zippy

Quick update. IT'S ALIVE AGAIN Left Original Right Fan from Helixparts Fan blades direct swap The new one had threaded mounting holes. so I drilled them out to 6.5mm like my original fan. Also slotted the holes like the original. (made inserting the rubber grommets easier) Bolted directly on with the original hardware. The electrical connection is exact same as the original, just plug and go.

I just think it is funny that the site owner is member #20 not #1 I want to be member #666

NO NO NO ZIPPY HATES SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! I am merely comparing my God-like physique to that Jolly Ole Elf of the North. (We look quite a bit alike, except he has more hair) To kick my ass I believe Biff would use his trusty method of merely stating "Don't be a pansy, you can ride up that 16 foot vertical cliff, just give it more gas" And the that I am would think "Well, Biff says I can so therefore I can" And when I crashed he would just say very simply "Not enough gas, try again"

than that would be either an annual family reunion with much and "Hey ya'll watch this!" being the phrase of choice for the day. or the usual antics of teenage children. (Of which they pay for repairs)

Firstgear, I am overwhelmed at the amount of concern you show for my well being. I know you made at least one Advanced section that you said "Zippy can clean this one and will make all the other 5's worth it." Sounds like the sections were reminiscent of when I was a youngun in the early 80's, sections that the really smooth riders would excel at. I am still alive and kicking. I have a new fan on order should be here in a few days. Basically my competition season is over for this year. (I am using the economy as my standard reason) Really sucks that I am done competing this year, but next year I expect will be much better. When I get the fan put in I will at least be able to practice and have fun, and stay in some semblance of shape. Still that shape is mostly round

let's see bad global economy, an over priced piece of Trials Iron, Might have helped if they were selling them in the US. (probably not much in reference to first point of economy) Would it be horrible if Honda did absorb montesa? The Montessas are Hondas with a different name anyways. About the only reason to retain the montesa name is nostalgia from "The Hayday of Trials"

Brand new $50 Just remove the metal housing and looks like the mounting holes are exact. Hope this does not violate advertising in forums rules.................................I might get a spanking

Those have got to be THE STUPIDEST spectators in the world...........................Hey let's get a group of about 40 of us and stand on the track at the bottom of this hill, and when the race car comes we will all try to get out of the way!!!!

That Bike looks NICE!!!!!

I have yet to take a drive or ride somewhere and not look at all the section opportunities on the side of the road.

With a trials specific helmet the back area at the neck is usually cut up higher, that way the rider can look up easier. Ventilation seems to differ between individual models of helmets.

After taking the fan off, the blades were all wobbly and hitting the cage. so I think it was a shaft issue. OH well, just gonna break down and buy the proper fan someday.

Well I was happy for 20 minutes. Apparently the computer fans are not quite robust enough. Biff had it on his bike for a while and then I transferred it to my bike. Took it out for a test ride today and about 20 minutes later it was fried. Guess I will have to just have to break down and buy the proper fan. but it was a fun experiment.

Not sure yet. The owner of local bike shop says that some of the off road KTM's do not come with a fan for the radiator, and the woods riders (slower more technical type riding) outfit their bikes with computer fans. I just gonna be happy to ride the silly thing again. (Until I break it again)

gate system as I understand it. So may be a bit off. There is 1 section. At different spots in the section you are given different options. (let's just say 3) Easy, Hard and OH ****!! Each option is given a point value. Easy = 1 Hard = 3 OH **** = 5 for each gate (option) you complete you are awarded the corresponding points. For instance there are 4 spots in the section where you have the 3 gates (options). You choose Easy, Easy, Hard, and get real crazy and do OH ****!! You have earned 10 points for section 1. Here is the catch: YOU MUST CLEAN THE SECTION TO BE AWARDED POINTS. one dab and you lose it all. Same scenario but you dab on the OH **** gate (option) you now have a 0 but if you would have done the Hard maybe you would have cleaned it and earned a total of 8 points for section 1. So some strategy comes into play. And he who has the MOST points wins. Hope that is correct and clears it up.

I would like to send a BIG THANK YOU to my good friend Biffsgasgas. He put in the time and effort of Research and Testing of the Computer Trials cooling fan. And then he was kind enough to hand one over to me. He took it right off his bike after a very fun day of testing it. And it looks really cool when running with the red led lights on it. (maybe I will get a vid of it in action.) Attached it using welding wire wrapped and twisted around the fan housing and radiator Now to finish up the other cleaning and lubing things and go play.

But we would all have to get used to "The guy with the most points wins" and that would totally destroy my explanation to people that trials is like golf............ Yep I being a smart I kinda like the gate idea, opportunity for big reward if rider does it right, but if make 1 mistake all points for that section are lost.

Already been done with the Xispa...................and look at the reception that got.

My Sherco is dead, (Fan motor gone and needs other normal wear bits) so no more events for me, I will be working the Bent Fenders event. I have my trusty Honda TLR200 Reflex that I am playing on, but that is about it until next year. Hope Ya'll have fun!!! Next year I am gonna come back and just ROCK the MOTA events and place somewhere between last and first for the year.

At least the picture is all feng shui and balanced.

Only if you have a smile on your face before, during and after riding. Cuz it's all about the fun.

Photo????? I still no see a Photo!! Blindness is not a sign of steroid use........it's that other thing mum warned you about.

TFT would that be you're final opinion on the topic?

Here's a good site
