It's just a good excuse to look at girlies lets be honest, that and to bring out all those smutty childish innuendos, them spanish supository things I did tell you about the .....Daily Distractions

ooeer missus I can see this thread overtaking the Beta Stroker thread

That's just wishful thinking justin.... but would agree to having similar thoughts

You bad boy Mr Grieg ...... Carolyn made me say that but personally have to agree with Maria and perhaps add Gemma to your list......

What plug and mixture you using mate

Knackered the back brake on my Beta at the Scottish, needed a new hose and the full bleed etc one I got it back together. Don't know whether this helps or not but what I did was to take off the reservoir, attach a full (50cc) syringe to the hose, open the nipple and push fluid through till I had a solid column of fluid, ie no air bubbles then nip the nipple back up. Kink the hose between the res and cylinder (as close to the reservoir as possible) just enough to stop any back flow reattach the reservoir and top up with fluid, give it a few taps and any air in the top hose should bubble into the reservoir. Pump the brake a few times make sure your pads are closing and refit to the bike. Should work , otherwise, your hose is leaking somewhere, your piston rubbers or your master cylinder is knackered. CAVEAT.....This was on a Beta Rev 3, I have absolutley no idea of the set up of Scorpa back brake but the actual process might work for you, they can't be that different

I always thought that passport thing was an easy one...... "Carolyn Where's my passport" sorted

I love all these "chats" about the rules, we all lose sight of reality. I think our sport needs to look at it's roots and it's history to see where we need to be. We started at no stop and have moved further away every year. The sport at it's top echelon is nothing like what you and me will tackle week in week out and to be honest that always worries me. My other sport, is going through a big transition just now in Scotland and it's probably going to kill hockey for smaller clubs. The big clubs whose focus is money are pulling the sport away from clubs that don't have the money or infrastructure to follow suit, instead of moving to support the smaller clubs our governing is following the big clubs and the money, they are moving the sport away from us. The mirror with trials is there, how much more is the sport going to have to change in this country to allow our young riders to cope with "The Show", it's where we've all dreamed of being at some point in our lives. Motocross is the same whether you ride club scrambles, classic scrambles, national champs etc, the difference is the ability to ride quicker than your peers but in base terms you still ride scrambles. If the sport of trials is to I firmly believe we need to get the rules back to where we were 20years ago before the hop skip and jump came in, back to no stop. The best riders will still be the best riders but it becomes something we can all attain. A recent thread in Rappers weekly column pulled about 80 responses on the basis of the severity of the Scottish and without hijacking it, the Scottish did what it had to do, find a winner from the 270 riders using no stop rules, maybe the answer is there...... Cue protests

You can get it Mr Dabster, we use the cloth tape stuff on the blades of Ice Hockey sticks. If you have a skate shop near you (you should have in Milton Keynes they have English Premier league teams there) go in and ask for stick tape Hairspray, the expensive stuff the wife uses in the shop (none of you tell her by the way, that stuff's

that's just an age thing Ian.... I was busy thinking about the copyrights of the Shipping Forecast

4th Pic down....now that's a proper bit of scrambling.. some nice pics in that lot

If only we could get some weather like that in Stonehaven, it's rare in the UK never mind Stoney..........mind you I do remember having to dig a shrouded Alfa out of rime ice like that in Germany, an amazing phenomenon if it lasts long enough to create conditions like that shown in the pic.

Now there's a valid point for all of us Seriously, If the FIM are going to allow this then why bother reducing the number of minders, they could have any amount of input if they are on the right channel/frequency, sound a bit daft to me.

Okay, this is getting stupid....1 mark down on the first lap: how is it feasible that Bou has gone from 5th last year to being miles ahead of the rest in such a short period of time???? If you can find what it is can I have some as well.....

....has to be photoshop, Andy's scoob doesn't look that polished

......because I'm technically useless........ Thanks For the replies all of you, I'll post back when she's sorted. What I need to fix properly first is the flippin back brake....can't get it any pressure in it the system, back to square one with It i suspect slainte Donald

Rejetted the Carb, curious to get peoples views on mixture, jets now 27.5 pilot 145 main, how many turns from fully "in"...advice please

Its all to do with balance..... that couple of ounces at the front makes all the difference!!!! randyrat If you've only a couple of ounces at the front ...........fill in your own answers

Mrs Slapshot thinks its a disgusting poll Andy First vote, and I'm definately trying not to kill myself......

......mind you I did notice a few mucky finger prints on the top of the crankcases...and I didn't put them there

Took this at the Scottish and I guess our new Media Star, Professor Moffat, would go in the huff if no one puts it up on here....... ...mind you it is gorgeous

Poor old bugger was flagging towards the end of the week but wouldn't any normal human being. K's bike sounded just like Pasquet's 280, practically no discernable noise difference but it certainly had a bit more grunt. 4t's looked classy at the Scottish and were so much nicer to listen than those noisy Monts and Shercos, they were drowning out the jets that buzzed us all week

This must be some sort of joke? all those comments about the Beta and no you have seen the light! His happy pills have just Kicked in.........

I have to agree with Perce, after two years living in Ripon, Yorkshire bitter is what I'll drink given the choice. John Smiths, Theakstons Best or Tetleys, the early stuff from the Black Sheep Brewery were bloody good: Black Bull in Masham the night it went on sale...fantastic, I've heard it's gone off a bit since
