Hee-hee...you's right ishy..Had a bit of a ride around myself here in a black rain-storm the other day. VERY funny....even fell off more than I usually do. Still its good practise for when I get to ride in the UK!

Thanks Wiltshire boy and Richy...will try to get some plastics for the Aprilia soon! r2W..you're bike is FAR too shiny..(I'm only jealous!!)...you'll have to let me put some more scratches on it for you..or maybe you'll do it yourself! COLLY...thanks...I reckon the yellow looks good eh!...BUT ..it is a crap painthjob..(done by me)..if you look closely. But luckily its a bit far for you guys to come and have a closer look

Looks like a 4RT too!!..you lucky guy..nice new bike eh!?..you cant be spending all yer dosh on the beer then!

Mmmmmm...rolling backwards...yep..I know all about that. BUT not with my feet up unfortunately.

HOndaRS....sorry, I should have said earlier, that the front pipe is only about 3 months old..and at that same time I also repacked the rear exhaust...but NOT the middle. ANyway...have taken your suggestion on trying 80:1....and will also still try to get someone to help me check the woodruff key soon. Will keep you all informed!....thanks again everyone

When is it??...sorry..probably a bit of an ignorant question!!..seeing as its such a famous trial. Probably WAY too difficult for me too,,,but at least if I'm back in UK by then, I could THINK about applying??

COOL pics..looks really good!

Where did you source white ones Richy??...my dads Climber is the purple/yellow/white colour, and I would love to get a new rear guard for him...(just in case..hee-hee)

LOADS of Serrows out here....GREAT little bike. Thought it was a 220..but, whatever.... Surprised you have them in UK. Never seen one there.........anyway..getting back on topic!!...WHen is the Scorpa due out?? I reckon it'll be pretty good!

Yep..you's right!

Thanks everyone. I know the coolant is Ok...and plug is OK...but I will check the woodruff key as soon as possible, and clean exhaust..I will also try using less oil. I use about 70 to 1 so maybe a leaner mix like you suggest HondaRS will work. THanks again STU

Waaaaaaaah!!!!!!!......panic..that sounds serious?? And I wouldnt have a clue how to get at that woodruff key thingy..but some of my trials mates would (luckily for me)...so I'll maybe get them to check it. Thanks for the idea Petedad....keep 'em coming folks!

And this is what 'er looks like from behind Its the view I'm most used too, when I'm running after it.!!

And here's my Rev3!!!!!!!! The paint job looks like poo from close up...just did it for fun (yep I was bored one night) on an old mudguard. Having said that, I still reckon the 03 Rev's should have had a yellow rear mudguard. PROPERLY painted I reckon it would look better than the standard one??

Hi all, I guess this is not really anything to worry about, but suddenly (last week) my exhaust started going blue...hopefully you can see on the pic. I guess its obviously? excessive heat that makes it do that?? But just wondered if it means the bike is running too hot or something?? Any advice/ideas greatly appreciated It is often about 30 degrees celcius here, I run a Champion N7YCC plug, and its often about 95+ percent humidity also!!! Bike has plenty of coolant in it. I'm using REPSOL 2T

lol nice story!

BUY IT!!!!!!! You'll NEVER regret it!!

Quite a few of the parts are dated..as Beta boy says..and often the year previous...ie on my 02 most of the dates are 01 ALSO..kinnels point is a good one...the 02 bike has a "piggy back" reservoir attatched to the rear shock, and the 03 onwards does NOT. Otherwise ...unfortunately,(although fortunate for swapping parts etc) they are pretty similar, and there seems to be quite a few people changing their plastics on them..but hopefully some of those people..(and hopefully your guy too)!...will tell you the real truth. I think that price sounds pretty good to me..although I'm not really in tune with UK prices. Hope you get it...I think the Rev3's are a great bike

Well done guys...you still look more in one piece, than I would if I rode for six days!!....I think its fair enough that one of you is already asleep!

Congrats Sam...you's a top man and a top rider!! Hope you've got a darn good hangover after all that hard work!

I went off line because I didnt want to run over the snake! Its TRUE..it actually happenend to me!!!,.......OH and my speed suddenly increased too.

Is Jarvis on the Sherco 4 stroke????...I know that Pons WAS before it had an electrical problem.

Yeah...come on Sam..after a few? injuries during last years WTC it would be nice for him to get the win eh!

Thanks Jools, I'll pass the news on to my folks...although they JUST told me its unlikely they'll be near Llangollen now, after all. Cheers anyway

Thats a real shame...what kind of bike was he on??
