So do Betas

I would love to but...........How do I explain the plane ticket to my missus?

That was a great Fooken read!!!

Don't we all?

Worse case = Crankshaft seal bad on the flywheel side and sucking in air, with choke on more fuel is delivered and less air, sorta evens out the extra air being sucked in the crank seal.

Got my Alpinestars Mid-season last year. Comfortable right out of the box. I wear ankle braces, more as a security blanket now than actual need, and they fit in the boot nicely. Light weight, grippy sole. My foot stays on the pegs nicely. The Alpinestars are slightly taller than the Gaerne's that I had and this changed the placement of my knee brace slightly but is still comfy. I do not feel any vibration, I also ride a sherco.

That's BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!!!

That is entirely possible. After the stupid bone heals it is possible for us to reinjure it, and them it will eventually heal again. And then we do something stupid again and again etc....

But it will heal............eventually

But not nearly as much fun.

Watch the tumbleweed roll by......................

I wouldn't mind taking on a Spanish speaking Lass, Should be a good time

Totally MENTAL!!!! But great to watch.

Them guys are REALLY good on those twinshockers!

OH for Christ's Sake..........buy a damn bike you like and ride it, and people have said that U.S. trials is confusing.

When I was a youngen my dad made a kill switch similar to that out of a set of points for when we did parades. The points were held apart by some non-conductive material and that was attached to our wrists by a string. All pretty low tech but very effective. Not sure how well it would work at high RPM's.

2 ways: 1 don't ride it. 2 spend much time and money to keep it all pretty. Welcome to the wonderful weird world of trials. It is a bit of a mental adjustment when one realizes that this slow speed sport is more difficult than it seems. But it is OH SO MUCH FUN!!

I assume this is a puncture in the rear tire. There should be a couple of tools with the kit, a sharp pointed poker thing and a hook thing. Basically what I did is use the poker to kinda ream out the hole. put a dog turd in the the hook so the whole unit looks like a T. Slather the turd with rubber cement that came with the kit. insert hook and turd combo into tire (the "sides" of the T will fold back so it looks like 2 turd sticking out) so that about half is sticking out. pull out the hook and by magic the turd stays in. trim the turd flush. worked for me, there may be other methods.

Problem solved. We from this point on should vow to never dab again. We will keep our feet on the pegs no matter the situation. That way when we crash and collect our 5 we will be able to do so knowing full well that there will be no confusion as to the score. And then I can get the observer to sign my cast also.

Straight from the MOTA handbook (come ride with us we are fun) Section 5. Scoring Practices a) The following scoring table shall be used. Point losses are not cumulative. The rider shall receive the point loss value of his worst error. Points None (Clean Ride)………….…….……….…..0 1 Dab* (Foot rotation allowed).….……….….1 2 Dabs……………………………...…….….….2 3 Dabs or more (including sliding of foot)…...3 Dabbing one (1) time while stopped………….1 Dabbing two (2) times while stopped…..….…2 Dabbing three (3) times while stopped….……3 Moving backwards……………………………...5 Failure……………………….……………….…..5 • *Dab - Contact between the rider’s foot or any other part of his body and a supporting surface or object. • *Dabbing outside of section markers shall be scored the same as dabbing in the section My personal opinion on dabbing while stopped is that it is a 5, but these are the rules we have and they are not horrible and I get to have fun.

Think I am getting about 14 to 15 with my 2002 GMC 2500HD Sierra, 2 wheel drive Extended cab with 6.0 Liter V-8. But on a side note I generally do not drive it everyday, I have a small car that I run when I just need to get from point A to point B (30 miles/gallon) The truck is for truck stuff, hauling bikes, wood, moving logs etc......

If you are riding very poorly and do not have the $$$ to replace the tire, then you have a worn out tire. It makes for a very convenient excuse.

Advantage to doing it yourself is a month of evenings away from the wife.........
