  1. On what do you base this opinion?
  2. ..and they have launched it twice at a classic show, said they have spent

    Xispa

    At this price it may tempt someone http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/09-XISPA-250R-GAS-GA...32#ht_500wt_956
  4. Unless they buck their ideas up and sort it out so it doesn't resemble a Sherco I can't see enough sales, nostalgia won't be enough in 2010.
  5. Obvious question maybe, but are you a thatcher?
  6. Don't take any notice of what is said if its in the us their fuel is alot different. Shercos came with 36 way back and they went better with 33 on the dellorto. Think my 250 in o7 had a 34?
  7. A Class Evans -luter 23 Sadler 36 Short 37 stay 56 Howells 57 B Class Walker 12 Stones 16 Roberts 18 Bolt 20 Birch 22
  8. That, with respect was not the question.
  9. Very very hypothetical, as the bikes are so good now as well, but maybe having seen pat up close in the wtc a couple of times, 25 years or so?

    so what happens to scorpa?
  11. Justins a bitch but he didn't have to prove it!
  12. Now it may be me but no garage? Does that mean he lives in a flat? Bedsit? Ian if you need a sub mate pm me, or if things are bad I've got a shed here with a bit of room? (for the bike not you of course!)
  13. I can't understand whingers who bemoan this and that and can never see the positives of our great country. if its that bad emigrate!
  14. Agreed the head steady is poor. The forks are cheating surely? Dellorto carb?
  15. i used to rebuild mine and still have a box in the shed with some new seals. They are easy enough to do and its usually just the seals. If you are sure the rods are straight i'd have a go. (don't mean the gassed ones of course)
  16. nope they all vary.check the slide though
  17. have many riders got minders?
  18. Set the points gap at whats reccomended (look in the manual) think its 16 thou then set timing at anything from 2.5 upwards. You can go to 3.0 and its worth having a play. Although the points need looking after the electronic ones cannot be set how you want it afaik
  19. not too sure on the nedle without looking but make sure the floats are set as weak as poss ie it runs out flat out in fith on the road and tweak it a bit back from there. St the tickover at about four beats to stop then mess with small adjustments on air and it should be a tad rich at the bottom. Make sure the slide doesnt have a step in it
  20. Just got my tickets for the event from the cash machine. Yep cash machine!
  21. Its a myth. People from Hartlepool were knowledgeable seafaring folk who would know a French man from a monkey, and there is no official record of such a hanging.
  22. my wife had one six months ago and is still struggling to walk, you need to make sure you follow the physio and from everyone we have spoken to its a good few months before you feel like you've done the right thing. much worse than a hip apparently.
