    Lance Armstrong?

    Fair points, but who was he keeping up with ? It appears he was the one the rest had to match ?

    Lance Armstrong?

    Ok, so you tolerate drug taking, cheating, bullying, lying under oath. Where do you draw the line ? Bit of domestic abuse ? Abusing state benefit ? Racism ? Pedofiles ? Tax evasion ? Horse in your lasagne ?

    March Hare

    I slightly over filled the gearbox on a b40, using a big syringe with a plastic tube on the end I started to remove the excess, you can guess what happened next. Oh how I laughed.

    At that level, if you don't cheat you don't win so its still pretty even That makes it all right then, they should give him back all his tour de france medals.
  5. Interesting bike, fork angle changed ? Bigger stanchions ? Expansion exhaust Hydraulic clutch Swinging arm pivot moved ? Footrests moved Mudguard loop cut Shocks re-positioned Swinging arm lengthened Never noticed it before but tank does look to big Any pictures of the other side please
  6. Melville's entry form has classes for pre65 & twinshocks, trial at Duns. Ross

  10. There are very few "bad" twin shocks, badly prepared / looked after is a different issue. Go with the (expensive) herd and get a Honda / Fantic - but parts are readily available. Some Montesa's are a bit delicate. Bultaco are well catered for. At £1500 you should be able to get something reasonable. Plenty of clubs in your part of the world.

  17. Good photographs, looked a good event / venue. Great selection of bikes including trail bikes ! Fantastic.
  18. Clutch may be ok, the plates stick together on many bikes. normal practice to start engine, push bike and slip into gear, ride with clutch in till it frees off.

    Which Rim?

    The IRC I think is a better tyre anyway, so you cant make a direct comparison, and mono should be a lot better than T/S so dont know what conclusions could be drawn. Just as easy to mount on either rim size.

    Which Rim?

    Hi Guy 185 was standard from about the 80's, I have had 185 and 215 on the same bike and could tell no difference. That's the difference
