steve fracy Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I do remember part of that Jay. Broke my toe if I recall. MUst have blocked out the part about you riding and Italjet! You are rapidly becoming my heroe! Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I got a report today that the Italjet is at Dennis' house parked out in the yard. I intend to retrieve it asap. I understand I owe a debt of gratitude to someone who had it in them to haul the Italjet back from colorado nationals to California, where Dennis got it and brought it all the way to Oregon. It is remarkable to me how trials people are so great! I am truly grateful to be associated with such a nice bunch of people. To whoever hauled that green bike all the way from Colorado to Californie, Man you are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 If anybody wants that Italjet, it's about 1.5 hours from me. I could pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Very loosley translated from the latin "don't let the b******s grind you down". Doesn't stack up though, as there is no tu and the *******o is actually present in latin. Edited June 17, 2005 by Nigel Dabster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 The kickstart being broken was predictable but otherwise seems in good nick. Nigel, Charlie, I can't remember the U2 song (Acrobat? Achtung Baby was the CD, shuttup Bigfoot) but it was (is) a really great song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 1991 Achtung Baby, Acrobat. I think its a working class saying which had the latin loosley applied to avoid the profanities but hey who cares, great band album songs.

jaylael Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 KTM96Duke, Welcome to vintage trials riding! I hope you have a good time. That Italjet looks pretty sweet. Looks like you will be needing a kickstarter, airbox, and some cosmetic parts. I understand there are a couple of places in UK that still have a few parts around. (any ideas guys?) I found my Italjet to be a fine bike. Try not to worry about negative comments. They only reflect personal opinion. I once had a 300 Fantic which I detested. I don't go around bashing them, but I guess even a negative post is better than none. It has been riding season here, so much so that I don't feel like hanging around the internet. My best advice is ride the bugger. Push start it if you must, and ride it! Good luck and let us know how you get on. JL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm96duke Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 thanks for the welcome! i plan on using the bike right away-will build an airbox out of titanium sheet.will see if i have anything to use as a kickstarter-if not i'll try finding one. can't wait to start riding and getting in some competitions. will be a nice break from racing vintage mx.
