  1. Yesterday was very random, with Jeroni starting first in GP class, all done by simple ballot. Class however did show in the end with 1,2,3 of last years rankings finishing in that order.
  2. Why not get rid of qualifying, it is nothing to do with trials. A Saturday and Sunday event would be much better, like it was a few years ago. The climb over the logs was a joke, slippery logs, separated by (less than a wheelbase) smooth painted concrete on a steep hillside and then wet through. When the very best in the world cannot get through twice something is seriously amiss
  3. Before you fit new bearings flip out the dust seals with a Stanley knife blade or similar and fill the voids with grease. Often water gets in corrodes the bearing which then fails.
  4. Format was a bit repetitive "park ferme" joke was overdone (to death). However gave a good impression of how energy sapping the inter section going is.
  5. I have yet to find a rock that would stop me every time on a bike with 1" less ground clearance, that I could get over on another brand. Perhaps more a question of confidence (you expect it to happen so it does) and technique not being quite the same an a different bike. (More knee action required perhaps).
  6. The Aprilia Climber kick start also fits but not the same shape.
  7. Look on scorpa usa website they have full manuals and parts list under documentation.
  8. Only ever used WD40 or similar light oil as it is more consistent and does not affect carburation. I also use a white spray grease on the inside of the airbox to attract any dust that gets through. To renew I just add another coating.
  9. The Mont 242 seems to be a very underrated bike.
  10. That is a purposeful looking bike, and for the first time one that looks good with black rims!!!
  11. Probably be able to do Italy, Belgium and France. Never seen a trial in Holland but as I don't like indoor trials I will give it a miss anyway. I agree all too close together but will maximise spectators. Sad that UK could not arrange one.
  12. Best of luck in overcoming your issues.
  13. Is it just me or is anyone else surprised how long it is taking to generate the new calendar by the FIM. Given a provisional one was issued by Sport 7 there must have been plans in place. Need to think about my year planning, booking flights accommodation etc, but where to and when!
  14. I have always wondered if the fuel tank extends over the airbox so that the seat height is raised
  15. Ok let me retry, I really like that little black number you kitted her out in! Feeling better?
  16. I was thinking of having a black rims fitted to my Yam mono. Looking at yours it looks kind of heavy, obviously an optical illusion so now need a rethink!
  17. I use a Paramo smock with a merino t shirt underneath or a Buffalo Special six or Montane, pertex and pile jacket. Not waterproof but best breathing combo to remove sweat which is what also makes you cold. For Leggings I use Event fabric.
  18. World championships are all the same, wide open throttle to big step. After fiddle around getting lined up, repeat and then repeat. Totally boring to watch and with only pseudo natural hazards it's coming to a natural end. From watching videos only Japan breaks the mould. I went to the Italian round this year and left before the end such was the interest for me. Belgian was much better. I wonder what Holland will be like in 2019.
  19. The Wurth silver is very good stuff. search for Metallic surface aluminium paint
  20. My Fantic 245 engine is looking a little shabby, Please advise if there is a exact/good colour match for the engine, including the cylinder head. Thanks
  21. Does not the radio silence speak volumes. Nothing will be done, medals awarded, history written. Justice ?????
