Sorry Ollie but after meeting her and her shcool friends before she got real famous and having to put up with her in a ski lodge for a week I have to say she appears almost transparent and characterless to me.

But she is very attractive.

The real talent was Maryanne in Gilligans Island (Ginger was also transparent).

AB you miss quoted me, I say she is very attractive.

I also say she wasn’t so attractive when we were so much younger but her looks were very much the same as they are now.

Mick; thanks for the reality check.
Haven’t you got a press conference to go to?

Monday is tempting but I dont think I will have the dirt wheels on by then.

[PaulMember]

I understand the auto clutch but not quite certain about it’s real benefit over a normal clutch.
Is it just to make the bike easier to ride with less manual controls?

Does anyone here race/compete with one?

[PaulMember]

Bump

Saturday is forecast to be warm (mid 30deg.) so let me know who is going, I will PM the Central Coast meeting point and time.

Put your Camelbak bladder in the fridge now if you’re riding this weekend.

I wonder if the countershaft sprocket is on the swingarm pivot like the G450X?

There was talk of the race team making that adjustable ‘concentrically adjustable frame’ I think it was called.

Personally I think the 2010 model will be the perfect bike.

[PaulMember]

I thought BMW were going to conquer the world enduros, Dakar, ISDE….
And let the superior technology filter into the Husky camp…..

See what happens when I have a nana nap :blush:
Maybe I should switch to 4 legs >>>>

[PaulMember]

I didn’t realise Ollie’s bike had a V belt

Maybe next time for me?

Saturday mate, I have resurected my ‘Motard to Pie in the Sky’ ride now the Beemer is fixed.
I know this Saturday is short notice but I am getting keen to go back to dirt mode.

Good topic Al

Just out of interest. When you refilled the syringe each time how did you stop air bubbles from plunging? I am about to do this job so would it be better to try and source an even bigger syringe?

Cheers

Simply tightened the bleed screw. Withdrew the syringe plunger and filled the body. The hose was still filled with fluid so no air bubbles. Then loosened the bleed screw, depressed the plunger pumping the fluid through the system then when syringe empty tightened the bleed screw. Easy. Did three times then one bleed from the top and finished.

You are right though, a big syringe would be the way to go.

old al

Also with clear flexible hose you can tilt & tap the bubbles upwards to the plunger and you can see when to stop pumping fluid, so, you could do forward and reverse bleeds with it connected provided you have a big enough syringe.

Brake fluid absorbs moisture so the less contact it has with atmosphere the better.
