b40rt Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 thats the problem with a democratic club the members can vote for the rules and if a majority agree the rule is made.. other clubs are available but if you know of another purely pre65 bike club with a membership the equal of Yorks classic i d be surprised, if you know of another purely pre65 bike club organising as many pre65 bike trials as Yorkshire classic i d be surprised. i you know of any pre 65 bike club that has more riders than yorks classic i d be surprised. if you know of anywhere as good as yorkshire id be amazed add to that trials add to that pre65 and its a recipe that cant be beaten anywhere in the world... Carlsberg couldnt do better.. Merely pointing out inconsistencies arise. Ridden and enjoyed The Captains and Waterside, but wouldn't compare them to Kinloch, totally different.

woody Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Again, purely out of curiosity, how can a Mills frame be eligible for the Pre65 or Pre70 class at Yorks Classic? Their rules on replica frames state that it must be recognisable as the original and the Mills frame isn't a replica of anything. Neither do they allow the rear shock angle to be altered, even on an original frame It would have to be ridden as a special You've got to love the logic behind some of the rules that are out there. My old C15 had an original 1959 frame and 1962 engine. I lowered the rear subframe which is allowed but had to move the shock mounts as well to do it. I also changed the top mounts from the awful shrouded type to pegs the same as is standard on the swingarm so that the shocks were a more practical push on fit. I cut off the huge ugly rear mudguard loop because I hated it. All of these mods were achievable prior to 1965. But, even though it was an original (and bent and twisted) 1959 frame, those changes meant it was a special and it would have had to compete in the specials class against all sorts of modernised machinery. A brand new Cub with the 'correct' new components, with 290cc which wasn't achievable before 1965, and fitted with a brand new Dellorto carb, can compete in the normal unit class - but mine was a special... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
