  1. got a canon fs 100 video with sd card, but when I put the card in the computer to read and play back it gives a few second max then stops, start again then stops and so on. what am I doing wrong?

    Plays ok on camera screen. Help

  2. Yep, can't argue with that... he'll will be a real threat again this year in his class, especially as he'll no doubt get some training in with the likes of Raga and Dibs (or should that be Dabster?). A change of bike is bound to lead to him going up a gear... good luck to him - he's one of the WTC stars of the future for British trials fans.

    Training with Raga, are you serious?

  3. You know how it is, these young lads like to follow there heroes, well its just that I've never grown up but you knew that anyway.

    There is other logic to my last two purchases but its not that interesting really. Don't forget I had 5 Shercos before my first gas gas.

  4. I think he could use his new links to Sherco and spend a bit of quality time in Spain training with a few mates! Might take a few arrangements, but?

    The thing is, he is soo good, well every bit counts! :thumbup:

    thats what pat needs

  5. Wiggy's second card score was 2...... Bloody brilliant given the conditions - ice, ice and did I mention ice. Although so was 11 for the first card.

    He had a 3 in mick Danbys section 18 I think, becky cook (who was riding well) got up the bank where he lost it, so should have been less. It looks to me that the 4rt has made him work harder on the bike, he was justifyably very happy with his first competitive ride, but still alot to do.

  6. The economic outlook isnt great but I think society suffers from the 24 hr news channels

    If you have 24 hr news programmed in then the news reader needs somthing to say. For this reason I think in recent years items have been over reported, the same message getting repeated day after day, hour after hour.

    When thats bad news on the economy then it reaches more people and affects consumer confidence to a greater degree which then makes more bad news ! ie people get the message on house prices or the limits on borrowing so spend less, this effects sales, the drop in sales gets reported etc etc

    Turn the news off and life isnt so bad

    Christmas was great but I wish it lasted a week as its hard to fit everybody in.

    next year I'll buy a 4rt and start it up then that should clear out the neighbourhood !

    Absolutely 100% right. (cept the 4rt bit!)

  7. If you have an old car bottle jack, you can wedge a piece of timber between a door jam and the tyre then jack it off the rim.

    However be warned, if you only have a foot pump, you are unlikely to get the new tyre back on the rim without a compressor.

    You can get a bead to re seat with a footpump if you have a beader.

  8. Surley not paying vat & reclaiming vat are different ?

    If your not vat registered what would the situation be?

    You pay vat you reclaim it, period. But you must give them the difference of what you recieve.

    Which could lead me on to how someone not a million miles away from the trials world cottoned on and actuallly bought a roller thenks to HM Customs vat reclaims.

  9. You didn't pay it in Belgium as you have business interests there and you claimed it back against purchases (which isn't the same as not paying it of course) or you just never paid it and then never paid it when you brought it into the country?

    didn't pay it there,have no buisness there. couldn't therefore when back in the uk pay it to anyone as the van vat free was purchased from a belgian, ie no one to pay it to.

    However when I registered them, both required signing a seperate sheet to say I would "account" for the vat in my returns, think again I gave my vat number. So I never actually "paid" vat at all.

    What I can't work out is how some dealers in spain can send bikes to the uk vat free when I had to jump through a few hoops.

    Personally without a decent warranty I would never buy a trials bike this way its not worth it. Second hand I wouldn't chance it.
