    Beta 4-stroke

    It will be a fantastic bike - not bothered about the carb - am bothered to know if its light weight, produces better power than the 270 rev-3 - doesn't cost the earth - looks good.

    Sherco 290 Replica

    Got the Raga 300 and have rode the 290 Cabs. I'm thinking of changing to the Cabs because the suspension and steering were a lot better. However the Power difference between the bikes is massive, the 290 Cabs I thought was a lot less powerful to the point of being disappointing. I've heard of someone altering the ignition timing, which in effect made the bike more zippy. Anyone know how this can be done?

  5. Are you saying don't remove and disasemble the air box? I just removed mine and resealed it with the result of far less crud getting in the box than before. You make a valid point with the vents, tank and air intact but i don't see why your so anti sealing the box. Isn't sealing the box another way for preventing dirt getting in. One thing i've noticed is dirt gets in the from where the throttle cable meeting the connection point on top of the card
  6. This years DVD is a lot better than last. I say this about the commentory and film footage - in general its a lot more comprehensive, but its still not as good a Trials TV (but not far short). One really noticable thing that caught my eyewas the 4rt. Last year Dougie/Fuji would rev the guts out of their bikes having the valves smacking the piston before take off. This year the 4rt as visibly more powerful and some of the big rock climbs the 4rt was a lot better than Raga on his 2t. I can't wait to see how Bou gets on with the bike.

    Computer Help!

    The first hurdle of having my computer to recognise a DVD-R disc has now be accomplished. The software I downloaded was Cheetah Burner (15 day trial). The camera I have is an Canon MV830 Digital Video Camcorder and with this camcorder I have the software to make the video footage into MPEG files...so far so good...O yeah I can also make AVI files to edit in Window Movie Maker.

  14. Bought mine today. Is there any connection with the armed services and trials/trails - were our grandfathers dispatch riders in the war i'm wondering how all this off-road riding ever took off?
  15. Does that bike look S**t or what? Why is that anything eco-friendly takes on the appearance of washing up liquid bottles bolted together by a blue peter presenter.! When will these designers learn if they want to sell something so technological advanced they make the blimming machine look half decent. For example, who in there right mind would chat up an old fat bird rather than go for the young and attractive bit - come on who on TC would do such a thing?
