  1. Hi All, Looking for some help here. I've always thought my clutch heavy, I don't notice so much when starting out but by end of trials my grip and clutch finger is knackered. Today a guy also with same year scorpa as mine rode it and he said that the clutch was heavy.We both use the same 10w40 gear oil, but i have a bigger master cylinder. Any suggestions welcome
  2. cheers zippy, Just had the strangest look from the good lady herself , with short satement from her.
  3. The problem i have is not weak wrist it's my clutch finger.Yes i know that i use the clutch to much and not control better with throtle,but i'm working on that.At the end of some trials it feels like there is something stuck inbetween the clutch and bars and i have big trouble holding clutch and bar same time. Am i holding to tight on the bar?
  4. Does anyone else have trouble keeping foot on back brake to get front end round? Or am I just being a big girl again.
  5. Bike looks very nice Hovis,any chance I can put a few scratches on it for you. Noticed you put message up on dai collins site looking for practice area. Coming from Caerphilly there's loads up there for you. Are you sure you don't want me to put a few scratches, or even just one.
  6. Hi, I need help and tipps. I can just about get back wheel around, but having a lot of trouble with front.I can get it whilst practising very small and using clutch rather than back brake.The bike just rolls back.Even when I'm in shed trying, I can't seem to get my foot to stay down on the brake. I any thoughts.
  7. Back to the Question, if your looking for drums. Go to any plant hire or lorry company and ask them for one of they're drums that they use to power wash they're equipment.We have loads at my place of work. They're 200 litres and plastic.Just the job. Happy Days
  8. Seen this on some site and just had to post it Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for the puppies, Dallas and Smokey, at Wal-Mart and was about to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again. Although I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard! WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore!!!
  9. Mickey mouse goes to get a divorce, and the judge says "sorry mickey but i can not grant you a divorce because your wife has protruding teeth." Sorry your honour but i did not say that, i said "she was f$$king goofey"

  12. The screw that you can see at the bottom of the old jam jar, can never befound once you empty the jar.
  13. Last spring daughter was born,so sold ZX6R.Five weeks ago son was born and Scorpa sits in shed.This week the good lady wants new pram. And like the mouse I am today I forked out nearly
  14. Just wondering, what with this new cloned bike out. When, not if is KTM going to add it's weight to the trials world?
  15. Just like to give Merthyr club a big shout for the Welsh club team trials that they put on at the weekend. Three rounds of twelve sections of the highest order. They have a club champions at the same venue in September,hope to get back there. Cheers Merthyr Club
  16. The vale of Towy have a 2 day trial on the 14/15 july at Carmarthen,with on site camping, welsh trials check this site for more details.
  17. Got to agree with Windlestone, just had a pair of Domino grips and they are comfortable.Also moved the clutch lever down, so that you have more leverage on it. Also just get a tennis ball and squeeze the day light out of it. And also get that water down you.
  18. love the video. it just makes me wonder how these guys can just say hollicks to it and just trash the bike. I had a zx6r and just could not put the front wheel up above 6- 12" above tarmac, and that's 35-70mph in first. so how these guys get them up and keep them up i take my hat off (helmet) As for endos Happy days
  19. Hi All, I'm looking for some advice.My '06 scorpa's wheel rims are getting a bit tatty with the odd scratch. Any body know if they can be rubbed back, if so how? It's just the outside I'd like to rub back.
  20. Just wondering what are the best break pads available?
  21. Good tip for not splitting the tank is, to remove the screws and replace them with small pull ties. It gives the tank a better chance if knocked. Tried and tested
  22. I heard St.George was a Turk, not that i'm trying to start any rumors.But kebabs do sell well
  23. First off thanks Billy for your time and patients. I thought that i knew a bit about looking after myself,but you have realy pricked my mind about looking after myself,mind and body. Where can i get the CHEK HLC, localy (Swansea) are they private and what would the cost be (approx). Would like to say that i will buy you a pint but it's going to have to be WATER (mineral at that).
