This is actually a pretty good idea ! Style marks for authentic clothing (-10 if your belstaff stands on its own) .....

Stick an o ring in a container with e10 and see what happens !

Can the position of the throttle be adjusted ? If looks to be about 90° out for comfortable use.

I like your honesty 😁

Take a wide guess what the hole in the top is for .........

"Would this be original enough? Don't think the handicapping of younger rides would work though to think it would kill of interest for people my age. I think I made it harder for myself actually riding an original framing greeves" Would handicapping really deter anybody ? If I only entered events I thought I could win, they would be very few and far between. Personally, I wouldn't handicap by age (as it has no relationship to ability) more by results. Maybe previous years first second and third are handicapped 3 for winning, 2 for second and 1 for third.

I have a tx one in pretty poor condition. Think they were the same ? I don't think it could be used.

There was an Italian guy on Facebook selling reproduction ones, they were very expensive. If the rubber is ok I'd carefully remove the element and glue together a replacement. Proper filter material is cheap on ebay.

Were all the spacers / dust shields etc, present when you did assembled it ? If any were missing this could easily be the culprit.

Fixed it for you 😎

I'd love to see him in a real trial like the Scott or SSDT 😎

I'd assume that a thumb throttle is more intuitively on or off - ie - dumbing it down ??

Should work well in conjunction with a rekluse clutch 👍👍 Why are you so angry ? It's your bike, do whatever bizarre modifications you want !

I've mentioned handicaps on a few occasions, always met with a deafening silence !

Engine is probably full of oil left when petrol evaporated. I'd kick it over with plug out, even drop some down the plug hole.

Have you stripped and cleaned the carb ? Changed any old fuel and filters ?

The off road register scheme is at least 5 years old, I used it to identify if a bike I had just bought had been stolen. It transpired it was already registered and for £25 I got the original number back. Even a v5c in your name is " Not proof of ownership " Personally, I would never buy anywhere other than the sellers house / business. If your gut tells you to walk away, do it.

I wouldn't take technical advice from gavinskii, who doesn't know the difference between raising and lowering gearing !

Sometimes during truing the wheel, a spoke head will protrude and in time puncture the tube. If you are just tweeting a few spokes you should be ok.

Relocate to a colder country !!!

35" inside leg ? ???

Twin shocks are relatively comfortable, some ride modern bikes with their shins on the footrests .......
