Fine, If bespoke forecasts are not good enough............ try the thread entitled oi Slapshot

That can be arranged.... Our latest guidance suggests a general change in the overall pattern. The hot humid weather we have had will drift into Europe bringing a more normal westerly airstreams however the transition over the next few days should be interesting. What does this mean; take the waterproofs folks. Friday/Saturday Patchy out breaks of rain possibly thundery into Saturday morning. Warm humid night Saturday Warm and humid, rain pushing east but occasional thundery showers developing as the day progresses. Breeze increasing during the day. Temps up to 22 Sunday Similar to Saturday but far fewer showers. Potential for a lot of sunshine and temperatures pushing back up to 25 degrees but feeling less humid. Be very unlucky to catch a shower after lunchtime on Sunday Like every weather forecast this could change patterns fairly complex at the minute, I'll keep you posted

fantastic how many of these do you think they had

yeah yea rub it in why don't you

Weekend weather looking interesting, from a professional point of view of course.... Still looks warm 22-24 degrees but more chance of showers right through the weekend. (you don't want to be there over the next day or two, up to 30 and thunder). Two different weather systems converging on the uk, both likely to kill each other off but it'll still increase the number of showers over both days. I'll get a better look at the models tomorrow at work...watch this space

MULTI millions, Heath, thank you, multi millions....... in that we get this: Two NEC SX6 comprises a 15-node cluster with eight processors per node. The vector processors within each node share a single 32 Gigabyte memory and have a theoretical peak performance of 8 Gigaflops. The combined 2-cluster SX6 has a total peak performance of 1.9 Teraflops with a total memory of nearly 1 Terabyte. (Flop stands for 'Floating Point Operation' - or arithmetical instruction.) Used to be a pair of Cray T3Es, but the were not quick enough..... Great for a game of space invaders at night Okay, Looks pretty good to be honest. Temperatures well into the upper 20's for most of the weekend though a chance of mist or patchy fog on both Saturday and Sunday morning. Very little wind (apart from that generated by forum members present ) but a very slight chance of thundery showers later on Sunday. I'm back in here Wednesday so I'll stick an update on then. Still jealous I can't get there

well...seeing as you asked nicely (ish.....) Just come on shift, give us a while I'll have a look at the model stuff for next weekend. d

bout a quid and a half each...NGK BP5ES, think the BPR are a bit more pricey...

Hey Scoobs you have something else in common with Fujigas now, he ride a 4RT as well mopping his brow......

brilliant

One trick i used, old one mind you was to file off the sharp leading edges of the shoes, took away any snatchy feeling. I could never rid myself of the spongy feel no matter how hard i tried or what I did. I always found that when I took the hub off to clean it after a trial the shoes and hub liner were always glazed don't know why, it would always atke a rub with a bit of sandpaper to clean it up properly. It was once suggested that the spongy feel was primarily down to the cable and cable stretch. I never solved it, maybe it's one of the reasons I sold it on

....and there was me thinking you were halting the discussion before it got out of hand.......nice pic

And apparently there is a local "gang" trying to find the thug to give him a "make over" ...all Scots I might add. In all bar very few moronic cases, I think most of us were disgusted by that...

elephant polo

Okay, Had a wee look last night when I cleaned her after the weekend. No flywheel weights that I can see. White throttle body, I think thats the quick action one, I probably wouldn't know the difference anyway. Suspension: Mines is "heavily" alterted to cope with my substantial physical problems........I'm a fat git...so preload turned up high both front and rear, back end stiffened up a bit more on the compression damping as well, seems to work okay, didn't bottom out over the weekend but its still nice and pliant, Tyres don't know what's recommended especially with a tubeless rear however I've got a 5 in front and 7 in back, again seems to work okay Can't think of much else

That's not nice Mr Bigfoot........

From above: The "English Sun" and the Hitler/anti German stuff a few years ago round another wendyball tournament, we all do it, not just the Scots Every country has a few nutters who take the banter too far, it's always the same. Similar situation around the Welsh and Rugby, best mate is Welsh and holds the theory don't care who wins as long as they beat England, basically, don't tar us all with the same brush. Gaelic was outlawed, like the wearing of Tartan, Scots carrying weapons, etc, etc as part of the treaties around the 1707 Act of Union between England and Scotland and following Culloden, 1746, the language and it's speakers were ruthlessly persecuted. I have no personal gripes with English people, I married a woman from an English family (the accent fooled me ) but there are times when the old, historic rivalry comes out whether you like it or not. We are not all the same

First trial on the Beta on Saturday....fantastic. Could tackle things without worrying if I'd be able to get sapres for anything broke!!! great fun, really enjoyed myself

Sat listening to the reactions of Saturday's wendyball game after a trial. (Scottish classic weekend, Trial sat afternoon classic scramble sunday)..one group of scots listening to our left and a big English contingent to our right. I bet analysing the cheers and groans was much more fun than watching.... Can't see the excitement in wendyball, big bunch of overpaid prima donnas who fall over a lot and cry when things don't go their way...

the factories are maybe seeing the benefits that Honda/Montesa have gained by having a recent top line rider kin Amos heading up their development. Hope it works out for Marc, he seemed a different character in Fort William this year not the grumpy aloof tirder he appeared at the top of his career but funnily enough he seemed to be enjoying it, hope it works out

Hi chaps, Engine/Tranny oil for a 250, best suggestions....what's best to use 10/40W or something like that all suggestions welcome. Ta D this has probably been here before, just too lazy today to look back

Any I had a hand in in years gone by, based on 4 laps of ten as was the norm "at home", we'd aim for three toughies that would challenge everyone, three easyish ones that even the real dabbers could have a good go at and the other 4 in the middle, reasonably straightforward for the better guys but might pull the odd mark but hard enough to challenge everyone else. Always seemed to work okay I suppose it depends how many you want to take off riders during a trial. Personally I don't see any point in taking any more than 10-15 marks from the winner and then again you don't want you less able riders losing so many marks they want to quit. Fine balance needed with this but and it's a big but, you make a huge amount of work for yourself laying out half a dozen routes for a trial.

Thanks for all the replys so far.. So would Sandifords be able to confirm 05 or 06 if i contacted them with a frame No ? H.. Hughie, Would think so mate, they are the importers, you can cetainly check frame nos on the Beta site..you going to Thornhill???? Cheers Donald

How much innuendo can you get in one post.......

way you ride it won't matter .... Got rid of the gasser yet H, D
