  1. I use the blue unmixed aspen and mix it myself to 50/1 with putoline.
  2. Aye it is expensive but it offers hope for old plastic and fibreglass tanks , where standard petrol does not. The turning point for me was a 30 year old bike from spain with a perfect painted tank. I literally filled it with unleaded for 4 hours. Drained it down,shook it out and left the cap off to ventilate. One month later most of the paint had lifted. I nearly cried. I'd never use unleaded on one of my babies again
  3. I'm not convinced the super fuels are enthenol free. Google will throw up any answer . Statements from fuel companies are the only thing to rely on , unless you can test it yourself. .. which I'm told isnt hard. I'm starting to use aspen fuel. Apparently it's pure petrol , no ethenol and the salesmen recon is ace lol. It had a very long shelf life . My air cooled mono's do run better on it. They run completely steady when hot with none of the weakness that you can get with a hot engine. They certainly run better on aspen. Whether or not it seeps through fibre glass , only time will tell
  4. Billy took erzberg by storm. I love his riding style. He has a spark of brilliance in his riding like Eddie K . They throw caution to the wind but just need to avoid injury. I'm not sure Taddy is really up to it anymore in extreme ... but it's too early to say. Gomez is on the way up. He's also been training at a Motocross track to get his speed up and...... ☆☆☆☆☆Pol has his first enduro this weekend near Tarragona !!!!!! ☆☆☆. Fingers crossed he has results he's happy with
  5. Yes Baldi. As we know there is no chance of money in trial . Enduro offers more of a chance at a career where you can buy things like food and water lol. It's a good move. There are only so many 12-14 place results they can handle. It's hardly good for moral. So off to pastures new with the chance of a future as a rider. Pol didn't get the trial results of Jarvis bit he'd certainly beat Knighter and Walker on a trials bike .. so there is hope
  6. 2 more videos from Pol I really hope the lad does well.
  7. Did you really need to ask that question , or did some 7 year old hack your account ?
  8. I use cut down Wulf knee guards with padding and a hard plastic back. Some of this "padding" wont help at all landing on rocks with your weight on it. The hard plastic backing is a must
  9. Aspen fuel is very expensive at £19 for 5 litres , but is cheaper than a new tank and paint job
  10. They look great .Jesus Romeromo used to work at the Bultaco factory making exhausts. This was their speciality. I'm sure he had the original exhaust stamps when I looked around a couple of years back. He certainly had the steel blanks. The whole family eat sleep and breath Bultaco
  11. He would only have given you one line. I have extensive recorded interviews with Ossa factory employees and it was them and others in the industry that opened my eyes to this euro grant business. The business is not making bikes , it's creating enough confidence to borrow more. That's where the money is earnt , not mark up on a few hundred bikes being sold each year. .. many with warranty costs haunting them afterwards. Sad reading like I say ... but this is what goes on
  12. It's a great dream but the company is dead as a door nail. The only way someone might start production is on huge outlay which is completely illogical. Gurt is hoping for someone to invest so he can place himself comfortably within the structure and start drawing a nice salary... and what's wrong with that ?. Nothing apart from the fact that courting investors and securing their cash is the No 1 priority. Making bikes falls way way down the list. The factory margin on bikes doesn't pay enough for companies like Ossa to exist . That's why the no 1 priory is attracting investors with hope that there is one born every minute. It doesn't make pleasant reading but this is the sad reality of some small trial bike co's. There is nothing wrong with hope.In this case just don't part with cash - it would be gone in a flash.
  13. I only went to keep him on the straight and narrow. Fizzy pop and chips can lead a young man astray.
  14. Now now .... for Honda boys ... this news is monumentous. Can perfection be improved ? . Well apparently so. 4rt owners will be dining off this story for weeks . I'd imagine that sticker is very very special Let the good times roll
  15. I was planning on coming over as it looked good on the box. But Pol retiring , building projects and a new (3rd) boxer hound to settle in has removed a lot of my interest in rear wheel hopping bo##ox and also put enough on my plate in the short term . Fingers crossed for lots of rain
  16. The land of guns and Trump me thinks. I think they are Rotax engines. I'm sure there is an engine parts supplier over here that someone will remember. Rathmell might still have some stock. Send him an email at MRS. Good luck

    Yep. The are very few independent opinions out there
  18. The only way to get good results are to either 1 - send the tank off for colour restoration ( not cheap). 2 - paint it with 2k primer and top coat . Make sure you drain down the tank perfectly after each ride. If you don't your lovely paint will bubble off very quickly , and no amount of praying will stop it.

    The TRS isn't much like the JTG at all. It's not surprising the 2 get confused seeing as the same guy designed them both. The engines have one similar casings but that's about it. Completely different chassis. Different engine Similar wheels and front suspension but that's about it. I wouldn't confuse the two .
  20. Was that lap one ?. Did Bou / and the others all adopt Fuji's line afterwards ?.
  21. There is always an element of guesswork. Have you spoken to Birkett ?. He should be able to have a go diagnosing it on the phone. It'll be the injector though . £100 unfortunately
  22. The Injector is at fault.
