Classic Dirt BikeIssue 19, to make engine quieter, (page 32)you need - "closely matching primary gears & hone the barrel conically so it was tighter at the bottom than top"

Just a thought - how do my cars brakes work so well when I didnt go all the "conditioning " ?

To hi-jack the thread slightly, I have used the talon rim locks on 2 bikes, and they look very pretty, and probably last longer - but I dont think they are ant better than the cheap ones at stopping the tyre moving ! Any thoughts ?

You seen the adverts for short term loans ? 1748apr !!!!!!!!!!!!

You see a lot of old Rockshocks about, still going strong as all parts are available. Dont know anything about Falcons.

Get a room.. garage.

Sadly not a typo, my underlining.

Gene pool ? You mean swamp ! Check the scooter & round about at the end. (yes its been a slow day)

From pre65 debate forum ! tandon kangaroo I have owned a tandon kangaroo trials for the last 25yrs it has an early monoshock type rear suspension that is fitted beneath the engine ;just a bolt thro a cylindrical shaped lump of rubber a nice if not crude piece of 50s engineering . Anyway my question is about the fuel tank which is can any one tell me is it supossed to be chromed in any way? cheers

Looks like a poor design, not much meat. Be very gentle with the replacement !!

All fair points. But do the flashy moves you refer to, conflict utterly with the ethos of the sport ?

Possibly means the autolubs not working anyway. Close call ??

Except the House of Lords.... yet.

Another advantage to pre mix, which Tony mentioned, is that you can set the ratio, as opposed to whatever the the pump was set at. Which was probably nearer to 25:1 in that era.

Hope not, looking forward to another rant !!

Its an air brake, silly.

Fiddler crab ? Like this ? Of course in America they must have the clutch on the right !

You must have hands like a bear if you find early eighties clutches suitable in standard form for one finger !!

Was the Bantam engine British ?

Quite common on Bultaco's, timing as said above. Even more fun when your half way through a section and it does it, well fun for anybody watching.

Can a week on holiday ever be to long ?

Have you ever wondered what the difference between Grandmothers and Grandfathers is? A friend, who worked away from home all week, always made a morning available when he would take his 7-year-old granddaughter for a drive in the car for some bonding time aka, just him and his granddaughter. One particular Sunday, however, he had a bad cold and just wanted to stay in bed. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out in the car. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see how her Grandfather was. 'Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?' 'Great, Grandpa,' the little girl replied, 'and do you know what? We didn't see a single t*sser, blind bast*rd, f**k-wit, d*ck-head, A*ian pr*ck, w*nker or a t*wel-head anywhere today!'

You need to spread your wings, must be another event at that time of year that could benefit from your photographic expertise !
