Hmm, that's going to be a handfull then!
-
If I can pick up my tall 120Kg XR on my own, then I'm sure a low 138Kg would be alright (on the sort of terrain you can actually tackle on that bike!)
-
I have a couple of JDC covers off of ebay for about £20, they're nice and thick material and have been waterproof so far! (my street and trail bikes have to live outdoors)
-
Doesn't look like it protects the bike from road salt or prying eyes
-
Mmm, if you live near any nearby cal-de-sacs or dead ends, drive down one of those, turn around, and wait for just a minute before going home. That way you can see if anybodies following.
Obfuscation is the best protection - if they don't know where it is, they can't steal it. Other measures are just to slow them down.
One last thing - if you put a cover on the bike, just remember that it's going to have much greater wind resistance at speed, so strap it down accordingly!
-
Nah, you only manage to score a 10 if you run over the Observer
-
If you're enjoying yourself then you're in the right class
My local club's novice route seems hard to me, but I'm happy if I just complete an event!
-
Mmm, the "pausing" really doesn't appear to make all that much difference from regular trials ... love the high-speed qualifying bit though
Mr. Warner's accent really grates for me, which is a shame as it was otherwise a great video
-
It's lighter? Also, well done for winning the prize for not reading the post you're quoting
Nothing wrong with some friendly debate about this sort of thing, better than sitting on your hands!
-
If it's a problem, mark sections out for heavy bikes and give light bikes a handicap ... people would get over it.
From my point of view, I'm just not physically capable of handling a heavy bike, otherwise I'd be saving up for a Sherpa 'cause they look lush (and the left-foot rear brake and kickstart would be fantastic)
-
A fully modern Majesty-ised TY175; 'cause it's light, nimble, reliable, easy for parts, and can be built from a cheap and cheerful regular TY175
-
Interesting, you learn something new every day!
-
It's 19 for an A2 license (up to 48hp, IIRC)
-
So is there not a choice of replacement shoes for old Montys?
-
Emergency snow globe, 'natch
-
Hmm, very interesting!
Given that I'm very likely going to want to drag the back of the bike around by hand and very unlikely to do big drop-offs, I think it'll stay
-
Well at the moment it's a bare frame that's getting Majest-ised, so no loss in riding time to be had
-
Is it worth loosing the back mudguard loop, a la Majesty?
Is there anything needed to brace the two sides in lieu of it?
I kinda like having it for dragging the back about, but I'm also keen to shave some weight ...
-
If you're in the UK you'll be restricted to a 125 until you're 16 IIRC (which is plenty of power anyway), a good used Gasgas or Sherco is probably the best way to go as parts and maintenance are easy for them.
Trials is very different from motocross or trail riding, so be prepared for a steep learning curve!
-
-
Maybe Suzukis just use more oil then
-
Because it'll bung up the exhaust, smoke like a steam train, and reduce performance?
-
How longs that been for?
My TY is quite worn, and I was running it at 50:1
-
In British slang, when referring to a vehicle as a shed it means it's one step removed from the scrap heap
-
That applies to most any old bike, it's mostly better to get something un-restored and do it yourself anyway IMO
