Chains, Wd40 & All That
Raga uses Iris chains but changes them frequently. The big advantage of them is the fact that they have so little drag, unless you do big stuff I think they are a distinct advantage. Hrc has had no problem and he is steady on the throttle. Not convinced by the wd40 thing, surely duck oil would be better as its more oily? Boiling a chain now that takes me back, definately the best way.

Fajardo - Beta?
Was that the way it happened? Thought Steve was victim of Honda cutbacks? Fantic was the best of the rest?

Acu Training System
Alexz Wigg is World Youth Champion 2006, I think you mean the main series. I very much doubt if Alexz Wigg ( Ross Danby Lee Sampson or any other youth riders) have cost the ACU anything this year at all, let alone Joe clubman, I just don't see your anti youth policy has any foundation in truth. You only have to look at the number of youngsters clambering for Alexz's autograph at hawkstone to see that he is doing a great PR job for Trials in general. He will be doing the same thing when he goes to stonleigh too, he is approachable , talks to anyone and can ride a bit too. Why do kids play football and wear the club shirts because the stars do. Hopefully a few will get converted and it will mean another generation of riders coming through. Who doesn't know the name of rooney? Whats he won?

Ok Time To Get Shot At. John What Is Or Should Be The Acu Position On Bike Elegibility Specifically Pre65 And Twinshock
This is just typical of someone who has been brainwashed by the red tops. Just the same as the government is putting up taxes etc, no, its our government we voted (majority of course) in to do our bidding. We are the ACU, if you feel strongly then do something about it get it raised at centre and national level, you me him we are the ACU.

Acu Training System
Of course you can help others its just that it must be done informally. Just the same as Chris has a qualified teacher at his school who has spent 3 years at college learning how to impart knowledge how to handle kids lesson planning administration and the like it would not be acceptablefor a trainer sanctioned by the ACU not to have fulfilled a minimum level of health and saftey first aid etc. I understand that part of the ACU trainers training is based on observation of the trainee coach. Once a trainer has done these things in theory he has the potential to go out and train your kids where you can be sure that he has the basics of care and responsibilty satisfactorily suitable to look after someone elses children. Surely there is no short cut to that?

I am sure the orignal manufacturer thing came in when the sebac series (as it was) had a certain eastern centre rider on a monoshock disc braked model with two shocks, so its definately been around a while.

Message For Mr N Dabster
174 vw window van with side doors both sides. SWB with 2 & 1 rear seats which clip in and out. The seats are heavy but easy enough to get in and out. We got 3 bikes in at the weekend easily and three comfy seats as I only ever have 2 seats in the front of my vans no bench for 2. This is the best van I have ever had, been having this size vans since 1990. Bedford midi, L 3oo , VW T4, Vit 113,2 x vito 112, now VWT5. Best things are criusing speed/acceleration, quietness solid, economy is ok and touch wood as reliable as anything else. Got put off the new Vito by a few things, and thought my vw was a lttle more van like in some ways, but having driven back from spain in one day 1000miles plus, would not choose anything else. have I missed anything?

Sherco Pulling 4th Gear?
I had shercos for 5 years and only ever managed 4th in a section once. Mostly I found that it didn't matter. I now have a gasser, look after it, bits don't fall off and the gearing is much better.

Katy Sunter Well Done!
I think that there was alot who thought she couldn't do it. When I showed her the line on section 69 she looked absolutely Knackered and completely drained, but very focussed. She rode it well and we calculated then that it would be tight for her to finish in time, I think it must have been will power and determination which got her to the finish. Feisty!

High Geared 290
Not too sure if it was the 02 thought it was the 03 which they geared up slightly 1st. never bothered me too much, if you never ride on the road youcould change the front sprocket if you feel it needs it. Compare it to tanother year as they went back to previuos ratios.

Tennis Elbow
Had it in both of mine, physio cortisone rest and acupuncture all helped and now with care it seems to have disappeared. A good physio and themuscle band helped the most.
