rwillett i am just curious but where did you ring haven trialsport or shirty?

nice to be of help to you.

im almost sure that haven motorcyles at barrow haven have still got some. he has very competitive prices also. see the link http://www.haven-trialsport.co.uk/ could you please get back to me if you decide to give him a try. thankyou

yes i was there my self. gary was supposed to set off 1st and was 2nd. erm not sure of final results or anything but i do no that dan thorpe only dropped 14 which was a tidy ride. there was 6" of snow everywhere and it was the coldest day ever it was however a craking trial..

the best place to go see the best youths in the country perform is at the Y.M.S.A club which is actually run around matlock. infact i have just got home from their last trial of the year which was held at braken rocks (holloway). check out the dates for next year and all of the results and pictures to wet his appetite for next year. hope to see you around. the website is www.ymsatrials.org

hi andy i dont want to upset but there is actually one or two 4t's about, and i definitely no of one because as ive previously said in this discussion a chap called james noble ( well known in yorkshire) was riding one at baliss gap farm at the werthby club last weekend.

ok the thing about gas gas making no effort about the 4 stroke is just what is going about if you no what i mean. but i can clearly remember the laptop stuff been metioned in trials and motorcross!

hang on a minute how can you sey 2 strokes are made for such use when it is a fact that the yamaha 4 stroke engine is acually used for dyke pumps in the east. infact if you say the 2 strokes are bad on emmissions i could argue that the 4 strokes create a hell of a noise!! have u actually heard a few of them rev??????. and the reason why gas gas have made no effort in the bid for the best four stroke is because they have been aproached and told if they can slightly and i highlight the word slightly reduce emissions then they are aloud to continue in the production of the 2 strokes. hence why the final date for the end of the 2 strokes got put back further and further and finally has been dropped!!!!!!!

in todays sections the 2 stroke is king. the 2 stroke is quicker of the bottom, revs higher and cleaner and is simply all together a more user frindly machine. there are however rumours that the 4t offers more grip than the 2 stroke option. well this is just a rumour!!! trust me ive seen one last week in competetion and it had no advantage. i think the reason is people hear a four stroke and it does admitadly sound soft on the bottom end however there is no where near as much feal and if you shut the 4 strokes down on the bottom end they will have a good go at throwing you over the bars due to the engine breaking. another reason why 2 strokes are gonna live forever is the cost factor already discussed. but one thing that hasnt been mentioned is that the first time honda had the little japaneise riding one at twin ring motegi (japan) they actually carried a laptop aroud with them to program the egnition to respond correctly in each section. well ok not every rider needs ultimate performance like them boys but still if they have to use egnition programing equipment to make the four strokes as good as the 2 strokes then why not just stick with the 2 strokes. why try and make the 4 strokes something that they arent, when we all have perfectly good 2 strokes in our sheds.

rather then attempting this leep and landing on the sump everytime surely yuo could alter you technique to make sure you land more on the back wheel and let the suspension do all of the work rather then your engine. and if this is not possible then i would seriously consider not doing it!

im not from ireland myself but i am aware that there are quite a few good riders over there. a few good youths that i met at the youth british championships in years gone by. robert andrews, shaun turkington, harold macquaid etc..... so your not on your own mate!!! i do now that they sey to get to the good trials they have to come over to england but then i gets pricy!!!
