  1. washing up liquid works fine for me !!
  2. after much speculation,rumour and down right lies the club has asked me to make the following statement A rider at the recent normandale trial,who is a landowner of one of the venues used,was given a dispensation with regard to time penalties because an unknown rider had failed to close the gate to the venue in question,cattle had then strayed onto the road.Understandably the rider wanted to recover his cattle and avoid a possible road accident.The timekeepers and scorers were unaware of this and recorded the rider as excluded out of time.this was rectified as soon as the error was noticed. the club stands by the decision taken.the rider in question has very broad shoulders and has made no comment about this,but the club wants to make clear what was done and why. on a personal note i have ridden with this guy for many years,he is as honest as the day is long he is never the last to finish a trial,quite the opposite. on behalf of the MANSFIELD MAUN MCC

  14. the result last year was quite amusing,top six places went to fat old blokes on fat old bikes seems the modern crowd could`nt cope with no stop this year will be 15 sections,hopefully there will be enough observers !!
  15. there are as many answers to that as there are owners !! my prefered method is caustic,others set it on fire,others cut it open and clean manually take your pick
  16. very good trial,the extra couple of sections were more of a challenge 5 laps of 12 sections made for a full days riding,a bloody good
  17. the frame is weak at the engine mounting points,also check the crankcase and clutch cover near the back brake lever stop.other than that they are indestructable

  20. I have done a couple of trials on it and have discovered it is hugely over geared,now fitted with a 60t rear sprocket,8 more than before !!! it is now much better,very usable in 2nd hopefully next time out i will be further up the results sheet.
