The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

Speaking of odd things that work well on a dirt bike, I've seen some odd things that work on a dirt biker! Have any of you guys been unfortunate to see what Montynut puts on his nipples while he races? ;D Looks like a ballerina in drag.

In the past I've used rubber plumbing reducers for Maico carb-airboot rubbers and Adel electrical/plumbing clamps to mount things to my frames without having to weld brackets. My big problem with Bunnings is in the pissy selection of nuts and bolts they have on offer.

Yep, plumbing adapters and toilet pan connectors make great carb/airbox boots! I also love Clarke's Rubber. So many great and useful things - grommets aplenty, chair leg plugs fit handlebars perfectly, walking cane tips come in different sizes and work perfectly as muffler bungs, tons of foams, rubbers and so on to make various cushions/protectors etc, and of course all the hose you could want...

I was trawling ebay for an aftermarket front brake line guide, as the genuine one is NLA. After looking for a while I stumbled across this, http://www.ebay.com/itm/150678473673?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1952.l2649, thinking that's just what I need and just about to push the button and spend $10, the penny dropped.

another 10 $$ saved,surely available from your local hardware/fishing shop.
