Do we have any happenings with wildwood this yaer?
Or is anyone goin for a looksee ,might try and get there for a stickybeak this year :o

Should be easy for you since you can not ride your new bike at the moment  :( :( :(

Me and johnny are hoping to get there but  time is the big factor as we are trying to pre loop our rides we have on this month. Should be fun.

Im suppose to bethere as I've told Angus that i will bethere to support him and help in the pits again.
Al

I, m surprised Nath has'nt signed up :o

And im gonna be sweep rider :)

If i was fitter and had ridden more this year i probably would have had a crack, and shown everyone how NOT to ride a dirt bike.
A goal of mine is to ride Romaniacs in the hobby class sometime in the next 5 years.

Where were you back in the 90's when we used to do the Yamaha Enduro series, you were probably still in Primary school !!!

I was not in primary school, i started my apprenticeship in November  92 ;D
I never sat on a dirt bike untill the ripe old age of 32 and im 38 next wednesday! :-\ :-\

38 hard years... You haven't aged well !!! Seano, any news on the damage to the steed ???

Dave Smith --- If your reading this, Ive changed the front wheel bearings and front pads on the wr !!! I remember you telling me something about how to get the forks back the way they should be after taking off the front wheel. Can you pls explain, or someone else with a little more knowledge than me..
Cheers..
PS. Did the rear bearings as well...All over it...

I've aged better than you gramps! And getting bashed by coppers on picket lines puts the years on you!  ;D ;D ;)

If your asking about re aligning the forks there's two ways you can do it.
You lift your bike up on a stand so the front wheel is off the ground, give it a good spin, then pull on the front break and nip up the clamp bolts while still holding the front break.
Or you can not lift the bike up, hold the front break on and bounce the front of the the bike up and down to align the forks then nip up the clamp bolts while still holding the front break.
Both of these are done with the axle nut slightly loose.
I bet it won't take long until I'm corrected and I find a better way to do it.
As for the more knowledge than you thing! I'm not going there!!

Good on you Nath, realign the forks is what I was on about. Thanks and I'm off to give it ago.
Picket lines --- bash you,spray you,tazer you ! When its all over we can go and have a frostie or two... Ha ha..

Haha! We do actually end up with a good relationship with the police on pickets and most of the time the police don't want to be there, but they are just doing there job and so are we!

Just a personal preference but bike up off the ground is how i do it.

haven't looked yet Lefty, ::)

That's the method that works for me, Nate.

I use a G Clamp to force the Forks together as tight as possible, then i use a 3/4 Rattle Gun to tighten the Axle so tight that the thread comes out and hits you in

 the head, then rattle up the 2 x 6mm Nuts up till they spin Freely. Then apply heaps of loktite around the Brake Pads, so when your riding they give of a Sweet smell.

 :o :o ;D ;D :o :o ;D ;D 8) 8)

You Idiot ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D LOL you know you only need to use the 1/2 drive rattle gun, the 3/4 is way to much overkill

Big Bore Bike = Big Bore Rattle Gun !!

See i told you someone would have a better way to do it!

Seano, I organised to get a site last year with a bit of help we flew the AMTRA banner and had a good day out watching some gun riders. Dont know if anyone is organising  a trade stand  this year, but we should all be focusing on getting next years HCR organised otherwise it wont happen, then we wont have any money to run a website were we can all learn about how to put loctite on your brake pads. Pete, which colour loctite, blue?

Yes blue would be better for lefty as he has a Yamaha wr

Copper grease is better

So for my bike do I use blue Loctite with a yellow stripe, yellow with a blue stripe?
