One in Australia in particular,with a black background and yellow writing comes to mind.

I find the “just got the hang of it all” types telling all and sundry what’s what. Sorry buddy you may have done some internet research on your new-found obsession asnd been on a dozen organised trailrides or where to find the points in an XL175?

so we three had met before then!

Points Mr Blue? what bike had points?!?!

:woohoo: they are on the crank end are they not? behind the magneto?

That is where I would start looking for the points,TB.
Behind the magneto would be a pain in the ares spot to have them.

XY,looky here

Come to think of it, I dragged you across for TT didn’t I??

[drewMember]

Shhshshhshshshs Mick, if you don’t tell anyone i won’t!:cheer: 😆 :laugh: :woohoo:

bet ya regret it now!:huh:

Thanks mick! http://www.mrcycles.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=184043&category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=1977&fveh=4150

on the cam:blush:

[Bruce CurtisMember]

on tappet cover area, left hand side at end of camshaft behind a little cover with 2/3 screws on it sits the points on many of the older thumpers. Idea is the camshaft spins at the right speed to allow points to open and close directly, and because regular adjustment/cleaning was necessary easy access as well.

Australiandirtbikeriders,(frequented by about 3 people these days, good lads but. an offshoot of sme people who decided DBW was not really their scene?)

Trailmates (might not have even posted up there, who knows?)

TT (serious ‘mericans, good for info)

DBW (left after being banned and threatened with legal action then un-banned, ‘dirtbelters world’. tediously longwinded threads about nought really. although the babe thread was pretty good!)

Sandfleas (someone made some plans and shifted some funds. forum vanished. an offshoot of lads that didn’t like being told not to wite swear words on the wlls of TT!!!)

ADBforum (boys that like to colour in pitchers of bikes and talk ad nauseum about how big their powerbands are! Banned something like eight times…fun but)

cycleforums (dunno)

trailmates (dunno)

dirtrider (dunno)

adventureriders (too scared to talk sh1t to them blokes. I’ve seen threads where they talk about carrying handguns on rides!!!)

There are a couple more not worth mentioning and they are just the bike related ones. For a bit of light entertainment there’s nothing like a catlover’s forum or something relating to faeries at the bottom of the garden!

Oh if one get’s the chance they should vist Moderndrunkards.

Trailriderz

Trying to recruit some more Far North Queenslanders to the Old Bull Site

I used to be on DBW but only really frequent Old Bulls these days. Didn’t like the way DBW went and OBT is a much nicer place to be.

I’m moto on both.
