Imported Northern rocks mate.

I'd be interested in those Gizza considering the stick I give my cases on the rocks

An old Doberman starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old Doberman thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old Doberman exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old Doberman nearly had me!" Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther. The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!" Now, the old Doberman sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Doberman says ...... "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!" Moral of this story... Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! Bull**** and brilliance only come with age and experience.

As I've said before, the debt is possibly not the problem, paying it off may make no difference at all to a business that is unable to make a profit - debt or not. If you make something for £10 and sell it for £5 your in big trouble, it makes no difference whatsoever if your accounts show a multimillion debt, the debt is only a symptom of the problem not the problem itself.

This type? http://www.jimsandiford.co.uk/montesa-cota-4rt-water-pump-protector-2649-p.asp

No problem with my 2014, but the IRC would pop off at any hint of a rock or even a root. I have heard new 4rt wheels are £350, less than I assumed when I was told, the older 4rt wheels fit fine if you can source one.

24 million Euro debt, about 2 hours of UK Government borrowing to get that number in another context.

If they're anything like my 2007 Cabby, map 1 will be "mental" and map 2 will be "mental"

Levers - complete throttle assembly - rear brake - gear lever - chain tensioner and spark plug.

Oldham have said no to Ched Evens joining the club today, although Ched has taken that as a yes.

Just out of interest, why were you thrashing a trials bike up the road for 4-5 minutes?

If GasGas are selling their product for £6,000 per unit but it costs them £7,000 to build and market it then no amount of sales are ever going to cure that problem, the cure is producing and marketing the bikes at a figure under £6,000 or managing to persuade the motorcycle industry GasGas bikes are now worth over £7,000 a unit.

Ian, as we know there is only one figure any business must take care of as turnover is irrelevant, gross profit is irrelevant, number of sales is irrelevant, the only number at the end of the year that counts is "net profit" If that number is a minus number you've got a problem, a big minus number you have a very big problem, that number needs to be either zero or better, and as already mentioned by a poster, cash flow is essential for any business, a lack of cash flow can end the most successful and most profitable businesses on the planet if its wrong. Money is cheap for many reasons, none of those reasons ensure anyone will be able to get their hands on any of it though, even if that money was more expensive. Mr Draghi is trying to force the banks to lend, a policy that is destined to fail quite spectacularly in the coming months, if you're already scared stiff to lend to businesses encase they default, taking free money that you still have to account for and lending that is not going to suddenly make you feel less scared of lending it, neither is closing long standing money havens Banks use to keep the fictitious electronic numbers supposedly safe. Although I have no insider info and everything I say is guess work I expect Gasgas are protecting the business from their debts in the courts so the business cannot be closed down by anyone, although this helps in some way if those who want to see you closed down are suppliers to the manufacture of your end product you face an enormous problem as you cannot operate/make bikes anymore. A guess again, but GasGas now need a very rich investor willing to pay off the existing debts or restructure them and make the business profitable immediately, sadly something that simply cannot be done in some cases.

Or possibly if you cant hop very well or not at all? I've never had any problems hopping the 4rt about neither have my friends, and would even say I can hop it better than my last bike, a 290 Sherco.

Just like whole sovereign economies, lack of cash/money is the real decider, the Eurozone is in this position now and is the reason the Euro Xerox has been plugged in.

Don't think so, just the tube, about a tenner

I think you can just buy the tube for the throttle, no need to buy the whole assembly.

Heather 11/44 is pretty much the same ratio as 10/41, going to a 9 is way to low though.

Cracking Club and trials ground, must get myself up there again this year.

Ian, you've mentioned something most are not supposed to know about mate, the elites will not be happy, it could scupper their plan totally if too many know how the system actually works. The debts as such are not the problem as long as you can service those debts all of the time, and if need be increase the debts in the future as long as you can still use profit to make the repayments. The problems start when you cannot afford the repayments of the debts, or your creditors want their money back, or you need to keep borrowing but cant find anyone to lend to you, one or all of these may apply to GasGas. I suspect GasGas are in a position where they simply can't make a profit from what they are doing so need to borrow constantly to increase income, most investors will have recognised this and are possibly unwilling to lend anymore so a stale mate is the outcome.

Heather, if it makes you feel better it is often the terrain between groups of sections that can be the most challenging of the day, I've ridden many Nationals and come seriously unstuck along the route as that route is possibly the only way to the next group or the shortest route to take. I can remember quite a few attempts and biggish crashes trying to ride up a rock step at the Jack Wood between groups as did many others, the better lads popped up it as if it wasn't there whilst the likes of me (even though I ride Expert at club level) found it quite big, all part of the day though.

That was the mistake I made giving a mileage estimate of 100, locked the online form and told me to call, went down hill from there.

Being told something you've just paid over 5 grand for is actually some holographic hallucination you are or have imagined usually gets me in the mood for a good row, we got there in the end.

I expect its down to you to tell them what the value is, tell them 1000 miles for road use its easier than saying zero or 100 like I did, confuses the already confused. My 4rt wasn't on their database so I had to get it added. He tried for sometime to tell me that the Montesa 4rt is not a motorcycle as it wasn't listed on his computer? but after a few minutes it must have got through to him that his list was possibly not the Bible and asked for some help higher up which sorted the problem out.

Benetts - £77 TPFT for a 2014 Montesa 4rt, I am old though.
