Ad you seem to be a fine example of that Trev, as do many I have had the pleasure of dealing with in this community

I just saw Mick's use of the word "Hoardaniser". This thread peaked at that moment.

Frosty, one of the things I learnt is if someone is lying in the gutter wanting a hand out, keep walking because they'll just fall straight back in.  But if they are trying to pull themselves out, stop and lend a hand.

Another thing is if your mates have a dodgy moral compass it will erode yours over time. It's all too easy to become tolerant of mates who are a bit sketchy because they may seem like a good bloke in other areas, or are fun on the piss. Trouble is they are usually tolerant of other sketchy people and before you know it you have a widening circle of dodgy friends. And as is human nature you eventually get influenced by them.  Not to mention that if you have something they want you will end up being a target.

I highly doubt that Firko, I would probably get a good laugh if you did sell it on ebay though.

Recently I nearly became a Valiant hoarder but I thought better of it. That was only because once people find out you have one then others say I have a mate that wants to sell one and it is very tempting when they are well priced but having two car projects as it was I have decided to get them done before I consider getting another.

Having said that though you can't switch off your liking of cars or bikes just because you don't really need them if I hear of another charger close to me I'd probably have to go look at it I wouldn't be able to help myself.

If Pete believes he is right, pursue it relentlessly. Read, read and read more about it. In the end he will know more about it than the rule makers and so called experts. Avoid opinions on here at all costs. When he has sufficient knowledge on it use the forum to whip up a frenzy of " not you again "
" not this same shit again "  " cheating bastard ". " this has been discussed 1000 times " Present it at a meet and force their hand to act on it.

Apologies for the hijack and a bit late on the response here Ted but there is a bit of a difference between your case and mine. You doggedly pursued what you believed to be correct and with a bucketload of tenacity and determination proved it true beyond doubt, and in doing so, silenced your critics forever and paved the way for others - admirable job. The B40, however is a slightly different case in that all the evidence seems to point towards the side points B40 being a designated 1965 model. My argument would be, in the interests of the ongoing preservation of the pre 65 movement, to let it in as a slightly different, but without advantage, flow on model. I hope what Firko has said rings true and that the omission of the eligibility table means that all B40's are eligible, but I'm not pinning my hopes on that one yet.

It may yet go straight to the pool room.

Unfortunately, not all people know what SCRUPLES mean...or even that the word exists. It's kinda like "common sense", if it were that common, everybody would have some 

[worms]

oh shit, is that what it means

Did those triples ever turn up for that yz250g?

   Yamaico, i dont think "All the evidence"is in on the sidepoint subject as i said in another thread i have an original uk "Motor Cycle" mag dated october 1 1964 that clearly states by Jeff Smith that he used production case's on his title winning bike in the first 9 rounds of the championship and were changed every round due to wearing out, then had sandcast case's made for final 5 rounds- if we could drum up photo's that show the bike was sidepoint up till then there is no arguement -if they were distributor motor then look at that

You're right there Huskibul. I really need to exhaust all avenues before I consign it to the pool room.

Quick, some one please come around and slap me before I end up hoarding another green basket case
