Added hint/tip, most proprietary glues can be neutralised by good old WD-40 whilst removing grips so they can be reused, another one is the BMX lads have some awesome grips in their market and the handlebar size is exactly the same……

My daughter has from a pushbike outlet the exact same checkered grips I was using 30 years ago (she’s into retro) on her racebike, they no longer provide them for Motorbicycles but do for BMX bikes….

Been dealing indirectly and directly with Pro-greens for over 20 years now, lost 3 jobs because of their activities, been named by position and deeds in NSW parliament by the right Honourable Lee Rhiannon in the cowards castle for stuff she would not dare utter outside that privileged sanctum for fear of libel and being shown to be a charlatan and in the ensuing bungle got the chop from a hard-won career 2 days before Xmas with a 8 month pregnant wife and 3 yr old and a new mortgage. So basically what I am saying is very few would have reason to dislike them as much as I and my ilk, however that is too lose, we need to understand their motives and drivers……
And it IS alot more basic than growing dope in national parks although there is a degree of that within their ranks.
Mostly it is intellectual arrogance, highly educated in many esoteric areas, they are quite oft led by professional power-mongers and zealots, confornt this in a civil and logical fashion and they can be seen for what they are, non-scientific ego driven emotive packs of wolves whom are so convinced we need to be changed from our evil ways as we are uncivilized in comparison to them.
The majority of hard-liners are almost identical to religious zealots, think of it that way and you can find ways to discredit their half-baked emotional guilt trip addled cries of foul…..

THANKS ye olde Blokes… was just another number on the odometer of life….

but Michael is indeed correct 1965 was a good year for the people of this world…

and a year that would be very hard to better…..

bit of an interesting take, I think I work in the only place where on your birthday you have to supply the cakes…… and suddenly all the diets are on hold………:woohoo:

[Bruce CurtisMember]

LT80 here, run it at 30:1 or thereabouts.. great quads, Brenton flogs our stupid and still it comes back for more….

[Bruce CurtisMember]

WTG Olde Bulls, what a bonus weekend for you blokes, Mick you’re a legend me old china….

well one of many anyway….

loved the comment on the YZ V XR…..

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Mick I reckon the other (unseen end) will be all corroded and it will be an uphill battle, so while it is that far out, sorta cut a little slot in it with the dremel then using the back to back nuts wind it into the swingarm, and take them off and wind it all the way in into the swingarm itself, should be somewhere you can them wiggle it out, or just leave it in there……

BeeCee

really good bikes they can be made into real firebreathers apparently, know of a bloke who had a few in sucession and apparently knows all the tricks, he hangs around DBW goes by the name of Nutty Professor…

apparently some of the RM stuff is a direct bolt-on.

good choice, a series of bikes that should have been continued…

I’ve just logged on, ain’t riding this weekend, the warlock beat me up too much last weekend on our ‘rumble in the jungle’ ride that got a bit hardcore and left me with a severely bruised tailbone….. so here I sit before i go and perform the choicest of chores… removing the barkers nests in the yard from the last week… three large hounds= poop by the tonne……:S

so I am pretty quiet too Eags

second the crowbars, I have a few sets of goggles(:blush: ), and the crowbars are my favourite

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Ok, was talking with Coley funnily enough just a few hours ago and we were having a joke about rim clean, and I am halfway through putting a new MX-Cross Comp on the front of the warlock, as the dunlop was past grippy stage.
anyway you look at the tyre/rim junction area, and if there is around 3-4mm of clean shiny rim where the tyre has been flexing or rolling onto, for most east coast riding this is the spot…. the rest is clickers, constant footprint/cushioning on the tyres & leave the suspension to do it’s work.

Been using it for a while and will attest it is the best system for off-road riding

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Coley a former grafton lad showed me this a while back and he is right, it is the best way to keep a constant footprint irrelevant of carcass, tube type…. here he is giving the good oil on it over at the public bar

Check out the “rim clean” technique of keeping a constant size footprint as PSI means diddley squat between carcasses and tubes and different bikes.

All of my riding mates use this, my dunlop carcass needs 8.5psi to keep a constant footprint, whereas a mitas might need 6psi… etc

So what did it say?

I need a laugh today.

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Wintersun eh Mick?

the festival started by the people of the tweed, then incorporated and taken elsewhere, anyway Elvis, Buddy Holly et al are regular performers at that festival as it always had a real fifties theme to it….

rock’n roll dancing, old cars, hot rods, shiny chrome everywhere and wall to wall brill creme…..

Sure you aren’t an Elvis fan TB, had you pegged as a possible closet rocker…..

now that would be intertesting

Yamaha Australia put the feelers out, but the mothership in Japan veto’d it worried it would detract from their thre other adr’d offerings
