Don't change bikes!!!! Just add to the collection

Trials saved my Life!!!!! That's what we need a SLOGAN and an informercial to go along with it. that is how we will grow the sport!!!!!! LOL

Hey Borus, Thanks for thinking of me, I have the same problem as many others this year..........poor economy = less fun. Also have not got a passport yet. I always enjoy the Windsor event, those crazy Canadians always put on a fun event.

Thanks for the info.

Yep can still find my "thingie" can see it very well, and it works perfectly every time. Cope you using performance enhancing drugs? (them little blue pills)

9 trials and then replaced rear tire. does not mention how much practice time. # of trials is not indicative of amount of actual riding. Also some replace the rear tire to entice a sale. HMMM new plastics for a bit of bling, I seem to remember many TC members changing plastics/graphics just for the hell of it and make it more personalized. I don't know what shock comes standard but if it is a different one now, just think how many TC threads are dedicated to changing to a different shock than stock. Dellorto carb to soften power....OK so they went the other way than what a lot of Sherco owners are doing, How many Sherco owners are putting on Kehins? GasGas wheels????????? is their really any difference to standard wheels all I know is monts use a different rim. Give it a chance, go ride one, then if it performs like crap, well than state it performed like crap. If it rides well than state it rides well. At least when someone says Gassers have problems with gearbox their is quite a few that did. and Beta has a carb that p****s like a drunk with bladder control issues at least that has been well documented. montesa 4 stroke is heavy and complicated. Sherco has problems with idle and main bearings Scorpa well they are just odd. Anyways the list goes on and on. I have not ridden or seen one in the flesh so therefore I reserve judgment until I do. The biggest problem I have with the listing is it states "Xispa/Sherco" it is NOT a Sherco. The seller is misrepresenting their bike.

For those of us (me) that are clueless about things happening in the world outside of our own countries...........Who is he, What does he do? Other than Hitler impersonations.

TIMBER!!!!!

OK first off I am in shape.........round 5'9" tall 240 pounds Went to doc. all my vitals........blood pressure, pulse, all blood tests glucose, cholesterol, etc. are all normal He says "You're completely healthy, just need to bring the weight down." Now I admit I am not as pleasant to look at as Brad Pitt, but if I am totally healthy than my weight is fine for the functioning of my system. That is my theory and I am sticking with it. Basically if ya can last the day on the bike and your gut don't get in the way then life is good.

Biff is working on event stuff today so I will attempt to answer the following questions in his absence. Listen Biff, After last Sunday at Stoney, Brockaway, Myself and dazzling Daryl are ready for any MUD conditions, we had to spray radiators out every loop. That's a lot of mud. Biff LOVES mud. Are those cute Flattracker girls riding?I hope so, we need more visually appealing participants to offset the rest of us Will we have a hill side of beer drinking, cheering bikers?Of Course, it just would not be a Bent Fenders event without them Are you going to have the X-BOX 360 with trials in the Biker lounge? I think that is his plan, not sure if it will happen Will we see Zippy Doo Da?If you ask nicely I just might..............................now what the hell is a Doo Da? Ya'll show up and have a good time.......last weather forecast says no rain until after dark. So I hope that holds true.

I have an 86 TLR200 Reflex and a 2000 Sherco 2.9. The Reflex is a fun machine, I have used it as a spare road bike and a spare trials bike when my main ones have been broken. Otherwise it sits in the garage. When I want to ride trials it's my Sherco all the way. If I want to play on trails or my Sherco is broke I ride the Reflex. So my 2 cents are If you want to ride trials and really enjoy it and be able to do the hopping and bopping, buy the best modern bike that your finances allow you to. If you want to ride twinshock and ride with a more smooth fluid style with smaller obstacles get the Reflex. Also note that while the Reflex is street legal, if you crash off road there will be more items to fix, I.E. turn signals, Lights, etc... Also not sure what country you live in but in the states true Trials tires are not road legal, so you may find yourself swapping 2 sets of tires around everytime you want to hit the road, or you will have dual sport tires that do not work well for trials. But whatever you choose, Get out and ride, Enjoy it and never stop!!!!

OH but those Gazelles are sooo damn tasty......especially with a little garlic, sea salt, and lemon pepper.

I did do the fold the end of wire over thing, that is what was cutting my grips. I have not looked for the Mechanic's tape.........maybe worth a look.

That one little piece of kit for trials is the most important part. It is an absolute must for every rider, especially for those that are new to the sport. Glad you are enjoying yourself and you are definitely HOOKED!!!

Oh no Don, we are not going to get your bike dirty. We are merely providing the opportunity and materials needed for YOU to get your bike dirty. It is just one of the many services that we at Bent Fenders feel are necessary to provide for a fun and challenging day on the bike.

wrap bar and throttle tube with electrical tape once or twice (not too much tape) Slosh a little Petrol inside grips Slide them on. On the clutch side I have started to use a plastic Zip Tie to hold the end of the grip down to help keep dirt, mud etc. out. I use the plastic because I tried wire. and the wire ends would either cut into my grips or my hand. (I found that to be unpleasant)

As the Lawyers have advised me to say: "I can only state that I had fun in the sections that I rode last weekend." A couple spots the Throttle is your friend.

OH THE SECTIONS THAT TREE COULD BUILD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I guess I need to pay better attention.

Wife is bothering me to do this and that, she won't stop talking......... I KNOW I WILL GO CLEAN THE CARB ON MY TRIALS BIKE. BRILLIANT

I say that's a real good finish for the first year in the top class. Only direction to go is up!! Now next year the team can work on closing the gap. As they say "Rome wasn't built in a day"

Panerai, Fabulous Pics, I think it is great you are able to do all that engine work yourself. Hope the bike is performing as you had hoped.

Good show by the Ladies .........bummer they were a Lady down. Give em Hell guys and Good luck. I am doing a "Dry Dance"

AAAAHHHHH.............I see Umm he never really got around to getting that video before he gave me the fan and I blew it up. So I will take the blame on that one. but he purchased the same fan I got from Helixparts. but he bought his fan first, (yep I am a follower) But the Helix fan was not a direct replacement for his gasser fan, He had to do some tinkering with it.

HUH???? Ya kinda lost me there cope......................Not sure where this ties in. Ya have too many Or I may be a bit daft.
