scorpion

hey guys, yeah did the easy route ,more for a laugh really, first trial i've done since I knackered my knee 18 months ago, saw a few of the usual suspects, e,g cripsy's dad flogging his beta round, and one or two familiar faces, brilliant day out, respect to all the observers etc , Thanks for the info see you again lads, mick

did anyone do the darwen trial on sunday near padiham ? I need some info about the club, if anyone is a member, thanxs.

Anyone still waiting for fork protectors from jitsie, I ordered mine from B-V-M what must be nigh on 2 months ago and they still haven't turned up, I've rung twice and e-mailed them once , anybody else waiting for some? cheers mick.

Wether there from the north or south, it's nice to see the girlies having a go !

by the looks of that, looks like becky cook was on the ball.

ta for that boys i'm gonna have to stop falling off it

hey guys got a new back mudguard , and it's stickers have a backing over them , do you add water to them like you would with transfers to remove it? or do you just peel it off, I tried this at first but it looked like it was pulling the sticker off aswell? any ideas. thanxs

anyone had a go on the new raga rep 05 and what did they think of it? Thanks.mick

you can call me a Fanny if you want but after doing my knee ligament in on my bike,not to mention dislocating my clavicle, I now ride with knee braces and have just purchased one of the sixsixone pressure suits, which has back,shoulder,elbow,forearm,chest protectors built in, yeah the first time I wore it the lads took the p*** but i've seen enough of hospitals to last me a friggin life time, and being as prone to falling off as i am and being as old as i am, i've started feeling the knocks abit more, which prompted me to splash the cash, overall I think it's the dogs B*****ks , but it can get a tad warm sometimes, though how long it lasts could be an issue.so if you see someone at cowmn that rides a rev'3, looks like a michelin man, and walks like john wayne, it's me.

hey stu, yeah I know it's just a phone call, it just seemed abit funny how all other shops have online shopping facilites, but the trials shops don't, yeah B-V-M are good , pity jitsie aren't so fast, i'm still waiting for me fork protectors

yeah I thought it was great, dougie and katy sunters columns were a nice touch, bout time we had our own glossy mag.

Can anyone tell me why you cant just buy a riding shirt off anyones websites, and you have to ring up the shop directly, it seems silly to me, I've looked at numerous sites but can't find any you can order off the web, if you go to any of the push iron cyclo sites, you can order on-line. P.s got my trialsworld friday, I thought it was rather good, lets hope it stays that way.

hey kinell, I've changed all those on mine, to hex heads, so i've got the right ones p.m me if you want details, or me to send you some. sometimes comes in handy when yer dads a bolt supplier regards mick.

Thanks for the info guys.

after the great input on the fork protection, is there any protection made for a rev '3 swingarm, I know they did for the techno , but on lampkins drawing of the rev I cant see any, any DIY specialities you've done would be great cheers all. mick.

Thanks for that guys , went to back cowmn today, and had a longer play on it ( the 270) and decided against the upgrade, it was too powerful for me, good for the steps but for doing the more intricate stuff, felt it just wanted to go all the time, so i'm going to stay with my 250 and be a softy I aint good a rider enough for that sort of power!

Hrc sure your not a yorkshireman in disguise "I don't see the point in buying something thats gonna get smashed up anyway."

Thanks aaron, my 250's standard so i suppose its the "normal" throttle, so i'll try the fast throttle first see what sort of a difference it makes . cheers mick.

reason was bob, bought a brand new '04 250, but rode a mates 270 the other week and it seemed alot snappier than mine, if i flogged mine i'd lose an awful amount of hard earned coin ,appleyards only quoted me about

nice boofont, they'd look even better on a Beta ! hope you lads have permission riding over that lovely scottish countryside ,

hi stu, yeah i did a search on it before ,i've done a coupla bearings before but never on a beta, and fore warned is fore armed as they say.Thanks for the info. mick.

Hi stu , same as you just interested if anyone had done it and what they thought.

hi guys, i've been lumbered into doing my mates wheel bearings on his 98' techno, anyone done any and any tips , hints would be most gratefully recieved...............and yes i have got a large hammer kinell cheers mick.

Has anyone done the upgrade on a 250 to 270 rev'3 and what did they think? thanks mick.

Ta for the input boys, I rang BVM today and apparently there's no difference between the carbon or the kevlar ,just the colour scheme, and that they're on back order,it's going to be a week or two before they come in. go easy at the weekend boyz.
