having had something of most brands in the last few years i'd say that if you stick to the most popular models and seek the advice of the major suppliers before buying that most stuff is getable either new reproduction or used. i'd think that the ty stuff is no 1 for availability but people ar doing alsorts of stuff with bultacos fantics so the stuff has to be out there.. My current fantic 200 has nt been a problem thus far it just started litrally first kick having not been touched since the trial 5 months ago..

trials is very small beer. honda have a dead cert to win the title evry title a home grown star for the people at home. they will stick with 4t until hell freezes over they can add bou's world titles to thier race titles and for very little money ( less thana million a year) a bargain by any advertising standard they could nt care less if they never sell another trials bike HONDA is what they want to sell not trials bikes. todays honda motorcycle commuter is tomorrows civic driver is tomorrows fireblade rider is tomorrows etc etc

most of the 99 delivery boys do so on back loads as they return to base so fort william been abit off the beaten track you might be struggling you 'll probably get it to glasgow easy enough but the extra 130 mile will probably kill the idea.. best bet if unsuccesfull might be to wait until the world round and get some nice form member to bring it up for you. i suspect northamtion is circa 450 from the bill?

its massive literally space for hundreds of riders plenty of stuff for all levels absolute beginners to world champions.

i run muy mild villiers 32/37a on 70/80 ml of PJ1 silver fireper 5 litre can. i had occasion to have the thing in bits recently and the bottom end had more oil lubing the bottom end than any i have ever seen. the bike runs clean the plug is spot on everytime and i've changed the rings once in 3 years of trialling 3 weekends each month.

if you want to do something different and have the whole section to yourself sacrifice evrything else and head out on the loch eilde track go to the cottage first and walk back with the riders is a long ( LONG LONG) walk but its a decent track and a great way to spend the day did a couple of years ago and it was well worth it not another spectator in 7 sections...

ktm spotted an opportunity in enduros when local events strted taking off and made a reliable ( ultra reliable) product even if it was pricing they also made it available in mainstream dealers so dirt junkies/ enduro riders and importantly road riders saw the bikes looked at the value for money and bought them in there hundreds and the no.s doing H and H's today back that up whereas in trials the numbers competing are falling lie autumns leaves ( the british championship only attract 10 for the championship class and only 2 or 3 drop less than 50 so its hardly encouraging riders off the street to join in.. and as long as it continues then trials will become more and more niche. the only growth is in twin shock and p65 and beginner trials as lads who just want a comfortable sunday ride jump in. Honda will never make another two stroke motor either under thier own name or a spanish acronym.

i know nowt but what i do know is that honda as a brand see two stroke motor as untenable in any circumstance

save yourself a whole lot of hassle take the old spindle down your LBS and pick a new one out.. get the length about right ( longer rather than shorter) and keep an open mind about spindle diameter ( as long as you can get a bearing to fit) and you'll have the pukka stuff.. running a Sherco spindle in my 1950's francis barnett hub that cost me shy of 20 quid..)

Met check currently predicting rain during the pre 65 and all bar monday it'll be fine for the six days.. so i'll still be taking every item of clothing from sking gear to my speedo's!

red rose welcome twinshocks as well as pre 65. in fact a look at the results shows that twin shocks are certainly on the up with about a half of entrants on the later bikes. sensible sections all with dual routes means that everyone can have a ride.. http://www.redroseclassictrials.org.uk/events.html next trial in a fortnight at a cracking spot with streams and climbs.. ideal trials land.

result.. good to have a good news story..

try the key in the magneto does it fit.. if not take a file to the woodruff key then a little loctite in the slot and your up and running.. made my own woodruff keys fron steel bar in the past should nt take ten minutes..

i've bought upwards of a couple of dozen bikes off ebay all unseen and have never been disappointed, i 've only ever had to do real work on one to get it ready for work and as i only paid 230 for it yet had it through the test for 60 quid i didnt think that was too bad.. be realistic your not going to buy a minter 4rt for 1700 quid.. you ALWAYS get what you pay for..

