Footage of what? Seriously Dave, all this 'PM me', 'I'll send you links', 'FB me' is doing nothing to convince me. Are you scared that if you post what you know on a public forum 'They' will come and take you to a secret detention camp? This could be a place for a reasonable discussion on the reasoning behind America's interest in certain countries among other things but all this cloak and dagger stuff is just annoying! What, because people show an interest but you're unable to provide anything other than alarmist American conspiracy stuff? Give us something to work with Dave!!

It depends which crank you have down and where your weight is being supported what angle the bike will be at in order to balance.

Damnit, I wish I could've made it! Haven't seen Nick in sooo long! Have to hook up soon. Nice pics, though I must say Iain's face combined with those Monty Pixie boots in the first one is epic .

19mm drill (and a 17.5mm or similar if you're feeling nice) and coolant/lubricating fluid... Dremel probably isn't really up to it, or at least it will take you ages to get there.

I got the '100% Brumotti' DVD after this came up last year and it's really good to see such a fresh style. He's clearly a little nuts though...!

Not sure if he's 'sponsored' by Armani etc. but he's a professional male model as well as trials rider hence the link to the fashion industry.

Well that pic's him riding for Armani so no idea who else he's involved with.

Vittorio Brumotti. Most definitely Italian rather than Spanish.

Check the dates

Can't help really, when I had the Beta 250 it wasn't road registered so I couldn't insure it with normal motorcycle insurance and it was only worth about £600 so I didn't bother insuring it by any other means. You could give your home insurance people a ring and find out where you stand with theft from a shed/garage or whatever. Explain that it's not a road vehicle and see if they'll add it as a specific item on the insurance.

I hate it when that happens.

Come on, seriously? 3 of your 5 posts are in this thread. Please don't spam the forum.

Where is the fluid coming straight out of?

Is the waste pipe just a straight through pipe? I've tried bleeding before with one way valves designed for cars/motorbikes and the valve was too strong to allow fluid through. Only other thing it can be is a blockage in the system somewhere... Does sound a bit strange! As a sanity check, if you loosen the syringe, does the fluid escape under gravity or is it still held in?

You're doing something wrong... Can you explain how you're trying to bleed it, what end the syringe is on, where the spent fluid is being extracted from etc?

That'll be fun to plasma cut

Cool beans. What material are you going for?

Looks good though I think it would look better if the lightening holes followed the curvature of the ring rather than running straight.

Do the bolts up just enough to hold the cylinders in place while still allowing you to twist/move them with a little effort. Get them very roughly aligned (straight on the rim and parallel with the rim in both orientations) then set the lever pull: Make sure your TPA is wound off and move the cylinders in until you get the desired amount of reach on the lever when the pads contact the rim. If the cylinders are too close, lever pressure should push them out, though you may need to play a little to get them even. Once you have that set you just need to tweak the alignment to make sure the pads hit the rim square and are parallel and aligned. Tighten the bolts up and you're good to go. It is much easier with mounts which don't sue the cylinder washers though...

Still needs a nice Pivotal setup to finish it off!

Im srsly nt cnvncd by tht. Text talk in anything other than texts is just plain lazy and really annoying... though, to be fair, I type properly in texts and use proper punctuation too. I truly hope it has no official place in the English language.

Also the rotation has to be initiated before/on takeoff therefore a lot of the spin comes form preloading your body and bike prior to takeoff.

If there is a God, he's one cruel, sadistic f**k who doesn't deserve to be worshipped that's for sure!

Inspired forks have a threaded steerer . As Mark says, headsets can take a little while to bed in. One further point is to make sure that the crown race is fully on the forks and the cups are fully seated in the frame to be sure that it's not them which are settling in when you ride.

Regardless why you chose to take grammar more seriously, it really will stand you in good stead in the future. Whether it's essays and school work or uni or job applications, a good grounding in English will always be incredibly important and useful.
