June 27, 201511 yr Author Both ... I'm in croft so Col 10 mins from you and Al 5 mins from you when you move to culcheth. Give me a shout if you need anything or advice, I may be able to help. Oh and just about to upgrade my 2005 250 so if you want to try out a gasser before you buy let me know. Cheers coops
June 27, 201511 yr Author What price are you looking for Gasser, think it might be a little out of my price range at the moment?
June 28, 201511 yr Hi mate, getvthe gasser yesterday! Had a bash today over some pallets/ logs etc is awesome fun! Bike needs a bit of tlc, mainly bearings all round, front brake pads and clutch drags so needs fluids changing as a first port of call. Any advice from anyone also could be good? It's a 2000 txt 250? Cheers guys
June 29, 201511 yr Author Looks like you done well on the bike there mate. Got another experience day next Monday at inch perfect. Can't wait for that. I'm gonna take my time looking as I need to sort everything else out as well. Got to either buy and shed or hire a lockup somewhere. Gonna cost a small fortune but saving hard so won't be too long I hope.
June 29, 201511 yr Yeh am well pleased with it! With a bit of work it should be a great starter bike. Good luck with finding a shed and bike. Maybe see you at Frodsham on the 2nd Aug!
June 30, 201511 yr Good to see you got sorted, looks very tidy for its age. For advice suggest you just do some searches on the gas gas forum as every bit of information you need is probably there. For fluids and clutches these have been done many times and many different opinions. If you need something specific just ask and you will definatley get the information or specific advice you need. Good luck and enjoy it, that's the main thing! Col - not really thought about price yet, but message me if you want. Hopefully see you both at the next Frodsham Trial!
July 12, 201511 yr Author I have purchased a bike this weekend. Cheap and cheerful. Bit of a gamble but looked ok to me? Hopefully not too many hidden problems. Boot and gloves on the way. Helmet also. Just need and towbar and rack. Then I think I'm mobile. Now I need to find a place to give the Bike a proper test, any suggestions?
July 13, 201511 yr Hi mate, what bike did you get then? Let us no when your up and running. I'm just doing some bearings and getting clutch sorted on mine, it drags a bit, then ready to go.
July 15, 201511 yr Author I have a 1996 Beta Techno 250. Just need to give a run somewhere to see what needs doing to it. do you or anyone else know anyone in the Warrington area that would take a look?

July 15, 201511 yr Looks great mate! Well I have a fairly basic practice area at my place. My mate is coming down on Sat with his new bike, a 1992 gasgas. Were gonna have a play and do few bits to the bikes. You fancy coming down. Only across the Warburton bridge from where you are!
July 16, 201511 yr Author Cheers for the offer but i have family up this weekend. Just my luck!! some other weekend maybe?
July 31, 201511 yr 99% certain I'll be there, but am watching the wire tomorrow in Leeds so you never know how that may end up. You taking your bike or just watching ?
July 31, 201511 yr Author Just going to watch. I'm trying to find someone to do a engine overhaul for me as the I want the bike to be checked over etc before I start. Last thing I want is to go out and the bike to be a dud. Lol . If you know anyone please let me know.
