Billy, that's incredibly cynical. If we all held that opinion we'd regress to living in caves very quickly. Scientific method is the cornerstone of contemporary science and technology.
However, there have been instances to which you refer. One the members is very familiar with them. This is, IMO, very worrying.
Thanks for that bo. Interesting.
Didn't Dibster turn up a pre-65 boxing day trial a few years ago? Put the sh*ts up the regulars with his hopping and nose wheelie turns? Bloody youngsters....no respect for tradition...mutter...mutter..
If it's a Sherco third will be used a lot more often than most of us lesser mortals would use it typically for big steps. Expert riders will slip the clutch (reason to check it) and stress the third gear pair. Hence these components will be the ones I would check. Check to see if the clutch slips and whether it pops out of third gear.
*edit* while I'm at it I'd check out the suspension linkage. Slamming into rocks when doing a splatter must wear the linkage. It's easy enough to check.
I'm curious. The jackets have the union flag (no, not the union jack. That flies on ships) above the left breast pocket. For a start, AFAIK, only people who have represented Britain in the ISDE or have won a British experts trial qualify for this honour so why sell it to any Tom, Dick or Harry?. Next, why 1964?
Never manufactured nor was the KTM. Both developed by Scottish regular and mate of Big Johns Walter Luft.
Puch motor was used in a Greeves model though.
Speaking as somebody who hasn't seen snow for 40 yrs, surely you need chains on all 4 wheels? Bit pointless having a car that can go but not turn or vice versa.
