Yea it is...got it back from Bob last summer...I've ridden it in three events so far...sweet... M

My TL250 has stock carb, retarded ignition timing and will continue to rev until the valves start to float!

In ITSA competition, those mods would move you from "Historic Twinshock" into "Modern Twinshock"... In "Modern Twinshock" "anything goes" as long as it has twin shocks, air cooled engine and drum brakes... Murray

Bikes...or side covers... I had three bikes (sold some bits...), now down to two...one runner and a TMI (project)...never had more than one running at any one time...I know of five others... Murray

In all of Bob Ginder's ITSA events...stop and balance is allowed, itsa skill afterall (pun intended...). Put a foot down while stopped and itsa 5...backing up is also a 5... Murray

I, too, would like to thank Ed and his wife for their Herculean effort in trying to get AHRMA back into Trials, however, it seems that AHRMA

Well...after seeing the 2009 schedule, I will add my $0.02... In the 2008 season, only 9 of 25 events were held east of the Mississippi and of those 9 only 1 was held at a site less than 8 hours drive from my home in Western NC... In the 2009 season...6 of 21 events are being held east of the Big Muddy and again only 1 less than 8 hours away...So I must ask myself..."what's the point?" I will not be renewing my membership in AHRMA for 2009... Murray

Hey there Alpine, B&J Racing (in the US) got me an aftermarket pipe for mine, and I did see a stock head pipe on ebay recently...I think B&J gets theirs from Europe somewhere...worth a call maybe...In utter desperation I have an old, aftermarket pipe that might be repairable (by a good welder, it is crimped a bit in the front bend...) Murray

Good Deal! I live in Lenoir and ride twinshock and would love to be able to help out any way I can... Murray

Sent an email to Ed Peacock at AHRMA when I read that his proposal contained a cut off date of 1985...which leaves out the Honda Reflex...he said it was too late to change the proposal... Oh well... Murray

Dude! don't sell yourself short...we all know what it's like to try and get enough volunteers to pull off an event like that...you did a GREAT job considering what you had to work with! I was also one of those who chose not to ride on Sunday due to having to spend most of the day packing up for the 500 mile drive home...perhaps they could hold the PV mx on Saturday and run the trials on Saturday or get the Track to let us stay Sunday night and leave on Monday morning...you might even get more spectators by running it on Saturday...anyway...YOU did a great job! Murray

Well done Biff! Congatulations. But since it has been 2 years since I rode in a trials that used checkers (they have all been "peer" scoring), does AHRMA just count your best loop score or was this a case of (as I was told by an AHRMA rider some years ago) "If the checker dosen't see it...don't tell them!" (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw at least 3 points from the gallery). Myself, I am burdened with a truely sick sense of honesty...I will just as quickly argue a clean as a five... Be that as it may, 2 is what got scored, and 2 is what went down in the record books...well played! Murray

Rock On! Murray

As I understand it the measurement is taken just as the tang touches the needle...not as the needle starts to "move"...at least that's the way I do it... Murray

25mm from the carb body to the lower edge of float... Hope that helps... Murray
