  1. My SY250 exhaust has gradually become noisier. I guess this is because the packing has been lost in the rear box.

    Is there anything that can be done except replacement? Also is there a repackable item available?

  2. So Hamilton is immature.. what about that spanish W****r named Alonso, all he has done all season is moan moan and more f*****g moaning about how he is not being treated like a world champion in the Maclaren factory, I think he is a bit pi**ed off with what cold be classed, as a learner driver whooping his ass. Then when he only qualifies 4th, he throw s the teddy out big time by throwing his helmet about in the garage and apparantly taking a door off its hinges, even the commentator was taking the p*** out of him.. Yes very mature !! I suppose its everybody elses fault that he was not quick enough...

    IMHO i do not belive Hamilton was to blame end of story !! If they are too close to the car in front when it brakes, and they can not avoid the car in front, then maybe they are to blame for being too close..

    Maybe we should put indicators on the cars so the car in front and behind knows when it is overtaking, oh and what about safe braking distances and giveway signs!!! This is supposed to be racing for godsake, not travelling on the country roads...

    With regards to the investigation in to the accident, i think it was disgusting that 4 days after the race they was investigating the accident, it should have been delt with the same day or Monday. And before Hamilton said what he said that with all the politics and sh*t that had gone off , that it was some where he may not want to be , I said to the mrs a few hours before his comments, that if i was him , if they was to punish him, i would f*** off to the Indy series and put 2 fingers up to the lot of them. Bernie even acknowledges how much Hamilton is doing for the sport. IMHO I believe Hamilton has conducted himself very very well, better than most , espcially for his age.

    I think when a top class driver gets a ride in a top class team, i think they call it TALLENT Spotting, they signed him when he was 10, how many other teams 12 years ago had a 10 year old on their books ?? Not many , if any i guess . Well done Maclaren.

    To all the Brits on hear slagging Hamilton off, why don,t you like most other countries do and just get behind your own people and be patriotic for a change :P

    .

    Rant over for now :blink:

  3. I went from a Montesa 315 to a Scorpa sy250 over 2 years ago.

    After 2 Monts which I liked very much the Scorpa was very different to ride but I adjusted quicker than I did between the 98 and 01 Montesas.

    I have found the build quality as good and never looked back. As stated by dfwilson, the linkless rear suspension is a bonus as it works superbly

    and is maintenance free.

  4. Always better to go for a later bike if finances allow in my opinion, assuming the choices are in good condition.

    I had 98 and 01 Monts in the past and the later bike had significant improvements.

  5. Although the Beta is a good machine, my son has had a Beta and a Scorpa and the latter definitely in our experience

    comes out tops on build quality and reliability.

  6. Thanks Big John.

    I did guess this as previous years it has seemed impossible to see any results after the event until the TMX publishes them. :wall:

    I would not dream about using a bike SSDT week as I very much agree with what has been said on TC recently.

  7. Ug, even sorer today, was on the bike for hours last night. Just exploring, finding steep things to go up ;) Juggling work(outside all day in the hot sun in boiler suits and wellies) with my obsession with riding up things on the bike in the evening really takes it out of me!

    Even sorer in boiler suits and wellies - I just don't know where this post is going! ;)
