We all know the true value of our elected representatives !

Ordered another one from trialsbits about 3pm yesterday, delivered this morning. How about that for service.

Have a shot on a pre65 4stroke, them tell me its heavy. They seem to get lighter the more you ride them !

Soft brass wire brush.

Yes, at the manse.

I'm not old enough to know (I wish)

Two it is then. Bought a Talon rimlock and thought I might get away with one, not worth the risk. Thanks all.

How many do you have on the back wheel, one or two ?

send 2 and sixpence

I will have to be more through when oiling the air filter to rule this out of the equasion. Reading Stork955's point about "clearing 2 strokes out before a section" my bike cant be burning any more oil than a 2stroke so I think I should be concentrating on carburation first. Ross

Miss read that as "I've already had you down my britches"

Thanks for the info. I think its a combination of both as I use different carbs for events (Amal pre 65 Scottish, Kiehn rest of time) Definatly uses fewer plugs on the Kiehn than Amal, but still getting the jetting right so it might improve. I can feel when the plug is going "off" about 5 mins before it expires. I use a foam air filter and getting the same amount of oil through it consistently probably doesnt help. Ross

Generally considered to be a better quality bike, which in the longer term / resale is important. Got a loan of a friends and ridden it twice, really impressed, cant fault it. Alot of brand loyalty on here, so you have to make the decision. Also depends on the price/condition.

Harvey Nicholls were selling "distressed" Barbours for

Any way of telling if its a rich mixture, or burning oil, thats killing plugs ?

I only made the comment as programmable traction control seems to defeat the whole purpose of trials.

And Bombardia ?

Agreed, its just that change doesnt = improvement.

I cant wait for ABS and traction control, some of the other "improvements"

Warranty claim. I wouldnt be spending money on a 4 week old bike to cure a problem like this, if you hav'nt touched the carb and done anything that could have caused the problem.

No, but the ability to adapt to different conditions was rider controlled rather than rocker switch, it was part of the fun.

When I was a lad that was called a throttle.

I'le post my entry tomorrow (pre65) How about a few more. Ross

Wayne When do you do any real work ? Ross
