Few of our bikes here have a title! As they are not road regestered at all! Bike looks good!! You should find anything you need at www.lewisportusa.com You will need a thermo switch for the fan. Missing a few stickers, but? Anyone got any more at that price?

Yes it will, as that is the third step of 2mm changes, and yet seems to run OK, but much slower. Seems if you go beyond that the exhaust gets too hot(too much uncumbusted fuel downstream). On the flip side, more advance may induce greater kickback and stalling, not chugging slow well, and usually will not rev out as high. Depending upon the programmed advance curve, it may have a bit more mid, but? And yes at some point you get into preignition concerns. It is all a tradeoff!

Sounds like a bargain reguardless! Any history on the bike? Not a lot around that year, which was the last year for the 2T!

I can only give you a rough guide, as I set my bike to taste, and the numbers are all screwed up. It will drive you nuts! If you have a standard referance point or mark, use that as a base. Due to the diameter of the stator plate, each mm of rotation will roughly equal 1 degree of advance or decline from the basic point. (Think I calculated 1.12 or something at one time) In retard, it normally takes about 2mm rotation to make a noticeable change in performance, while in advance(factory chosen balance), it only takes 1! I would not pass 3 of these steps in either direction(2 in advance), less you may encounnter issues related to either extreme.

Chris,I had a lot of fun on on the wifes 125 at one time, and I still believe there is some virtue in keeping the kids on them, yet fact is I am just getting a bit too old and lazy to ride one at any level that approaches the word "WELL" as you gotta work the bike a lot, yet they are very forgiving at the same time. The new bikes have some major changes! Hope you can keep us posted with your impressions and such! I wonder just how the new suspension works, and even if stuff like rear shock length is the same for those that have their Ohlins in pocket! As far as those OKO's go, I think both Neo and myself are running the floats at about 21.5mm setting. I have had no issues to this point..I would probably lean toward similar with the "K" carb, if only to prevent the downhill surge. Yet I have not played with it in a while.

A lookback through his stuff Does rival the Ozzy! Both off!

The Taser guns work quite well! Will give one an attitude adjustment! More people should have them! Here, if they tell you to stop, you better listen!

Actually, there is some link to it but because the site has changed format, I cannor recall it, Andy will tell, I am sure! Try as I might, I could not find the path to my pics content management on this new system the other day, maybe just me but ? I still get a bit lost at times.

Suffice to say, cost a lot, don't pay squat! I am just happy to see a grand TDN team! These guys are working hard, and this year seems to offer a grand adventure for them to enjoy! Kick Butt! Take Names, Have Fun! Oh, and listen to the Old Man!

Chris, I cannot recall if you have played with the OKO's yet, but the 24 or 26 is well worth investigating unless the kid is ready for BIG WOT SPLATS! You just don't need the 28! On another note, I may well be interisted in that bike come next year if he does not destroy it! As 250's here are still rare, and I still want one. If he is gotton into the destructive stage, I am out!

It is conventional in design, as comparer to the '10 and up. Good bike if well kept, pricee according yet does not seem high to me.

Yea, I need you to loan me the money! I will the return on your cash in the bank and give you 0.6% return on a one year note! Just like a bank!

Since you know soo much, I suppose you can both just go on a shopping spree and get whatever you like then!

Say three hail Mary's and leave dosh at the drive thru communion thing! BOTH!

Yea, 2000ft is rather limiting, yet even that low, it is amazing just how quickly one can get lost! Situational awareness is key! Large landmarks, bodies of water and such help. Trying to find a road or rail track on the map is sometimes near impossible, even major highways seem small. Navigation needs to be tought, and is very neccessary, thus many schools are shy upon even showing things like one might use in common flight. I have that handheld GPS stuck in the panel. It has moving map, all the airport and airspace info and frequencies, and IS TOTALLY CHEATING! It also functions as a backup set of instruments with airspeed, altitude, attitude, directional compass, verticle speed, and turn coordinator.

Looks to me like these guys had a great summer! There is some really good riding in there, and from the looks of it we have some true talent coming up the ranks! Lots of thanks go to TTC, RYP, Harkers and others for all this! Jeez, I need to go visit Harker just to give the old man a razz and ride on the XR's!

You cannot advertize it here in the forums, Rich! The classifiieds will be back up soon!

Somewhat recent experience with the Sherco's and the fuels suggeste this could go both ways, so seals are suspect I would think!

Wayne, it is a lot of fun, not too many things like it. Usually gets my blood pumping! Actually, I think learning to fly the thing is only about 10% of it. Learning to land it another 30%, then one gets off into the realm of other things like navigation, communication, aerodynamics, meteorology, and regulatory rules of airspace usage, equipment, etc. One good thing to it all seems you can apply at your own pace(and wallet). I have known a few professional "student" pilots. Once cleared for solo flight, they can bacically mess about to their hearts content, yet cannot carry passengers. There is a relatively new rule here as well which is called a recreational(sport) lisence which requires far less training and testing, yet is limiting in range and day use only. Only certain light planes apply. Yes, those visual approach lights can be helpful. They aer primarily used for instrument approach once one breaks the cloud base for orientation. It gives you a good indication of what a normal glide slope looks like in angle...yet only select instrument approach airports have such. Once one learns(visually) the basic power settings and speeds for standard approach, then one gets into totally different realms of short field, soft field and emergency landing styles which(depending upon aircraft) are far away from standard slope angles, yet one must be astute to speeds power and angles at all times because your life may depend upon it in an emergengy, which is also why as much as half or more of my approaches are done in different manners for proficiency. Not unlike a trials bike, power management is key! Lack of power a big problem, yet there are ways around most all of it! Always land upon the softest and cheapest thing one can find! At 60mph or less, it is not that difficult!

And such is why many have given up the 4T enduros! ==add MX, how do you say TIME BOMB! Feck that!

That Hurricane is a true beauty! I am sure it has modern fabric on it, so really tough stuff actually. Have a friend of a friend that has a Sea Fury! HERE Spirit of Texas is a good looking plane! Thas is a good looking Trauma Hawk as well, buddy has one just like it that we fly. Seems most planes of the vintage are pretty tattered as trainers! What do they charge there for an hour? The local school at the airport is up to about $95 per hour for a rag bag C-150, less instructor. Just nuts! Do they make you wear that yellow bib? You got any stupid plane/pilot question, I will try to answer.

Sweeet! Hawker Hurricane IIB.

Well, you tried. Do report the findings, please, as things go it may yet help others.

Good stuff! I love that type riding, but one does have to be careful about getting out there alone if anything happens. How is the cell phone coverage?

Quite nice!
