With two teenage boys I have to remind myself that it's a phase and it will wear off.

Is Gorilla glue like Gorilla snot (AKA contact adhesive)?

****NEWSFLASH****NEWSFLASH****NEWSFLASH**** Shares in Franco-Spanish motorcycles rose significantly today due to antipated growth in spares demand. This growth is expected to be attributed to a little known (but well loved ) English rider rejoining the Sherco fold... REUTERS.....

Does this mean the Dabster is in line for free parts?

Thank you for your considered reply Mark Truth be told listening to an iPod (or any music for that matter) thru earphones is, IMO, impractical. Nor do I want to stuff the iPod into the stereo and need to go backwards and forwards to change tracks. Be it a stereo or a TV with a home theatre system I would like to be able to plug the thing in, listen (without headphones) and be able to chage tracks remotely. The TV with home theatre system is the best option 'cause it has a whacking great monitor too.

Anybody clued up on the iPod file structure? I can play songs thru' the TV/home theatre but they're distributed all over the place. I'm looking for a file that the TV can read and spew out all the songs in a neat ordered format (e.g. by artist etc). This chap seems to have put his finger on the problem: "I don't have any problem with transferring music to or deleting it from my Ipod. What I do have a problem with is that my car radio displays, and scrolls through, the Itunes generated file name e.g. QXRTY.mp3, which is of no use whatever. The radio also scrolls through the folders F00 thru F05 but I have no way of determining which tracks are copied to which folder and in what order. This is driving me nuts. Ideally I'd like the Itunes file name to be a recognisable name or, at least, to be able to control the content of the folders, so that I've got the equivalent of a 6 CD changer. Any ideas would be welcomed.". From: iPod file structure I find it suspicious that there are no replies . Anybody got a clue?

And a very nice pair they are too.

Thanks. I just wondering how his Sherco ties were affected by the Husaberg deal. Apparently they weren't.

I forgot to look on the entry list and it has now vanished from the front page, but what bike did Grimbo ride in the Scott?

They usually are John. When I was kid and air travel was still quite expensive we (family) used to regularly travel on the union castle line. I remember one very bad crossing of the Bay of Biscay where about 90% of the passengers were confined to the heads, my dad and I were about the only people up and about. Eating was an interesting experience being a case of "if you can catch it you can eat it". Tables on those union castle liners were bolted to the floor and had little fold up flaps on the edges to prevent the plates falling off the table. As a cruise liner (as opposed to a mailship) it's possible that the ship in the vid was designed for calm seas like the caribbean and not rough seas.

If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD40.

Seeing that somebody started a thread on WD40 I thought it only fair we should also pay tribute to duct tape.

A Peter Fletcher replica? Have a look in Don Morleys "Classic British Trials Bikes".

That explains a lot.

This must be the second best I've seen to crop up on evil-bay. The other never having been ridden. This one's seen a bit of action (look at the rear brake lever) but is in fantastic condition. 348 MRR

Kev Hipwells Raga of a few years ago. I suspect that the photo should be credited to R2WTrials but can't remember. I apologise if I'm wrong.

Hop the front wheel? Hop the back wheel? Or hop ON the back wheel.

Dibs has re-signed with Shirty. It was on Facebook so it must be true

Great thanks guys. So Ian was/is involved but on the periphery.

I keep reading that Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame is a keen off road motorcyclist and have seen a pic of him in action on an Ossa. I believe that his interest is trials but has anybody on these forums ever met him at trial, ridden with him etc?

I'd heard that Bulto had problems with porosity of their castings and had overcome it by impregnating with resin.
