No, afraid not, my culinary skills can't stretch to a curry.......

and mighty fine they were too.... just sorry we didn't have more to go around.....!! (managed beans & sausage too at pipers burn.....)

The good.... -Well done to everybody who had the balls to turn up & ride... -The new montesa's did sound as good at the end as when they started -The awards ceremony was a bit quicker than last year -Fantastic riding by the top boys with lots of different daily performers -Mr Dabill 'coasting' over most of the sections we saw barely off tick-over -Close results really added to the excitement The not so good.... -Watching on a daily basis 15 mins of kickstarting the 4 stroke sherco's (i think it will be a great bike when its sorted tho) -The weather on thursday morning (v. wet at chairlift) -(Some) Factory mechanics preparing bikes at the end of the day Dissapointed.... -Hearing the well known father of a well known UK rider 'chastising' a well known (and capable) overseas rider for 'changing' the previous section in front of a number of spectators...... and i thought there were 269 other riders in the trial and 'x' million loose boulders in scotland.... But a great week... still as exciting as the first time i saw it in 1981....

How about a good quality double sided tape?? Andy

In my opinion, Black base colour, aluminium silver graphics......

Painted white......

Herewith picture of Joe's old sherco

I have a radiator, fan & coolant bottle for a climber if you're interested

Here's another xspeed (nb, it's a girls helmet!!!) Andy

nah, not ashamed, just because i can and i happen to have a vector to cut a shoei sticker..... Andy

This is my xspeed

I bought an xspeed last year..... seems ok to me and well made too for the price. 2 of my friends bought them too and are happy with them. Andy

CG is a pushrod engine, try a haynes manual for an xl125 as it's ohc (I made the mistake of buying a cg125 manual....) Andy.

I forget the exact date but by around 2020 china will have an economy greater than the U.S apparently... their excessive demand for their own markets (and export) has forced worldwide raw materials such as steel and aluminium pricing through the roof in 2003/4 and the cost of energy (electric, gas etc) has increased through their domestic consumption of coal..... The chinese economy is set to grow until 2040..... Its sad i take interest in such trivia.....

You might find specific GG or Hebo vectorised images hard to come by as usually they are created by signmakers to order. Sign shops will want vector images or will charge for conversion. Vinyl cutters won't work from JPEG's (unfortunately.......!!) If you don't get any success, let me know. Andy.

Spoke to Mark last night, said ok for a late entry. See you up there!! Andy

Any idea if i can get a ride on the day???? nothing else on locally in the area? Andy

Bob, did you get my message?

All sorted now.... condenser come adrift from the coil under the tank. Andy

did wonder as it happened fairly suddenly....

Bit of help needed.....!! Friend of mine got a 200 mont, ran brill yesterday, today started "four-stroking", running hot & spitting back thro carb. Any idea's? also what grade plug does it take? (didn't have a spare plug to try today) Cheers, Andy

anybody got or know of a spare one? Andy

oil tanks on two stroke road / trail bikes have 'bungs' about that size......? and from memory a vent hole too.....

Good thing about the 200 is the chain runs same side as a honda engine -saves quite a bit of messing about.

Think i paid about
