the thread about the gopro the other day had two excellent quality bits of film..

quite innovative , makes a change from the usual stuff, http://vimeo.com/11680863

just started using in motion for mytwinshock stuff. usually delivered next day job done.

perhaps its just a lightweight wheelclamp that came free with a comic

simples... http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/23551-posting-images-tutorial/

well. i used a rack on the back of a ford escort van to carry an old yamaha trail bike.. didnt know it was there. i had one on a punto and an original vw polo to carry at variuos times a cub, cota 247, greeves, and even a 320 royal enfield bullet. granted when i took the rack offf the polo to sell the car there was some bending of the floor pan but nothing to worry me..

as a postscript to my oroiginal post. Hilary posted recently that he has a 200 ( i saw him riding at a trial on the thing) he'd a new carby on his and said ithand had some time spent on the carb and airbox any ideas what they might have been as he rode very well...

and if so.. what do you do with all those boxes of chocs the kids hand over at xmas!!

i was of the same opinion as you lee with my new 200 the pegs look too high and too far forward.. however a couple of trials down the road and i think there just fine, thing rides like a good un and i'll be leaving mine std.. take the point about making them wider though but hey you cant have everything .. there was a bike on ebay last week that had a great mod for lightening the clutch, ion the other hand i got aset of new cluthc spings and didnt fit two of them nice and easy.. and saved weight. the best thing with the fantcis is how hard to get bits seem to be just sitting on the shelves either in weston supermare or north yorkshire. mines a keeper..

sorry to be off the mark for those teachers that broke up yesterday in rochdale and will return on january the 5th they will be only having 19 days off, 2 days short of three weeks..

''Totally agree, can't keep just rising prices when people aren't buying already'' they can and will for the foresseable future. money is expensive to borrow so that impacts the cost base, oil prices are high, gas and electric prices are increasing and thus so does the cost base, the number of units sold are down so economies of scale are eroded so cost base rises. its all simple basic stuff a generation are going to have to learn to save for stuff rather than buy on the never never and it wil be a painful process. only those in recession proof public sector jobs ( eg teachers breaking up now for 3 weeks off) will be able to carry on as normal ( we spend more on pensions for teachers each week than the salaries of all our armed forces each week..) sad to say that any business with borrowings and with a product where alternatives are available for less money is goingto struggle for in 2011

the age limit for trials is a hot potato why not make riders have to be pre 65 as well??

mototrcycling boomed in the late 90's and early 21st century based on availability of cheap money. As money has become more expensive ( if you can get it at all) many are reviewing there 'must haves' and like cars, big ticket purchases have declined in number ironically sales of less expensive items phones tellys media etc have rocketed. no ones evry going to make anything nore than a living from trials and barely that i suspect. although the resession is officially over ( and if your a teacher work in the nhs or other public services you might say what recession) for many it is still very real and belt tightening is very much the order of the day. look out of the window.. are there as many outdoor xmas lights down your street as there were last year.. sad to see an established name in difficulties ( although administration is far from a death sentance) and i'm sure we all hope that they can weather the storm and exit it to fight another day.

thats irony.. the item was skewed to reflect one viewpoint in a better light than the other. EVERY anti motorised viewpoint was expressed by a person whose name and title/ group was displayed as they spoke. this was certainly not the case for the pro's. whilst mr craven spoke of the downside of illegal off road motorvehicles the film was of LEGALLy used vehicles. not once was a vehicle or person shown acting illegally in/on a motor vehicle. the evidence that was presented of country side damaged by illegal off roading was a photograph of a muddy hill. if the problem is so rife and such an issue how was the countrys largest broadcaster with 2200 full time journalists not able to spot / find/ film someone breaking the law. the bbc has enough journalists to put one in every tesco asda sainsburys and morrisons in the land and yet no one has ever filmed someone riding illegally off road? i dont deny that it happens i dont deny that those anti have a very powerful lobby but the issue is small.. i could step out of my door tomorrow and stop dozens of illegal ramblers who by sheer weight of numbers are scaring the landscape but the chattering bbc would nt support that..

nice quality camera malcra, certainly brings a new perspective to yooo tube videos. seems that there are plenty on eblag however a note of caution.. if you buy from the USA or elsewhere outside th euro zone you WILL get stung for Vat and postal charges once the stuff arrives in the uk. typically stuff leaves US same day arrives Uk the next and sits in customs for 7-10 days before you get the tax demand..

could the bbc have chosen a more unrepresentative group of legal off road use or used less emotive language or found any physical evidence. i;d hope that nest week theres a feature on the scars left by walkers.. itwm starts at 18 minutes http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00wstlg/Countryfile_12_12_2010/

i have seen this happen at an event and it involved one bike ironically on a two lap road based event. the CoC's exacts word were 'tough'! he argued that the timw allowanve was generous and everyone else had completed the course with plenty of time to spare.

a real chance here for a mega positive.. lampkin rides ssdt with Raga! bou rides as his main rival is riding.. the worlds best trial the worlds best riders..

yep a bit of heat on those hubs and the bearing will literally fall out. ( 'bit' been the yorkshire euphanism for a lot!) any bearing factor will supply two or three standards of quality bearing talk to them they are decent enough guys who know there stuff. bearings 'seem' to be graded by how they react the faster they spin so thinking laterally bike bearings 'spin' relatively slowly so you should nt have to spalsh too much cash. i never have and havent had to replace a bearing that i have replaced..

500 - 1000 according to the recent bikes on eblag. its timw will come perhaps a couple of years and it ll be drawing 1500 an appreciating classic.. keep it.

as an alternative why not venture up to yorkshire and dob park near otley where Yorkshire classsic's pre 65 trial is definately ON. farmer is gritting the access road if necessary sunday am. two routes and all pre 65 classes 10.30 start and all for a tenner!

yorks classic at dob park otley is definately ON. farmer is gritting road sunday am, sections are set and trial will definately run!! 10.30 start time. pre 65 solos only.

vw 's new yet to be realeased in the uk amourak looks great and goes as well. there may well be a wait and as for price the dealers wont even speculate..
