    Over Revving

    With the engine off, when you open the throttle and let it go can you hear it hitting the stop ? If not investigate as above.
  2. When you talk of a "Barbie Summer" is that similar to a Ken winter ?
  3. Hi Pat Must be feeling better if your thinking of getting a frame plated Ross

  5. Personally I wouldn't touch anything until I had ridden it several times and had got used to it's different characteristics.
  6. On refection I think it's a great idea, stick a Triumph twin in a mono !
  7. Are real twin shocks that hard to find ?
  8. I can see how its much easier to forecast 10 years into the future than 10 weeks !
  9. I had to replace all the spokes (in one direction ) on my Bultaco on the sprocket side. Reason I was give for galvanised over stainless was gal' has a bit of "give" quote George Spence.
  10. Seem to remember that the "crazy" Champions riding on the road lived up to his reputation. What happened to the "Paparazzi", is he still around ?

  12. If the grannies internals were as trick as some of the cubs, I wouldn't mind seeing inside their "bloomers"

    Betor Shocks

    OFT I'm a bit lighter, but bike is probably heavier than most, new Rockshocks have 55lbs springs and seem quite soft. Haven't had a chance to try then yet as only got them on Thursday. I presume that the damping rate must contribute to the overall performance so spring rates in isolation are not the whole story ? Ross
