I'm in...great idea! I think it's important to keep the DVD youth and club level oriented as an introduction to participating in the sport. Can you post an address so that we can send you the pre-payment?

Duct or Duck?

I'm famous!

All pics seem to have disappeared from my card. I have tried quite a few undelete programs and cannot get these back. I have been able to restore deleted pictured on another card but not after it was reformated. It appears that the card must have been reformated in the camera by mistake. I bought a card reader to access the memory without the camera and this didn't help either (faster access to the memory though) Camera: Fuji S602Z Memory: 128 MB smart media Undelete Programs tried: PC inspector SmartRecover Photorescue Pro Imagerecall2 lite RecovermyFiles2 Zero assumption digital image recovery Any suggestions?

My 1979 model 199A is left foot shift as was a friend's 1978 model 199. Both were equipped with a spline shaft on the right side as well (shifter shaft runs through the transmission) There is a also brake pivot mount on the left hand side of the frame.

Hey Ron, Do you know which Canadian round is the NAMU event?

The best split markers that I have seen were at the Youth Nationals, TTC. They use an 8.5 x 11 cardstock printed with a red arrow on the left side and a blue arrow on the right side. Every class was marked on every set of arrows to eliminate any confusion. Under each arrow were the class numbers that red/blue arrow applied to. Cards could be split in half to mark the outer boundaries using either the red or blue arrow.

20mm ground shafting from "Metal Supermarket" about 200mm long with square sharp edge on one end Warm the opposite hub a bit with propane torch Tap the sleeve and bearing out with the shafting Pop the seals off your new bearings (6004-2RS, not 6004-ZZ) and fill with grease. Replace the seals Tap bearings in evenly on the outer race with a large socket Done, 5 minutes later

I thought so as well, but it's only longer footrest brackets. The back of the peg is just in front of the rear tire as on the 315.

Red plastic silver frame is model 199 Blue plastic and blue frame is 199A (mine) Blue plastic and white frame is 199B I'm interested in that list Nigel!

O ring must be in place at the bottom of the needle jet holder to seal to the bottom of the bowl. Otherwise you won't get any control from the main jet.

No, the fox shox are red painted steel bodies with white and blue springs I'll see if I can fit one on the scanner!

Didn't have the camera handy...scan of the tank attached! BigJohn, can you post a pic of the top FIM decal, mine's a bit worn off!

Sounds like my Astro van did when the catalytic converter was plugged!

How's that list coming along?

I've got fox shox on my 199A too! (not for sale either)

My 199A has a natural finished blue plastic tank with the lettering painted on. (not for sale) But I have seen some pictures of a glossy blue plastic tank. Is this a paint job over the plastic and factory original? Mine is original as I pulled it out of the crate myself.
