  1. cant get he link to work - any idea where else i can get this info from?
  2. Does anyone know if entries are open yet and where will I get an entry form? Cheers
  3. Never really leaked there, but always dressed it with silicone, leak coming from top right close to where the carb is fitted. No cracks visible so hoping just a clean up and 're gasket.
  4. Will that lever really make that much difference? I need to remove the cover anyway as I have a leak, so will probably use the opportunity to extend it any way, am I right in thinking if I then use this leaver I will lighten it still further? Or . Will using both inhibit the clutch from engaging fully, as the cable is not been 'pulled' enough?
  5. I have read through quite a few topics involving my queries, but I have a couple more queries. I have a Gori 200, 1982, I think is the same of the 1978 red / white model ? I have used the bike sparingly over the last 3 year, it's a great bike, but is let down by the clutch action / performance. When using the clutch adjuster via the hole in the clutch case, I cannot prevent either the clutch dragging, or slipping ( in higher gears), is this a common glitch or is it likely the plates are knackered. I was intending on extending the arm, is there a max amount I can get away with, should the extension, be straight? As the clutch is very heavy, what springs do you recommend and do I fasten them up tight or back them off? I have not stripped it down yet, just wanted some pointers so I know what I can check as I take it apart. All advise appreciated
  6. Should be a belter Scotty, good banter round the fire on the night with a beer or two or.......... as well, hopefully this carp weather will have passed and mother nature will be kind. See you there.
  7. My rev 3 was exactly the same, the fan motor gives a much lower output than say that of a gas gas, when running on tick over or low revs, the fan speed on these bikes increases greatly as the revs are increased, so if you rode a trial, the blast between sections would normally be enough to cool the bike, still not convinced? I wasn't either, but had all the volt outputs measured, they were all fine, had the bike 2 years it was fine.
  8. This will be our 5th year , we only get to use this land once a year If you haven't been, please checkout Paul or my Facebook page, we both have pics on there, action and terrain pics from the last couple of years or you could just ask those who have been. Help make this the best year yet. If anyone can help with observing, please let us know Cheers Steve
  9. Just had confirmation from the Great North Air ambulance (whom we are raising money for) - are supporting the event themselves & that one of there volunteers will be there both days before the start of each day. This is a great charity & all riders in this area may need this service one day - See you all there this weekend. I will not be at the venue from Friday morning, but may get some reception on the evening for anyone with any questions. Remember everyone is welcome.
  10. All Sections sorted now - another 9hrs up there with wri5ty yesterday - all sections sorted, even got some flagged. Stream sections are in fine fettle - and the new woodland sections ride really well. Lets hope mother nature is kind. If any riders can bring an observer with them that would be appreciated. Remember enter at start, in aid of Gt North Air Ambulance. See You there.....
  11. The work for this years Charity 2 day (great North Air Ambulance) is well underway -This Year Sept 8 & 9th A huge amount of work has gone into clearing copious amounts of bracken (worse than previous years) in order to make this the best year yet, Woodhead farm, Fryup is a fantastic piece of land with everything any rider of all abilities will love - Rocks (big & small), streams, Woodlands & hills - The graded hill climb will be back this year. There will be between 7 & 10 sections that are brand new this year, along some of the old favourites. The event has grown year on year and we intend this to be the best so far. The club is intending 15 sections on the Sunday, with 10 or 11 on Saturday - we will be running our 3 route system, so all classes are catered for. Full info is on the events calander -any queries, reply through the thread or contact as listed on the calender. If you havent been, you are missing out This is an open event - everyone welcome - See you there!!
  12. Middlesbrough & DMCs 2 day clubman trial this weekend has been cancelled. Although the sections & parking are excellent & ready to go, the country park area that riders must cross is heavily water logged, meaning with bikes going back & forth the potential of permenant damage was likely in this very public area. As a result the club has taken the responsible decision to cancel & thus eliminate any danger of either damge to the land or in the relationship with the new landowner. The Club has another trial planned for Sat 19th (2 weeks time) at the same venue, which hopefully weather permitting will run. Appologies to those who were planning on riding, but for the future of the event / venue, this is the right decision.
  13. Middlesbrough DMC got the good news from the new owner of 'lordstones' Carlton Bank N.Yorks that they can use the land this year. The club had resigned themselves it would not happen this year, but thankfully the club oficials have pulled it off. May 5/6 Clubman 2 day. Clubman A&B & youth (no D class) - Sections will be dual route, and despite the short notice the eager club team are hopefully going to 'extend' one of the gullies, both above and below what was used previously. Those that rode last year will be welcome to know that the hill climb will be back also. Its a great clubman venue & an enjoyable ride round too. Sat starts at 2.30 & Sunday 11am - enter on the day. (single day accepted) Exp / inters welcome for no award, or maybe come and observe instead? Please bring an observer if you can (can bring bike) If you are not in scotland - get yourself to the trial - you can use Bank Holiday to entertain the wife - its a win win. Regards Steve
