  1. Not a lot really, middle box is slightly different apparently and front pipe is now chrome. From what ive heard they dont ride any different.
  2. Got meself a go on 04 200pro at todays trial, very light, was pretty good to ride, very different to Scorpa, im really undecided between gasser and sherco, but leaning towards sherco at moment i think. Mr magic, what do you mean by what am i thinking ?
  3. Alright Perce, thought somebody would mention my comment ! I've been keeping an eye on pro's since i made that comment, and credit to Gas Gas they seem to have sorted them out now. Had a go on a 300 a while back and whilst it felt nice to ride it had way to much power for me personally. Still like my Scorpa, just been on one now for nearly 3yrs and just fancy a change really. My only gripe with pro's was the reliabilty issue. I'll have to try and get meself a go on a 200. Thanks for reply's, Dave.
  4. I was just wondering what people out there think of them, are they pretty reliable and have they got enough power for a adult, i weigh 13st. Just thinking about maybe having a change, either a 200 pro or 250 Sherco, any opinions would be appreciated, also how much are 200 pro's ?
  5. The red wheels look really tacky, much better in black.
  6. Dabill looked pretty dedicated practising at the YMSA 3 day last week to me, absolutly awesome. I would say Britain's future lies with him Wigg and Michael Brown, they all deserve help of the factory's and ACU now.
  7. Last time i taped a drink to my petrol can was at the milnthorpe cup this year and some cheeky ba****d drank it, and my can had my name all over it, take it you dont have this problem in yorkshire ?
  8. Dont really think it needed any drastic changes, but i think the silver frame looks horrible. Good idea with the front pipe mind, not keen on the older one's.
  9. If people cant observe each rider the same they shouldnt be allowed to observe. If a top rider dabbed in a section of mine but reckoned they never and argued with me they would be given the choice of the one or a five, they'd soon back down !
  10. I've put a few after market parts on my Scorpa, some for protection and some just to make it look a bit different. I've had some people ask why i do it, but if i want to spend money on my bike i will, its got nowt to do with anyone else ! I think my bike looks well for it and plenty of other people have commented on it to.
  11. Well done Dougie, hope u've shut up all the snipers who thought you were finished, just shows in the championship that really matters he's still the main man. The other brits seemed to do ok, especially Shaun Morris. Although in my opinion Sam Connor is well overrated and seems to be going backwards. It looked like a couple of years ago he was going to be consistently in the top 10 but cant see it happening anymore.
  12. Marky G, the TY you saw at the welsh classic is my brothers, and he loves it. As sparky said, if you want anything doing with a yam engine, Birks is your man.

    O4 Sy 250

    Your all right the carb is a pain in the a*** to get out, but i think its worth the hassle as they are so good to ride. I wish i could work on mine in the house but i think i would be divorced in 5 mins !
  14. My brother has tried Birks, no luck there thouugh, will get him to try J K Hirst, cheers.
  15. Yeh i hope Jarvis can stay injury free this year and make it in to the top 3 in the world, he deserves it. Seems to be riding quite well at the moment.
  16. I think he will win the indoor title easily again this year, in my opinion he's the best indoor by a mile. But outdoor i think it will be Dougie's year again through pure consistency and a desperation to beat Jordi Tarres's record of 7 world titles. I think Fujinami will be the main challenger outdoors again, we'll have to wait and see though, should be interesting !
  17. Cant talk for the Diadora's but can tell you that Alpinestar no-stops are great boots, got a pair recently after Novogars and they are a lot more supportive and comfy.
  18. My brother bought a '04 REV250 and at first left the flywheel weight on, i had a go and it was as flat as a fart. He had it taken off and the carb mod done and said it felt like a different bike altogether. Rode another trial with it set like that and decided he didnt like the bike at all, he just couldnt take to it. Got his self a '04 Mont instead now and theres a Beta going cheap !

    Raga Bars

    I know the Scorpa tapered bars cost
  21. Here's the latest addition to my bike, got fed up with burning my pants !

    Clothing

    Just bought some alpinestars waterproofs (jacket and leggings) and they are absolutly brilliant. Got some Sealskinz waterproof socks as well and not a drop got through at the weekend in the becks at bootle's trial, they come up to my knee and it was the first time ive had dry warm feet at a trial for years.

    Fuel Mix Ratio

    Strawberry flavoured, your not supposed to drink it !!!!
  24. Don, just a bit of advice for tyre pressures, ive messed around with a few different ones now and ive found 5.5psi in the front and 4.5 in the rear works best for me in most conditions, hope this helps.
  25. It goes quite a way round the hose, i think it would be hard to split it anyway. I used to carry a spare hose at trials just in case but ive sold it to a mate cos ive got that much confidence in the guard.
