  3. pity its about 80miles from me. just a little to far to drive on a Sunday morning lol
  4. I have the Black ones, but haven't used them yet, took them as spares in case it was cold last time I went out but didn't need them. Good to know they are nice and warm In grey size L £15.95. have used this guy a few times and its always been fast postage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wulfsport-Neoprene-Waterproof-Adults-MX-Motocross-Bike-Casual-Insulated-Gloves-/291936189806?var=&hash=item43f8c0bd6e:m:mXDjvu8847Tg31Sxo6ZOIJw
  5. Yeah , once set , you can forget about it and I'm sure like most others, the bike will run better on it.

    Compression

    How would you do it ? an extra head gasket on a watercooled bike is risky, one more place for a leak to start As said low compression head only real option
  8. The Beamish is getting a lot of use , now i have a practice ground, i have even done my first trial(which i won my class)
  9. Its going to be a case off job, everything is inside there. its not catching anywhere is it ? I had the same problem with my Beamish Suzuki, it turned out to be the wrong size washer on the bolt that was catching on the frame
  10. Sadly my back gave out Sunday morning as I was getting my stuff together to go ride the event , so I could only go and take pictures, the back is worse today, so no riding this weekend by the look of it. link to the video's I recorded yesterday https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3viLD8efZluqqde98Goz_y0puzwsN84
  11. It didn't work, my back went even worse today and I'm now going to need to see the Doc
  12. These Wolfsport boots have been great, used them 7-8 times now and you cant tell your wearing them, even after 5-6 hours out on the bike. really comfy from day 1
  13. I recorded these on sunday at Bracken rock, its just off the A6 near whatstandwell on the way to Matlock from Derby https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3viLD8efZluqqde98Goz_y0puzwsN84
  14. I was meant to be riding the Beamish there, but hurt my back and didn't want to risk making it worse
  15. I'm the same age as you and have never done any form of motorsport. I had always like trials as a kid in the 70s and the very first bike I rode at 11 was a mates OSSA 250 mar. earlier this year(April), I decided I wouldn't mind having a go, so got myself a Beamish Suzuki 250. Did my first ever trial in September and won my class. There seem to be a good few 70s twinshocks about at really good prices £800-£1500 I say go for it, see if you can find some ground to practice on, after a few months of looking, I managed to find a place and haven't looked back. The classic trials scene is a very friendly place, with lots offering help and advice to new guys just starting out.
  16. Peak classic trial at bracken rocks in derbyshire (UK) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3viLD8efZluqqde98Goz_y0puzwsN84
