My DT1 hits the world stage.
« on: September 12, 2013, 10:15:42 pm »
I wonder how a photo of the NZ made Trimac  clutch actuator fitted on my DT1 ratbike (complete with rusty chain and spark plug sitting under the carby) managed to get onto an Ebay post for a Michigan, USA based seller without my permission? The bloke's obviously stolen the photos from the forum, they're the only place I've posted them.

And competitively priced.    ;D

You gotten question the honesty though when he doesn't state the photos are not of his bike or the actual item.

The dopey sod says it's never been mounted but he shows pics of it mounted.  ::)

If you Google Trimac DT1, an OzVMX post comes up first, so wonder if he's just lazy and used those instead of taking his own?

I saw one of my cars appear for sale in the Trading Post once. I strung the guy along for a while before dropping the bomb on him.  ;D

I reckon the timing might have to be a advanced a little if you are igniting the fuel at the carb Firko. Did it run well?

he does say at the end that he has a spare that is ready to bolt on & ride--in other words, not this one but another one, --[sounds like i'm making excuses for him] next people will be asking him questions re the ignition Firko--then he'll have to 'ask you' the answer!!. Good to see your fame's spread world wide. Might try making a home brewed version of one of those myself. [won't be pretty though]. Cheers.
