IDMCC also run a 2 Day Pre 65 Trial, in June, for anyone interested or unlucky in the Kinlochleven ballot
D.
For all the riders that are unlucky at the pre65 here's the perfect antidote, great trial having ridden and enjoyed it for the last two years. No ballot (yet) Again a very beautiful and rugged part of the country. Probably easier to get to. Plenty of accommodation and campsites. Great fish and chip shop, Indian etc within a few miles.
B40rt - To support my Bultaco habit I'm a builder and plumber. The stand is made of 15mm copper pipe from Wickes and the joints are all standard yorkshire fittings. I'd recommend 22mm as its a bit wobbly!

Thanks for that, I only asked as it looked very well done and I have lots of fittings lying around. It looks better than the lemonade crate currently employed.
Most clutches drag / dont disengage when cold. My method is to push the bike with engine running and slip it into gear, they ride about with the clutch leaver in and wait till it frees off.
I think this method is slightly kinder to the gearbox / clutch.
I have just fitted an Electrex ignition system to my Greeves Scottish and discovered that it isn't possible to position the stator plate in the position that corresponds to the instructions - to time it to fire 10 degree BTDC, and I would have to drill new holes in the stator plate to achieve this setting. Has anyone else come across this problem ?. Incidentally, I can position the stator to 16 degrees BTDC (as per original system).
Congratulations on passing your CSE English language exam McPoindexter.
Now F*uck Off.
Although I don't think you'll be able to resist the overwhelming desire to share some more of your exquisite grasp of the English language with the rest of the trials community!
You illiterate racist. (look it up in the dictionary)
I read that post by Greeves about boring out the axel hole in the backing plate. Interesting, the rest of the procedure I was familar with holding on the brake before tighten up the axel nut and brake stay, but the hole expansion was new, think I'll try it....
It's actually a 350cc BSA Bantam, Post Office Telegram bike I've got and entry with in the Pre-65! Apparently Jeff Smith and Bill Nicholson secretly tested a 350cc Bantam in January 1959 with the view to making it into a big bore two-stroke trials machine.
I have had one specially built using a disguised Husqvarna motor tuned down with programmable ignition and had the frame and cycle parts painted Pillar Box Red especially for this event, should raise quite a few eyebrows methinks!

I thought I was the only one riding a 350 Bantam !
