Trials does tend to minimise those knee rebuilds too, if you wear your supports!

As a warning to those who are unfamiliar, many years ago when I was young and dummer and disk brakes were becoming the in thing, I was truing a front wheel and had to reach for the left fork leg as the wheel was spinning. Suddenly there was no fingernail on my index finger as the sharp edge of the rotating disc had grabbed it and totally whisked it away in an instant! Quite a shock! Looking down at the remaining bloody red pulp, I almost passed out!!! And I was totally unsure of what would happen if those things were ripped out by the roots, would it ever reappear? Yes , thankfully they do grow back unless your nailbed is severely damaged, took months, quite tender the raw meat is! I still rember that!

I knew they were paying that webmaster too much, oh well the only good news is that MichLin is no longer BANNED! C'mon Andy, time is about up anyway, just change the screename to MichDick, do the toungue thing and get it over with, it is ok!!!!! So what if hell froze,

Both of Ryan Young's training videos are very well done and generally considered to be the best about. Of course if you want a live school, there will be one here in December! Feel froggy?

The RYP site supports a forum and tech help. All are welcome I do believe! I have not posted there, but may well start. There may well be some good general discussion start up there as it IS a National ( as compared to Regional) site.

Will Ibsen did some fine riding for a second overall(on his new friggin Gasser), Jump Will, Jump!!!! City Trials found the only shady spot!!!!! as usual!!!!!

Yes Zipper, I am talking about thermal shock!!! It may take a few cycles! You don't have to go far, just stick a bottle water in your buttcrack, do a couple of 4th gear stops with the front brake, and douse the front disc with a bit of the water. It should steam off!!! Try it a few more times! A note, if your pads are saturated with fork oil it may not work! I have soaked them in brake cleaner and saved them though! The dual pot front caliper was not generally that bad, they do work, but the 4 pot is better I suppose. Last one I bought was about $100 to convert the 1.25. I have a good used set of Galfer pads for the dual pot sitting here, but they will cost you a fiver if you want them sent! PM me.

Show me the dosh!

Show the dosh and we'll tell you why!

This one it titled "Smage rides off into the sunset with the money"!!!

Yes! Hho told YOU????

Zipper, You need to shock it.

Cabin #5 is already reserved! And airing out!

I was told this week by a reputable source, that one former world champ had ridden the bike and found the suspension comperable to a '98 model bike!!!!!! Probably much like my old Scorpa Easy, or Beta Techno I would think, but lighter!

The "generator" just has to spin to make power, the ignition must be triggered at a proper time. Sounds like you may have a bad trigger coil on the stator plate. Ck the thing "keyway" anyway, but start asking about for a buddy to loan you a good stator plate to test it with, as I know of no other way to tell for sure! It will make a difference if it is an old or new setup on your bike too! Ducati or whats the new one Lionelli?

Norm, I think I will have to try and burn you a CD of these pics!!!!!, Craig too!

The Sherco uses conventional 2-stroke oiling by fuel mix. Rode an '08 this weekend, feel really good but bike was not set for me. Subtile improvements each year! Plastics are much different!

You would do even better to stop hugging the swingarm and get your feet out a bit on the pegs!!!! Seriously

No prob Craig, but as I took today off for the return trip and goofing off, I just got back!!!!! I'll get some sorted, I think there are quite a few!!!!

All I'll say is you don't see any tan lines on that grapefruit sized thing!
