I think 50% or more suffer from this a one time or another. I found keeping the wrist warm and supported helped. Boots sell a neoprene type support that's a bit like a fingerless mit and goes 3 -4 inches up the forearm.

Whats it made of ?

Area completely, power washers aren't quite as bad as washing your bike in the sea, but a close second.

Why doesn't Scorpa relaunch as a bank, that also make motorcycles. It should then be entitled to endless amounts of public money.

Last trial I observed at some of the riders thought stopped with foot down is a one. It was a no stop trial. So under the new rules ???????????

In the past when I clicked on a topic the answers came up as an abbreviated list, now everything comes up in full and I have to scroll all the way down to the bottom. Any one know how to change it back ?

This is the supposed radio conversation of a US naval ship communicating with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Radio conversation was released by the chief of naval operations on 10-Oct-1995. CANADIANS : please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. AMERICANS : We recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision. CANADIANS : Negative, you will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision. AMERICANS : this is the captain of a US Navy Ship, I repeat divert your course. CANADIANS : NO, I say again, you divert your course NOW. AMERICANS : This is the Aircraft Carrier USS LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet, We are accompanied by 3 destroyers, 3 cruisers, and numerous support vessels, I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees to the north, I repeat that's 15 degrees to the north, i repeat that's one five degrees to the north or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this fleet. CANADIANS : this is the off shore Newfoundland lighthouse, your call !

How many hours into the project so far ?

You in the UK Have a look at trialsbits.co.uk they only do Castrol I think, but worth a look.

Whats your gut feeling? I know from personal experience / hindsight, that I should have gone with instinct.

Do you get any warranty with the bike ? Dont know the dealer, what reputation do they have ?

Switch the petrol off, leave it to dry out, try starting it without putting the petrol on. If it starts then put the petrol on. You will have to strip the carb to check float level etc. Should be plenty posts on here as this is not an uncommon problem. Good to get help if you havent done it before. Work in a clean area with plenty of light, you will drop something. Take your time.

First thing I would rule out is the slide seating fully. Glove our the exhaust will also slow the engine down, if not kill it. Would resist the temptation to stick it in gear and kill it that way.

How much do you subtract from the real price when your wife asks how much it cost ?

Interesting topic. Regarding rear end rising or falling under power, must affect grip. There is a lot of talk elsewhere of fitting longer shocks to tighten up the steering, this must upset the relationship you have mentioned for the rear end. The chain touches the top of the swinging arm on my B40, wore two groves, then bedded in. Its probably a little over engineered anyway.

Might accidentally hit the horn switch in a section.

bifsgasgas - your right, you cant let air out a security bolt, or blow the tyre up with it either. As I discovered last night!

I will need to check the description, but the capacitor (big blue lucas) is much larger than a conventional unit. As you say, it discharges when the points close, but if the plug is out it has nowhere to go. Worked for me.

Do hair straighteners work ?
