    Personally, I have a fettish for the ABC format with an easy line for entry level(or disabled) riders in the club trials.

    Na, just a wide beam laser, shotgun effect! Easier to hit things that way!

    As I recall,my '01 still had the thumbs up logos on the covers, yet i do not recall anything related to Sherpa T, and it was still Sherco by Bultaco.
  4. H'mmm, RunnerUp! 2 total posts! Obviously you don't get out much! You notice I did not say anything bad about Clive, (although I did repeat his buddy) other than the GREEN thing! I'm glad to see him out riding! I really do wish we had Gernhart in that race! I think the "No Jive Little Ball of Hate" could take him! That stuff is just an ass kicking! How's the F&*%ing Montesa, Dave! Miss you guys!
  5. Standard forks, looks like the Kiehin on it though! He is a quick study for sure!
  6. You and Craig need to race! That is som ugly green stuff man! I liked that quote "Hey Clive, you just got passed by a girl!"
  7. You gotta love this one!!!!! Company Memo ________________________________ FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: October 1, 2009 RE: Gala Christmas Party I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM. Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees! Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patty Company Memo ________________________________ FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: October 2, 2009 RE: Gala Holiday Party In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on, we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now? Happy Holidays to you and your family, Patty Company Memo ________________________________ FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: October 5, 2009 RE: Holiday Party Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody? And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy. REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED. Patty Company Memo ________________________________ FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director To: All Employees DATE: October 6, 2009 RE: Generic Holiday Party What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours.. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work? Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table. To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms. Sorry. We will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food . The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first. There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts. Sorry! Did I miss anything?!?!? Patty Company Memo ________________________________ FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All F*%^ing Employees DATE: October 7, 2009 RE: The F*%^ing Holiday Party I've had it with you vegetarian pr*cks!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes.. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW! The rest of you f*%^ing wierdos can kiss my *ss. I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die, The B*tch from H*ll!!! Company Memo ________________________________ FROM: Joan Bishop, Acting Human Resources Director DATE: October 8, 2009 RE: Patty Lewis and Holiday Party I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery from the institution and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay. Happy Holidays! Joan

    I called him and he said it was going to snow tomoz,so you could not see all that! In reality, that is nothing more than a minor energy release that balances things out with our own counter dimention, no big deal, happens all the time. Simple string theory. On occasion, we do send someone through the wormhole in that manner, and they just seem to disappear or evaporate from here, yet it does require a bit of energy to get these things done. Gets rather messy when they shat all over the place. Not to worry!
  9. Yes, Phil is correct in that as well, and that part acts as a sort of ratchet mechanism in the process of rotating the drum. I was not quite going there as yet, but it still needs to be inspected. Inspection should tell!
  10. Good to here from you, Steve! Hope things are going well and getting back to normal, and you all manage a happy Christmas after all the stuff going on. Best to Eric, get well soon, as you got some new bikes to try out soon!
  11. That is just too cool! Shan is a great fellow! Always friendly and full of life!
  12. Laia rode my bike!

    If you only knew! A small can will be quite helpful in spot cleanings and such. If you get a car that has saturated everything in oil it is a mess to clean up just to get an idea where it is coming from! Yes one can get a buzz! On average , I go through a 55 gal drum in about 3 weeks in the shop, at a cost of about $650.00! Every oil change must be cleaned of residue, or god forbid someone get a spot on their driveway! If it were not for people like you, I would not have that problem! God forbid you ever develop a bad gasket on your drain plug, as you would probably want to make that my fault as well. And let us not even get into the fact that your worn out POS was leaking even before it got here! I need to stop now! Need another buzz!
  14. copemech replied to stumpjumper's topic in Sherco
    Twit! The rim should have no extra holes for the tubeless tire.It should have a center recess of about 3.5mm for the sealing band. You would be well advised to find a mate that knows these and get them to seat the proper stuff! You may want to invest in one of the new rim bands with a built in valve stem!
  15. If you have no return from the up position going to 2nd gear, it does sound as though the return spring may be broken. And if it is, you need to retrieve that before further operation as well. Pull the clutch cover and clutch! And be sure to properly scribe the position of the clutch hub retaining nut and shaft so you can put things back easily!

    It is a bit of a prosess and you need the proper flywheel puller and some other stuff. Let us know how you get on!
  17. copemech replied to caddabs's topic in Sherco
    It may well load up the muff with excess oil and gunk for sure! If we can run the experts and pro's on 80:1, I simply doubt you would need more to be better. Then when you might make a hard run on it and really get some heat into the muff, fhich you do need to do on occasion, it smokes like crap with all the excess burning off, not good! Average punter can safely run 90-100:1 with no problems!
  18. Got mine from DKbikespares.com , seem really good!
  19. Sounds as though what you rode was similar to what we might do as an alternate event. Great fun for most, yet it is difficult to keep up with the +- thing. Just how it might be done in Spain may use the stricter rules, in which one dab on anything is a bust! Yet it may still yet offer lesser point optopns for lesser riders within the same sections. Having just reviewed some of Bou's videos, to be honest, I am not sure that I could set sections for these guys? Just stupid! Not here anyway! TN is another story.
  20. I think that was the Xispa!
  21. copemech replied to buchanan84's topic in Sherco
    Unfortunatly, your easiest trick is to ck your wireing and earth points, pull the kill switch, ck the plug lead, then find a mate with a comp bike and switch some parts! If yours is a late '04, it could even have a Leonelli system with an integrated coil/cdi unit I think, otherwise it is Ducati! If all else fails, it is likely the stator plate will need fixing by UK Motoplat or something. You can look them up, Steve has some info online! In Spain!
  22. copemech replied to chr155_d's topic in Sherco
    Glad you got it sorted with the basics. In a way, you just have to remember that sometimes you can suffice with a quick blow and go cleaning, then at other times this will not suffice a seems the smallest of particles can fowl your efforts, yet if you have the extra few minutes, disect it an d blow through everything to make it perfect and clean enough to eat off! Typacally lasts longer that way too. An arisol can of brake cleaner from the auto store can be a big help as well, and good to keep on hand.
  23. All I can tell is that I have been running the "BRAKING" pads, and they doo seem to work better than the Galfers when wet. Mind you, these were installed as to minimize the noise issue with the wave rotors(by Braking as well), yet there are tradeoffs is seems. The Braking pads do seem to be less noisy, and offer improved feel and progression, yet I have yet to find them equal to the Galfers in dry operation when you want that wheel to stop NOW to do a bit of a rear hop and such. MY finger memory still has a problem with that!
