It is discussions like these that make me happy I ride in the MOTA series of events in the USA. We also do have 5 (sometimes 6) separate routes in each section, to accommodate our 7 classes. So that sometimes gets to be a bit difficult to set up. Personal opinion: Stop and balance = no penalty (it is a skill) Stop and foot down = 5 (you are now a kickstand, takes no skill) Leave the rules able to stop and hop but set up the sections like a no stop = all happy. No stoppers can still ride no stop (if they happen to stop and balance then no penalty, see an advantage) and hoppers can bounce around like rabbits to their hearts content. Let's face it the sport has progressed, as we age or our abilities do not keep up we may have to drop down a class and still have fun. (I know it is a hit to the ego) Just my opinion, Of course I know basically nil about trials in the UK.

What was getting stretched and what was stretching it????

QUICK PM ME A LINK TO THE OFFENDING PICTURE!!!

If the oil pump and shaft are left in place, but the plastic gear and associated washers/clips on other side of clutch cover are removed. Would that be basically the same as removal and a plate put in place?

Now Now Copey, You have forgotten Bomb making is a Kitchen activity, the basement is reserved for the dungeon for lovely ladies in the 18-28 age range.

It is a shame that some people will prey upon those that just need a helping hand. This one is at least funnier. (Language warning)

Team WGASA would definitely enjoy free beer, but I am Certain the Milford Trials Mafia can drink more of it than us. Well gee, you are starting to sound sensible. That is totally different than how this thread started. Enjoy the tinkering time in the garage. See ya in the spring if not sooner.

You Deserve the fun trip and trials time. Take some time off next season and just RIDE!!!!

buy a gasser or sherco. then ya got lightweight. Don't say anything about durability, because if you remove all that frame material and gears and such, then it will be weakened and basically just as durable as the other two options. Unless of course you enjoy the tinkering time in the garage.

I am the center of my universe........everyone else is just a really good figment of my imagination. :stoned:

It's been put in that portable black hole........The Wife's Purse

cater section difficulty to the competitors that routinely finish in the middle of the class. This will give them a decent challenge and keep it fun. Those at the bottom of the class will have something to practice for but not so difficult as to scare them away. Those at the top of the class would soon find it too easy and would consider moving up a class. Personal opinion is that "gate trial format" would be good for a fun day out. But Observed Motorcycle Trials is about riders competing on the same course with the same obstacles that must be ridden in the same order, and the better skilled rider will win.

No transfer ports. All oil stays in bottom end and transmission like a 4 stroke. Basically just mix fuel and air in the compression chamber. All that would be there is the intake port direct to cylinder from carb and exhaust port. Hold on, I may have found a flaw in that theory. As the piston goes up the cylinder does the piston completely block off the exhaust port. If not then there would be a "hole" directly to the bottom end where the oil is and it would all go into the exhaust pipe. But if piston seals the exhaust port this should work. Somebody let me know if this makes sense or if I have had too many I can tear down an engine, replace what is broke and put it back together..........but some of the actual theory and design is a bit lost on me sometimes.

Bottom end filled with oil like a 4 stroke? But the combustion is 2 stroke?

You have the same dream also!!! Mine also includes a very lovely umbrella girl.

Preferably a friend of the opposite sex............ Yep practice, practice, practice..............etc.. What needs to be learned is how to balance the bike, Keep torso straight, etc.

If I had the time and money I would ride the entire National series and as many club level events as I could get to................Lottery dream in progress.

Hey now no advertising in the forums!? yep I are a smart

I thought you only saw the back of those riders??????!!!!

It will also hold your cookies.

Thanks for the sizes, should be very helpful.

I have not split the motor yet, but so far all indications are that those are all okee dokee, I will know more after I actually split it. Just trying to get a little more info before tearing into it. Thanks all.

Thank you very much!
