  11. A biker is riding by the zoo in London when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Honda, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Honda rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Honda rider replies, Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies "I'm a Royal Marine, and a Conservative." The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: ROYAL MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!.....
  12. The biggest downsides for me is not being able to tinker with the motor, not having the pleasure of the aroma of a hot two stroke wafting through the old olfactory organ.....
  13. What a lot of people don't seem to consider is where the power comes from to recharge these 'clean' electric motor's batteries......
  14. I forgot about my Beamish....... rather than see the bikes being wasted by not being used, they're lent to people to use. Hard.
  15. I've got a few trials bikes, (3 OSSA's, a Montesa, Greeves, Bultaco, Beta, 2 Gas Gas, Yamaha, some are 'minters', some are in 'excellent' condition. I like to see them get used in the way they were intended. I did a trial recently on my '58 Greeves Scottish and a chap told me it should be on display. I told him it was on display that day, outside, covered in mud and giving me a big grin....
  16. If trials bikes get any easier to ride, you might as well sit on the settee with your bloody Playstations... .... electric starts? They'll be watercooling them next.... ;>]
  17. Brilliant..... I look forward to your 'reports'....
  18. Is it air locked? Have you taken the cap off to vent it? Kinked pipe?

    Electrex Ignition

    I've used ignitions like this on numerous bikes, racing and trials for many years. Never had a problem setting them up without a Woodruff key. Never had one come loose or move.
