ) at the end of the day surely it`s much easier too tune up a bike than calm it down?
  13. OK now I have a find for you all S5600 for
  14. Here you go Here cheaper bigger but the same idea and this isn`t known as one of the cheaper camping shops I must admit!!
  15. one Here bit pricey and only 0.6 liter but certainley a nice fuel bottle

    Beta 4-stroke

    Don't get this "fly out in no time" who is going to buy the things? Only what I `reckon` my love no need for the offensive? but just my thoughts from the comments on here alone plus i`d certainley consider buying one if tests come in well. And i`d never before even of dreamt of buying a brand new bike
  17. barrybaines

    Beta 4-stroke

    They seem too suggest its not very noisey another plus for the Beta then Regards the only 300 made I hope they mean thats all they have made so far? I reckon they`ll fly out in no time
  18. just noticed them here and it`s nice too see these lads are now sponsoring TC great bunch and lots of new stuff keeps popping up on the site note the new Gasser tail pipe attachment
  19. Nope and after a Froogle search I see this isn`t as great a deal as previously thought just an average one still onbe hell of a camera for that sort of money
  20. or you can use the likes of photobucket which is free and the use the little tree image in the reply section or copy and paste directly from photobucket using the bits
  21. Right then just got an email offering me this and thought it too good not too share! CHEAPO thing is I was already gonna buy the 5600 but needed too buy a new bed first but now this has come up i`m in a right muddle as too what to do?
  22. could just be down to handlebar and leaver positioning, or if you`ve changed brand could be the geometry change but either way i`m sure you`ll soon adapt
  23. Excellent cheers Ben, dont suppose you have an estamated time scale for this do you?

    Changing Coolant

    A lot of people reccomend the premixed silkolene stuff but I use just a normal long life coolant with anti corosion properties mixed 50/50 with distilled water. When i do mine i make sure I fully empty it out by tilting bike over etc. then once topped up i`ll break the seal a little too let some coolant through and hopefully any bubbles then top up run the bike and check levels again
  25. last time I looked there was a link off there site selling it in France, I couldn`t say if they ship world wide or not though
