Well, the point of my reply was to try to illicit a reason for the previous comment and keep interest in the actual thread, as because it was so short I kinda thought he was trying to make a point, and I wasn't sure what that was.
Sorry.

As an aside, the French seem to have a very good system where they can actually mark five routes with very little confusion. A case usually of less is more! Quite often the easy route has a begins and an end thats all, perimeter marked with tape.
Why don`t Montesa put a 2 stroke in the same frame as the 4 stroke ? So there is an option !
There is no montesa 2 stroke, the engine is honda's. Honda is run on very strict economic and regimented production, therefore they will not allocate a production slot for the (now old) engine. My guess would be that their view is probably to produce it would simply take sales from the 4t.
One of vestys which was the late conversion they did John Reynolds had one like this.Vesty didn't win anything special on this bike which is why my pal got it I think.
I thought he had the dellorto on at sheffield, which may be an indoor/outdoor variation, but I'd have thought it should be the other way.Wonder if that was a blipp with the dellorto, I always asumed a kehin was better for the big stuff.
Boysens just seem to make the bike run cleaner all through the rev range.
Copemech, I had an early 04 and I'm not sure that the later 04's are the same ignition at all. Would disagree about the torque as this ones the best so far, and its not retarded.
Bear in mind Jarvis has a Dellorto now not a Kehin.
I know what you mean, but that van is much more than just for trials, Ive done 30,000 miles in 18 months, and its a long way from milton keynes to any decent sections! (Just chipped it too)
Lets just hope that it (the monty) is here in time for the scott and my great mate Perce is hopefully sorting out a ride for us, thanks perce much appreciated. (its all for charity!)
Monty 4 stroke at the scott, that would be a good test!
Not at all, I too spent a couple of days doing just what you said earlier this year and God has the missus given me grief for it !
However, here is a National Novagar Championship which the w o e club has chosen to put on and the trial should be good well marked out and organised.I know that being critical is not necessarily helpful but if I had travelled from the I o Man and then done a trial like this and then no results in TMX I'd want to say something.
So to be constructive, it is essential the trial is well marked out, checked on the day, try to get a freindly rider to course check and route cards preferably with maps are issued to riders. 34 sections with some of these double subs is not enough for a Novogar championship. Routing riders through mud for no good reason outside sections is pointless.
Results should be quick and at the very least for Champioships appear in some form in TMX, but definately on TRIALS CENTRAL. where are they?
There seems to be a strange conspiracy where the moost feeble section of our sport, sidecars, gets a massive amount of TMX coverage completely unjustifiably.
Oh all right a bit harsh but was it 34 sections and a few of these double subs?
However TMX have surpassed themslves and the report this week takes the biscuit, perhaps noone knew it was a novogar round. TMX should be ashamed of themselves.
Cos if dealers knew what the currency exchange rates are going to be in 6 months they wouldn't be Trials dealers, simple enough?
Oh come on joined up thinking here please, IF dealers knew the actual price of the bike it would have to be in production or nearly so. We have had the photos of one prototype for just a week so if dealers have "a price" at best it can be a guess, if sandifords had a price and specifications it would not be in their best interests to have that as an open secret it would be in the form of a press release. For that to be possible Montesa would have told them what it would cost wholesale,and for that to be possible they would need to have a complete bike and know production costs, and as no ones seen one yet it seems a way off.
We still don't know why the bike even appeared on the montesa usa website first, perhaps your dealer can answer that?
Montesa fans and honda fans will buy them if there is no alternative, but fuel injection and fourstrokes are not for everyone, as is spending another
I could be mistaken but I thought Manzano was 15 two years ago at Duluth or was it three years ago in Washington.
Why do you say that a 15yr old can't enter?
Got me thinking now, but if cody webb is 15 I am pretty sure he has to ride a 125cc unless the rules are bent, again it may be possible for him to ride but as a non competitive entry, better check the rules.
Above shows Vestys bike as owned by a pal of mine 83 I think. Front wheel was swapped for a honda one to get better braking I think rest is as vesty /reg modded it. I think Dave Renham has this bike currently on loan.
