Gave this a go the other night.
Engine felt like it wasn't going to turn over without a fight. So I rock it back and forth to find the low compression point then give the wheel a serious pull ... bike falls off stand
Like I said originally you boys must be running seriously low compression in that thing

In third gear with a human rock sitting on it. you may need to employ a human rock...

I've always been able to turn over my twostroke buckets by hand (even my MX125s when I couldn't be bother getting it off the stand to kick).
Some TFs had serious compression (Pete Sales tuning).
The TZR100 runs about 13.1 (a little low) and that starts in second.
It's about the technique not brute force..

true - but some flywheel weight helps too.
I could start my manx like that - when i was young and fit....

I know Nigel's bike runs about 16.5/1 an turns over easy by hand

Was relaxing last night drinking and talking shit when I got a phone call to do a story for Stuff.co

I remembered the last story they did for GPR when every second sentence was a blatant cock up. This time however, they rung because I am apparently Ashhurst's towns historian, knock me over with a feather....LOL

So, they have put up a story on the old Commercial Hotel in the Manawatu part of stuff, and they only misquoted me twice this time.

I reckon by the next attempt, we may get a truthful story in the Press.

Yeah I wouldn't have said that about their mothers. As darkness falls just be wary of torch carrying pitchfork wielding mobs approaching.

Not sure about their mothers. But the "George" Hotel was meant to be the "Gorge Hotel". Being a stones throw away from the Gorge I thought it may have been obvious, however, I might be a stones throw away from Georges place so who the hell knows...

I like pitchforks, they prickle.

You Amateur....
Welcome back to the fold of piss poor Evening Standard reporting, this was one of the main reasons we had to get a PIM at work: otherwise they wouldn't get anything right.

The funny thing is, I wrote something word for word and sent it to her with no mistakes, and she managed to turn them into mistakes. Things like plucking quotes and when she muddled them up, they have a different meaning. Even gave her a list of the 20 previous Publicans who operated the place, back to the original Commercial in 1890.

Didn't tell her the brothel story though, that may not be a good selling point...

Papers eh, every year we give the local reporter a write up about the street races, and every year they re-hash it and cock it up, apparently if you give them something ready to go it's classed as advertising, so they have to put it into their own words. Also our local rag is more inclined to go for a headline like " Drunken hehaviour keeps police busy after Street Race " rather than " Crowd enjoys spectacular days racing " as a lead in to the article.
