General Discussion / Re: Jury duty
« on: July 27, 2015, 07:29:24 am »Well, it is time for Australia to become republic and get rid of this stupid justice system.
What's that got to with the OP? Aus has inherited the English system and, as legal systems go, it's pretty good.It's had 800 years to mature. The Aus system is already diverging from English common law by virtue of it becoming codified and what were once called Queens Counsel are now called States Counsel. It's diverging but becoming a republic won't make a gnats pube of difference. In short it's not a judicial matter but one of law and there's a difference.
To return to Jimsons problem, The onus is on the prosecution to prove that you received the jury call-up papers. If they can't prove it you're probably in the clear.

I think it's pretty universal. I've seen other threads where peeps have been complaining about prices of plating going nuts. Something to do with environmental regulations which has made it more difficult.

General Discussion / Vale Geoff Duke
« on: May 02, 2015, 10:06:59 pm »
Geoff Duke passed away yesterday. For a VMX angle remember he was originally signed by Norton as a trials rider and tried road racing as a lark. The rest is history.
Godspeed Geoff.
Godspeed Geoff.

One of the few attractions for me of modern 4T off road bikes is that the exhaust is out of the way and not exposed to rocks, stumps etc. If things carry on like this even that (slim) benefit that a 4T has over a 2T will evaporate.
Now, I'm reasonably clued up on the concept of resonance and how it turned the 2T motor from a stationary, generator motor into the thing of beauty that we all know and love and why we all worship at the alter of Kaaden, Degner and Blair but, damnit man a 4T's got valves! Why do you need a resonant pipe to duplicate what the valves are already doing?
Not arguing against you Noel but the whole point of an expansion chamber is that it is tuned for a fixed frequency (in the case of a 2T) how can a tuned cavity do the opposite?
As others have mentioned it looks like its all marketing BS. Gotta have one to match my new Oakley sunnies.

and the result is that the engine "sees" the header as not having a fixed length.

It looks like it's an expansion chamber. Would one of our more clued-up engine experts explain why it's needed?

Opening it up to famous people on Spanish bikes here's a few more:
