  1. Whats the bet this e-mail originates in Nigeria !
  2. I have to agree with copemech, based on experience riding other peoples bikes which always feel like the bars are twisted etc when you get on, and yet within a few seconds you really dont notice. Just my opinion.
  3. My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she sees and says to me, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And then the fight starts .....
  4. See trialsbits.co.uk for info.
  5. Differences between men and women. NICKNAMES If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in
  6. Have a look at www.trialsbits.co.uk dont know if they will post to you but worth checking out as some advice there also.
  7. Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful. Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed. In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room. She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?" Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?" "Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

    Advisory

    A boy asks his granny 'Have you seen my pills Gran, they were labelled LSD?' Granny answers: 'F**k the pills, have you seen the dragons in the kitchen?'
  9. The TL125 had many faults, but it was my first bike, got it new from Edgar Bros in Edinburgh. Had many many hours of fun on it. It was very economical, even with lowered gearing, and nice and quite, enabling me to go places where I shouldn't have been. Have never been on one since, mostly because I think it wouldn't live up to the rose tinted memories ! 60t sprocket improved it off road, but made little difference on road !

    If anyone watched Charlie Boorman & Ewan MacGregor when they got a BMW welded the ABS etc didnt work afterwards because they didnt disconnect the various electrics ! Gas Weld ?
  12. Has anyone tryied the B40 alloy silencers advertised on this e-bay site ? http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Race-Supplies-Dir...5QQftidZ2QQtZkm
  13. Did anyone practice in Blackford Quarry (completly off limits now) probably late 70's early 80's ? It was a great place and very popular at the time. If the name sounds familiar to some , its situated on Blackford Hill , on the opposite side to where the SSDT finished before it moved completly to Fort Bill.
  14. In my humble opinion, its got to be the modern 2stroke oil. I have a 20 odd year old bike, head has never been off it. Run it on 32:1 old fashioned 2 stroke, yes it does smoke a bit, the rest of the problems reported when using these ratios of oil just dont matter to me.
  15. Are both bearings the same ? if so take one as a sample and the bearing shop should be able to match it for you. Personally I would use a grinder (very carefully) if the bearing is well siezed.

  17. [ I've swapped front rims in the past by taping the new rim to the old with all the holes lined up. Slacken the spokes right off, then move the spokes across one at a time, doing the nearest side first. No doubt someone will say if this is not possible with a rear.
  18. My cheque and entry form were returned 7 days ago as entry full, if this helps.
  19. Have you checked to see it there is any chrome left in the hubs ? As you will probably remember it had a habit of flacking off, in the UK environment anyway.
  20. Trials should replace the horsey sports in the Olimpics, at least all the bikes could be the same, so only the rider would count. (this should offend a few)
