be interesting to see if that stayed in all day. Will my 2015 model gasser come with that strip of lead, it better as I want the factory replica!!

completly wrong, there is no way one of those is machined complete in 5 minutes when you take loading, unloading deburring etc They could be machined complete on a turn mill centre.

riding a 2006 bike is starting to put kuroyama at a disadvantage

Im talking about the chamfer around the teeth, sorry I didnt explain that correctly.

Also as far as punching sprockets out goes, I would like to see that in action. They would surely need some sort of second opertion on them to machine the tapers

If you are machining one of those triangular shaped pockets through the sprocket it will take longer to do it than it will to machine to a depth. Looking at the machining pattern inside each of the recesses they are using a small cutter and taking small cuts at a high speed and feed, to go right through would take a different approach where you would need to leave a membrane that would need snapped out and then deburred.

No

It wont take longer, it will be quicker to machine a recess than right through or were you being sarcastic?

it will be called 21 by the time it gets released.

Exactly, Dougie could have his pick of bikes from any of the importers I'm sure.

Were they not allowed to repair it for day 2?

surely something must have happened to brown and gubian- they arent that bad are they>?

Day 2, what happened Brown? Did Gubian hurt himself yesterday and take 5's on each section or is the Ossa that bad?

Montesa is still here- it's only the factory team thats changed its name.

At a local level certainly the no stop helps the older riders compete on the top route- look at the BTC, I'd say this is no different.

I was speaking to man in the know last week he said this bike is at least a year off yet.

Nice to Fujinami winning, must be easy judging by the scores. Nice to see Wigg riding. What happened Gubian? Where is Challoner?

also. IF you look at the results of the world round Karlsson is in as Montesa FactoryTeam, just the Repsol Team has changed names to align itself with motogp, I confirmed this with a phone call to Bou earlier.

is it just the factory team that are called honda, is the red off the shelf bike still not montesa

fantic is a 30+ year old dog to ride, just like a 5 bar gate on wheels step forward 30 years in time .... and you have a scorpa what car would you buy to drive around in, ford anglia or renault megane

Fantastic to see such a large entry, perhaps hundreds of classes are the way to go.

keep the markings, if you dont then whos to say the bike is what it is?

how can a modern bike need an "easy start kit". My '10 evo lay in the shed since last March and started after 3 kicks!

respect

shame you can only hit the like button once- great post!
