The Boss strikes back for those of you with little faith......

Here, kinell, Did he give any lessons in Navigation.......... dy

Any sensible replies..... The very good ones are

250 has brilliant brakes if you takes the time to clean them out regularly. I run a fine grade emery paper round them every two or three trials and swap the shoe as well. Newfren ones work damn well dy

Barry, What club have you joined, Stevenston and Dallmellington run a good series every year with something to suit everyone, might be worth a look if you don't want to kill yourself too soon dy

Monday - Either Leanachan Forest, nice and early or the new stuff round Kinlochleven Tuesday - Simple Creag Lundie, though Forest Gate worth a look Wednesday - Head up to Trotters early to get parked otherwise out on the peninsula, Trotters easiest Thursday - Chairlift Early or Fersit, best group of the week but a long walk Friday- Pipers burn early then race round and over the ferry to Rhuba Rhuadh Saturday - If trial a foregone conclusion then head for one of the groups round Kinlochleven otherwise it HAS to be the Ben, especially if the results are tight, my plans anyway 38yrs old, 37 scottishs under my ever burgeoning belt dy

James, Suspect the gearbox sprocket problem is simply wear on the Gearbox Shaft, mine is okay, not awesome but okay. I think the only way to fix it is a new shaft. dy

What the secret Kinell, been trying that for years dy

Jeez, that serious..... you gonna be okay for the Six Days or will the big thumbprint hold you back then as well ??

were you not there Andy....does this mean no photo feature like last year???? thought Kinell was going to, was looking forward to hearing about his exploits. dy

What were the prices then Steve

Thanks Honda RS, I'll do it from home later Regards donald

Hi Chaps, Does anyone have any decent pics of the RTL honda in Pink Livery, think they were out between 85 and 87, not certain ta dy

Interesting looking piece this, bargain price for now but..... E bay Auction

Gordon said it all, Whatever or however an individual observer scores he has to be consistant, give a Lampkin/Colley/Jarvis etc a clean even though they blatantly hopped, skipped jumped their way to the end cards then give the Big foots/ Boofonts/ Kinells of the world a clean for a wee stationary moment. I've always preferred the other approach they stop, its a five plain and simple. Between the ages of 12 and 16 I thought my name had been changed to B******........... and that was just my dad!!! dy

Thanks for your help gents, gordon 'll be in touch regards Donald

Need some advice boys, Stripped the engine down in my tlr last week and then spent a couple of hours crying. Main engine seals, valves, piston, you name it, it's knackered, I'm not chuffed. Main thing it needs is the piston replaced and a rebore. Someone has said in the past that the barrel can't be rebored or honed to take out imperfections, is this true? the barrel is not too bad to my eye, Ive seen a lot worse. The piston had worn itself to about 10thou too small so it's been slapping around all over the place, half inclined to say it were too small in the first place!!! Big end okay, main bearings in good nick as well So: Can the barrel be bored or honed? What oversize pistons do Honda do for the TLR ? Is Appleyards the only place to get the bits and pieces? At the moment the plan is to get hold of a new piston to match the bore of the barrel, will this cause any other problems. Any advice welcome. Thanks donald

More than a few

or if a matchless is not up your street.... Another E Bay Sale

Another Gorgeous Matchless e bay sale How genuine is this one, even better there is no BMW behind it!! dy

Let me call it Kentallen, please ........ Agree it's very sad to lose this ground but as has always happenned with the Scottish something else crops up that proves bigger and better, remember when the committee lost Achlain Farm, the Tuesday big group but found Creag Lundie, Ceannacroc, Meall Dham instead. Hope the new stuff at Kinlochleven proves as popular in the years to come as Kentallen has over the last 20 - 25 years. Who knows some trials riding nut might win the lottery and buy Lagnaha.......wish it could be me!! dy

Hey BS, 120KG comes out at over 18 stones, think i'd like a copy of your conversion as well

Suspected you would cast your very knowing eye over it John However original, pukka etc I still think it's gorgeous... Yes John Your Matchless is as well but I've told you that before Dy

Spotted on e bay link below E bay

Big John, thanks for the PM's on the book, Haven't spoken to his nibs yet but I'll let him know when it's out, I know he's desperate to see a copy. Old pics of him are practically non existant, saw a few that Archie Bell had but nothing since then dy
