  1. Another one has turned up on ebay - Item number: 150189666644 Two and a half grand cheaper too. Who said they're rare....
  2. Part 3 now live: cheers. BTW - don't miss Len Hutty in part 2 showing the others how it should be done There is also the rare sight of Peter Gaunt coming completely unstuck after almost completing a very tough climb in part 3.
  3. Hi again, I've uploaded some more footage, this time of the Old Codgers Trial 2005 once again held at Hungry Hill near Aldershot. I've had tp split into three parts as You Tube will only allow 10 minute maximum file lengths. It's a lot more comprehensive than the Talmag stuff. Once again, enjoy the sight and sound of some lovely old classics in action... well the sight at least as the audio seems to have somehow escaped.. grr... I'll check at out... lol UB (part 3 to follow, once it's uploaded)
  4. Hi Chaps, I finally managed to find time to capture, edit, and upload some video footage I took at the TALMAG Trophy Trial in 2006 Any comments welcome. Enjoy!
  5. Hi odgie Quality website mate - I laughed and laughed at some of the yarns and pics of broken motors!! Then I realised, I have some video footage of you riding the C11 in the 2000 Pre-65 Scottish complete with running commentary. Let me know if your interested and I could 'digitise' it and mail it to you for inclusion on your site. Cheers UB
  6. Came across this picture of SM riding 786 GON in the 1962 John Douglas trial. I thought I should add it to the gallery.
  7. I've never seen one. All the Bullets I've seen have had a standard looking rear subframe. I have occasionaly seen Bullet engines shoe horned into lighter smaller RE Continental 250 frames. Perhaps that's the way to go? HTH
  8. Here's a pic I took a couple of months ago at the New Milton Museum: HTH
  9. Looked at Falcons. Nice but pricey for my current needs. NJB ones with the universal bearings at each end are a nice idea, but completely untested AFAIK. Betors were a good compromise of price and quality and I've seen them around on plenty of other 250cc machines, so I went with those in the end. Cheers
  10. Re: the picture of the carb and filter. You do realise that the choke is closed in that position? That wouldn't help. Just wondering at it appears to be in the same position in the other pics as well.
  11. Miller supply them. Cost = an arm and a leg. They also supply fibre glass ones that look just as good IMO and are in some ways more prctical. They only cost an arm and half a leg.
  12. Hello Welcome aboard. No need to rebuild wheels There's a guy that sells 19" trials tyres on Ebay for 30 quid each. He has some on there at the moment. Do a search for Item number: 8069837118 "NEW TRIALS TYRE, 2.75 X 19". He may be able to supply wider ones for the rear. Good luck. UB
  13. Ok, the Otter/C15 is almost complete to the point where I can start riding it. One thing I need to do is replace the cheap NJB shocks that I've been using as 'place holders' for something a little better - I'm thinking a pair of Betors or similar. Does anyone have anything suitable knocking about? or can anybody offer any suggestions/advice as to where I can get something reasonably competative for a sensible price? Cheers UB
  14. Boyer ignition has no advance/retard and is always fully advanced - or so I was told. PVL is far superior in this respect.
  15. Ok - 'cheap' multigrade it is then. I think I'll go for the 'green' stuff that is designed for 'older' engines. Basically similar to the old Duckams 20/50. Next up - gearbox oil. What do people put in there? The same oil as in the engine or thicker gear oil, say 50 grade? Cheers UB