if the thing goes on without the woodruff key but wont with then the problem is either the key or the key way. try the kep in the ignition if it wont go in 'modify one of them.. the key will be the easiest..

great that most people get the day off and i'm sure that given the chance bill and kate would be chasing foxes than watching anybody elses wedding on the telly. what is a positive is that young people still believe in making a commitment to each other and sharing it with the world. that by a dint of fate one was born to an adulterous relationship yet still aspires to the elusive 'for life' relationship is a real strength .. for king Billy and st george!!

its our and thier loss that messers bou raga cabastaney and thier employers cant see any value in appearing at the ssdt.. if anything would double the crowd seal the 100th anniversary it would have been the worlds best riers turning up..

i have a contour 1080hd that will go down to 720. the issue is they are not plug and play as advertised. it took me the best part of a week of evenings to get the thing sorted, what with having to have this and that enabled/ disabled downloaded/ updated etc etc.. the contour editing site sounds tickerty boo and is regretably just poo. as the makers admit when you get far enough into the websites they concentrate on producing a cheap camera and not on the editing etc etc its easy to use on the helmet solid as a rock sticks like s@@t etc etc but downloading and uploading to variuos media sites is a REAL pain.. the forum / help site is full of stuff and the tech guys really do get back to you for free and the answer to all your issues is there but the manual supplied with the thing is rank.. costs vary so look around try unusual but large name retailers online and you can get the basic stuff for less than 200 quid.. the truff the hole truff and nothing else but the truff

i've just bought a scooter so that i can get about on the six day and pre 65, dont intend to go off road at all but the bike will get me a lot closer to the action than having to park up to a mile down the road etc. it'll also be a cheaper day out than having to haul 2 tonnes of renaults finest around the highlands plus the wind in my hair and midges in my teeth will guarentee that i dont forget the holiday.. see you there!!

some 250 tanks were alloy, they should fit a 175, why not fit a ty80 tank.. much smaller and holds enough for a trial. rock shocks dont have a locking ring and neither do any of the others i think.

sounds like you've got the right stuff, i'd ditch the i.5 ltrs of water and only carry 500ml, the petrol stops normally have loads of free bottled water so you dont need to carry much, the adjustable spanner is the best solution to all those spanners ( take a drill or hack saw to the handle if its bulky / weighty) put the split link on the throttle cable , make sure you can actually pump up the tyre with your super light pump ie take the tube out at the front and refit and see if it works same with your co2 stuff . you ''l be taking the bag to the top of each group of sections as you inspectthem and leaving it there whilst you ride the sections, meaning that you'll only wear the bag when riding between sections/ groups. dont forget something to eat for a little bit of energy chocolate bar/ chewing gum/ banana.

never had to put any in the ones i've had

the only legal number plate is a correct sized one. its even illegal to make an incorrect sized one. did a sammy miller round last year and a copper was pulling all the bikes with very small numbers typicaly less than a couple of inches tall whilst letting others with taller but still illegal letters ride by. so the copper was been fair enough and excercising a fair bit of lee way

i havent seen any rule changes since the entry pack was made available.. stating that fork length and diameter will be ' checked ' isnt changing an eligibility rule and stating that mk1 amals are allowed and mk1 .5 again isnt changing a rule its clarifying that 1 is differnet to 1.5 which frankly even my 5 year old knows. i hope that the club holds good to thier word and at least cheacks that bike look like the photo in the entry and that some specific fixed points are as per the regs. the length of forks and doametr of stantions would seem easy/ simple to confirm beyond doubt in less than 60 seconds. If they would like some help with this scrutineering i would happily support them practically with this.

from the ACU today, the chheky govt seem to have forgotten about motorsports in the forests/ woods and the acu are asking people to lobby for the motorsport voice to be heard. dont forget WE PAY to use the land the great majority of other users do not.. http://www.acu.org.uk/News/2011/04/ACTION-DOCUMENT-DEFRA-FORESTRY-REVIEW-PANEL/
