  1. Today
  2. BC and Sask haven't talked to anybody about 2026 as of yet.
  3. Yesterday
  4. And who exactly is doing this back and forth?
  5. One year later and I've just fitted my rear brake rod ( 5mm diameter) to the rose joint off the brake pedal and to a new rear drum brake arm I've made. All ok but rod flexes ( bends) when in use , not ideal. To this end I've ordered some 8mm diameter thick wall tubing which I hope will do the job. Hopefully I'll put some pics on the site once I'm done. P.S. I found out too late you cannot fit the brake pedal once the engines in. I had to grind of the left hand side to get it to fit and then fitted a longer oilite bush and sleeve to make up the lack of length.
  6. There has been a fair bit of back and forth. Hoping to have it settled this week. Best guess at this point is BC Oct 5-6, 2024, Sask 2025... East 2026
  7. CMA National date and venue for 2024 sure would be nice to know when and where so people can plan holiday and travel time 😐 Is it Derek up to bat ?

    Thanks a lot for the information! Meanwhile we managed to get a spot at a camping ground close to the paddock. Physical training is in progress, of course. I already watched the whole YT series. I know it's a hard timeline so we planned to go through the sections rapid. We are both very experienced riders but there is no training area in Germany that comes any close to the terrain we will have. 😅 I started moto trials early at the age of six and did countless competitions in youth (40 today). Had a lot of breaks during the years and got a TRS in December just for the SSDT. I promised my mate to join if he can start and luckily we both are able now. One more thing I'm wondering about.. There will be some sections that end at the start of the next section, I heard. Is it allowed to rest between these two sections? Or do you have to go through both sections in a row without resting?
  9. lol and yet you are going to discover muscles that you did not know exist. Your MX experience is why I believe you will have no problem with the engine power, if you have good throttle and clutch control you should be able to ride anything. Front brake may take some getting accustom to because they are about twice as sensitive as typical MX and Enduro bike brakes, only use one finger on the trials bike if you are normally using two fingers to brake your MX bike. Brakes are something you use occasionally on a MX bike to slow you down, Trials riding will have you on the brakes almost as much as the throttle.
  10. Virtual world meant Internet) I know about hard work as I have been riding MX bikes over 20 years!
  11. Virtual World 🤔 is that a video game? Gammers don't know about riding motorcycles. Anything you see one of those competition bikes go over, the other one will follow, none of them will make it any easier than the other it is all hard work. You aren't buying just a motorcycle you are buying a gasoline powered exercise machine.
  12. Correct they have all parts + special price on the club membership and the guy threw in the deal three free 1.5 hours lessons on top of a good price for the bike. I guess GasGas will stay in the Dealer)
  13. Wow. That sounds like a great facility. The Vertigo would be a nice choice if they are able to do the repairs and services.
  14. I've use fiberglass and plastic gard on a dirt track bike without any problem
  15. The guy that is selling the Vertigo Bikes is the Russian National Multichampion and he as a " trial club/school " . It's a piece of land in which he has build a trial course with obstacles of different kind and level with a shop that has mechanics and spear parts. Himself and another guy offer training lessons. I can leave the bike there and I will have a place for my equipment and showers/sauna. Outside the club you can do some free ride as well but is kind of flat around that area.
  16. This is just marketing. A 300cc trials bike is a high end competition bike.
  17. Which bike is really very personal, but the 300cc bikes are more difficult to learn on as they are very powerful. If that is the only option then you will have to accept you will find it a little more difficult at first. All 4 options are good and whatever you buy will be a good bike, just a bit more difficult to learn than - for example a 125cc. It will be much more important that you have somewhere to ride and someone to help you learn. You can find a lot of good instruction on YouTube but having a good rider to watch you makes a big difference.
  18. From the little literature I found in internet it seems that GasGas is more of a " Racing " bike and the Vertigo is a little more " all around " and easier bike to ride. Is this a correct impression I got from the " virtual world " ?
  19. Sanctions don't really work as a matter of fact. Russians always find a way to turn around restrictions and this is from the soviet union's times.
  20. I wish I could try a bike but there are no bikes for test plus I am a super newbie and can't really judge. This is why I am asking you guys as you might tell me which bike is easier and which bike is a no way for newbie. The 250 cc bikes are not imported at all here.
  21. 2024 Vertigo? I thought there was an EU ban on exporting motorcycles priced above €5000 into Russia. Is that no longer in effect?
  22. Last week

    Gear box

    Cota 348. After rebuildinbg the engine the gears do not shift smoothly, so the engine is in pieces again. I want to set the end play on the drive, input shafts and the shifter shaft. Can anyone tell me what the end play tollerance is and if anyone has any advice then please share.
  26. Changed the throttle body on my 2015 Repsol and it wouldn’t start. Came back to this thread to reset the tickover screw. Whoop, whoop.
  27. None of these points/comparisons you make are as important as how a bike feels to ride. Trying a bike is vital if you are thinking of buying.My advice is get the 250 which feels the most comfortable.
