  1. 6 litre cans are a popular size. Not as common as 5, but pretty common nonetheless

    Helmet fit?

    Just make sure it isn't too small and not fulling seating on your head i.e. there's a gap between the crown of your head and the helmet

    Helmet fit?

    I wear an ht2 and think it fits like any other trials helmet I've worn in the past, so i think its more your unusualness to trials helmets as opposed to anything different to the ht2.

    Oil?

    Possibly too good for trials if that makes sense. Personally i prefer a thinner oil. But for the 927, id say around 70 to 80:1
  5. Obviously not that obvious
  6. Sorry lol. Theres no doubt a 125 will be safer to ride, but if you have ridden bikes before and are eager to progress quickly, you may quickly outgrow the 125. If you live in a place with lots of hills and are the type of guy who likes to blast up and down hills don't bother with the 125
  7. You're definitely the exception then. 99% of 125s ridden where I'm from are either by youths, oaps, or women. Everyone else is on 250s or 300s
  8. Are you really saying a 250 is easier stalled than a 125? Go into any dealer and its filled with second hand 125s and 300s that they cant get rid of
  9. 250 gg, the 125 is for people who are likely to kill themselves when they open the throttle. If you've ridden bikes before, this isn't you, and at 35 you will soon get bored of the extra work needed to get the same level of fun from it Is that why you are still a novice?? Hence don't get a 125, nothing easier stalled than a 125, A 250 has much much better resale value! The most in demand used bike there is
  10. Im usually a 10 in the uk and 45s fit me perfect, which are basically 10.5. If you plan to wear thicker socks than you would with a pair of shoes then id definitely allow for some room
  11. Better IMO (and I'm even excluding the cheerleaders in that :p) especially when you consider its 97, and there were even better indoors than that back then. The sections had better variety, the race was a better section, they used to have a high jump, a proper waterfall, there was once a rope bridge section, I remember it could have been Barcelona they had a succession of massive steps that went up into the stadium. Some of the 90s indoor in France were downright ridiculous with the sections they made out of scaffolding
  12. Don't want to be totally negative but I kind of agree. They really need to introduce something new, some of the sections and I don't just mean Sheffield, most of last years x-trial were diabolical! Compared to 90s and early 00s indoors it really has went backwards. Surely theres more to it than a severe lack of imagination in making out sections. The race section for example, like come on, they've been using that stupid jump and pipes longer than Theresa Mays promised commons vote! Is one new section a year too much to ask? And why not have a qualifying like the outdoors? Just be thankful they didn't have that terrible red bull ball section PS thanks for the vids nonetheless ?
  13. Thats probably because Japanese bikes have relatively loose big end pins in comparison to European manufacturers PS id be careful with your swingarm angle, don't over do it

    2019 gearing?

    I live in the uk and never felt the need for a lower first or 3rd. Lowering 3rd on a gg for uk conditions seems totally counterintuitive, unless you plan on bringing 4th more into play
  15. I hope she was worth it ?
  16. Probably lol. Was just checking that you knew the 315s never existed in Repsol colours
  17. Its not a replica if no such bike existed in the first place
  18. Ive seen this happen to a few people, on betas and gg, and with different heights of boots

    plastics

    Try Richard Allen, he will certainly have used plastics at the very least
  20. If its just a one off trial and you don't want to buy a new helmet, id look at trying to borrow one rather than use a 50 year old helmet. As far as I know though, I don't think you would be turned away
  21. Ditto with the Repsol montesa gear, in which case I definitely believe they attract that type of owner!!! I think its just the easiest replica gear to get, the other bike manufacturers don't really do bike specific riding gear or else its harder to obtain. I do find it a little frustrating when certain WTC riders don a set of riding gear that the public cant buy (currently applies to busto and Fajardo) I find the popular return to two piece riding gear in the last 10 years or so a welcome relief and theres definitely an improvement in the availability of stylish but muted trials gear! Other than raga I don't think anyone else sports a one piece when in the 90s early 00s they were all the rage Another point may be that I think the TRS is the only easily available one piece suit (I stand to be corrected though)
  22. What does that prove? My mistake, I guess it proves this
  23. Moto Guzzi were on to this in the 1920s Why dont you just get a beta 80, install a 10kg flywheel weight on it, wait your 1.5 seconds with the clutch in while its accelerated to speed, drop the clutch in front of your biggest hill, and then let us know how much more torque it has than my 300 gg
