I knew a RSM, nicest bloke you could wish to meet, nobody ever argued with him, even when he retired. I wonder why ?

I take it that it doesn't mean an exceptional Caesar salad then ?

Remember when your truing the wheel that as well as the side to side run out, the up and down run out. Adjust the spokes by small amounts. Tap them with a spanner or similar to see if they ring, if they don't its a sure sign they're slack. Also look at this http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...hp?articleID=98

As in "your tackle is Beezer" said Bertie Wooster to his gentleman's gentleman ?

Thought you were married ?

Congratulations Gaz and Mrs Gaz & Gazette. I watched my daughter being delivered bu c section, not for the faint hearted. We used to go riding sections together when she was about 3, her sitting, me standing. Ah memories. Like I fell asleep at the wheel and crashed the car. Your going to be tiered, so be careful. And enjoy.

I've had condensors that would work or 20 mins then fail, and work again when cold. Halfords or any motor factor should be able to provide something similar. If it wont fit in its original position, move it. I think there is a post on Montesa re siting.

Almost defiantly condensor.

It is a trial bike thing that happens to many, but not all, bikes. Start and warm engine, roll bike forward and put into gear, ride around with clutch in, usually works.

In road racing, lack of engine / frame no's get you kicked out. The police, I'm told got to race meeting in civvies and admire the bike in the car parks etc. Apparently with some success. Unfortunately, if a bike is stolen as a donor of internal mechanical parts its not so easy. Maybe wiring and sealing motors, with receipts for repair parts might make a difference. None of this helps trials I know, but the less attractive these sorts of thefts become, maybe they will move on to something else. I was repairing a window at a flat that had been broken into a few weeks ago, nothing they thought had been taken, very little mess. The thieves were not interested in i-pods etc, only lap tops. Sat navs are also desirable, you have been warned. As GrahamJayzee says, it wont stop joyriders, and a new generation is born with monotonous regularity. Edinburgh does have a center where offenders work on bikes, repairing, building etc. Unfortunately this is almost a reward for stealing, though better than continuing to offend. Apparently, alot of offenders stop when they reach 16, and can be held to account. This may also be down to female distractions etc. Maybe the government should insist that all bikes are fitted with one of those devices that can be activated when its stolen, some Police cars are fitted with tracking devises. I believe that JCB fit tracker as standard to their machines.

Interesting, people complaining about the aesthetics of this frame compared to the likes of Sherco, and Neo is posting that his Sherco frame keeps cracking.

I was speaking to a local bike repair business and they think Chinese bikes are fantastic ! Been keeping them busy since they appeared.

To spray aluminum with lacquer etc, first it has to be etched, this I believe is a mild acid. Then your final finish should stay on.

Trouble is, once you've been eating hormone beef, you need a bike over 500cc to move you !

A friend in the area has received an e-mail from the police advising of the theft and asking for information. Would love to have a look at the data base being used to send out such info, and if its being targeted at thieves ?

How to post photos. I use photobucket.com to host pics then to add them to the post i just hit the little button with a photo on it, second to the right from the smilys. then when the box comes up asking for the URL give it the direct link URL from the photo. this is the direct link URL for this photo:http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk448/ggprotrialer/hotdogs.jpg Courtesy of Redneck

Triumph triples designed in the UK are now acknowledged as leading the sports bike class (600cc), Quote MCN List of components look quality. From comments about changing main bearing read on this site, being able to remove an engine in 45 mins might be a relevant point. I know which one I'd take between a Xispa and a Greeves.

Oh, I just read what you said. I'll go now.

Anybody read the comments after the first clip ?

Thanks pedronicman, thats the one. I will forward it on to the Police.

Dont like the sound of this noone character. Agree with much of what you say, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Anybody got a picture of one? Air cooled Rotax, white tank (orange at bottom) and frame. Side picture if poss. Thanks Ross

Defiantly try this first.
