Normandy's TVTC trial which was planned for Sunday 10th at Reel Hall Farm, Shamley Green has had to be cancelled due to the bad weather, according to the landowner there is a foot of snow on the access route.
Which consists of Normandy, Witley, Leatherhead, Surrey Youth and Twickenham clubs, we have trials around the Guildford area sometimes further as weel.
Yes i realise that (especially having seen the scores1), just got myself in out of my depth - all experience though. ALexz Wigg was class!
It was a great trial. I have just been looking at the TVTC websites (witleys is very impressive - and i am a web designer by profession!) seem to be lots of good club trials think i will deffo join next year.
Just so im clear is the Sportsmans route one down from Novice?
I'll put some videos of teh Fowler on you tube tommorow!
Hi Lingo, If you want to come along and ride no problem.
The Sportsmans ride the red route same as the novices but just prefer to ride an easier route than the Blue (If that make sense!) So there is a Novice and Sportsman class but they both ride the same route.
Yea i do the red/novice route myself but would not have come close to those sections.
If you are ever looking for a ride in the general area then always check Normandy www.normandymcc.co.uk we have a club trial this Saturday or the Thames Valley combine www.thamesvalleytrials.co.uk (I do the website), they are at an easier level.
I did changed the main bearings on my Y2K Sherco 290 a couple of years back, you'll need an extractor for the stator but the rest is pretty easy.
Have a a look on the Shero website for Wayne's excellent manuals which descibe the whole job step by step with colour photos etc.
I would check the wear on the piston as I only changed the rings as the piston was fine, and it still hurts to kick the thing over, loads of compression!
That and new gaskets all round and it'll serve you well for many years to come.
One thing I probaby could have done at the time but did not was change the clutch basket (I did the plates) as that is quite noisy when the clutch is out.
May want to have a look at the clubs in the Thames Valley Trials combine, Normandy(Guildford), Witley, Leatherhead, Surrey Schoolboys, Crowthorne Youth, a bit further afield from you normally but we are down your way this Sunday near Henfield.
I have an old 290 2000, I sometimes have trouble kicking the thing over and wondered if anyone had tried a spacer to reduce the compression like the ones available for the big Gassers?
It runs fine (well it will when I have fixed the water pump!) I like the power and find the power delivery pretty smooth.
