I've got a copy I got when it came out and have been trying to buy another copy for years but have baulked at the price. I've never seen a copy for $24 ever and I'll buy his entire stock for $100 each if he wants to make a quick quid!

Yeah, but look at the prices. 154 EURO and 82 quid for a mint one. Not too far off what I paid and mine was mint as well.
I want one for $US24.00.  ;D

NExt time i find it ill give you first cut and paste, then ill stick it in here.  Infact i think the hole thing is online, just download it off a bit torrent. i Dowen loaded some pages onto my work PC on the MXB so i know its up in cyber space.   I though $24 pus postage was a bit steep and after the 4 time i saw one come up i thought it was a scammer selling off copies he coudnt offload, wish i had known you guys wet your knickers over them, $80 x 4 +$320 richer........... ouch.

I do remember the search i have emailing me on Ebay stuff is a strange filter and from memory the book is in a funny catagory cause for the life of me it took me a while to figure out what Boulean seach it was using.

Dont sweat it, well find enough for all !

Hey Rossco, actually my reference was not about the time your post was , it was my sense of humour trying to get a bite out of YZhilly and the other Yamaphiles.

Yamaha Bible = good reading to get you to sleep  ;D ;D

alas none of those blokes took my bait, i usually get a bite form Hilly, but hes on Holidays so i suppose he is on the Bourbon big time  :)

i do like all brands of bikes, but i do lean to the big reds.

Hah Hoony i just let it slide but no longer will i turn the other cheek ,your just jealous cause you dont have a bible to guide  you as you stumble along your journey .they dont write books about 2nd best. and it's a pannican full of ice with a liberal dose of rum and a splash of coke thats been putting me to sleep in this heat and it's time i had one  now.

now thats more like it mate!

with Honda's my path to MX Nirvana has been chosen and no guidance is nessessary, i can arrange an exorcist to remove those demonic yamaha's within your shed if you want, its not too late to save your sinning soul brother.
