  1. Thanks Border, time to get on the phone to Terry!
  2. So you should be - bike looks brilliant! The Terry Weedy tank interests me - if it fits a M27 I think it would fit a M49. Was it a straightforward fit?
  3. Sadly it's doesn't qualify for the ACU Trailbike Trials series because it's wheelbase is under 1350mm and fuel tank capacity is under 5 litres. I don't know what the seat length is but that's the other criteria for bikes in this series. Of course, there are plenty of long distance trials not in the series - it's up to the organisers to decide what class it's in. Unfortunately, it seems the manufacturers of trail/longride bikes don't know what an LDT is - if only Gas Gas would make a trials-derived 2 stroke Pampera again! The Sherco X-ride is within the rules and a good bike but IMO it ain't no Pampera.
  4. John, Glenn - thanks very much. Lever it is then!
  5. Have any TY80 dads out there fitted an "easy clutch" or clutch lightener? It seems there are 2 ways of doing it - is one of them better than the other? http://yambits.co.uk/ty80-easy-clutch-p-32444.html http://www.tytrials.co.uk/trailandtrialsuk/prod_47644-Clutch-Lightening-Lever-Forged.html Many thanks
  6. Would be great to meet up - we have been feeling in the dark a bit since taking it on as a non runner, although the bike is very original we are trying to make it a bit better. Feel free to message me your contact details.
  7. Great to see interest in the Scorpion - we have one of Dave Lomas' 2 bikes and would really like to be in contact with former riders and current owners. I rode it in the 2012 pre 65 Scottish http://www.wgdfmcc.org.uk/events/othertrials/pre65_scottish_2012.htm and the bike will be there again this year in case I can get a ride (more in hope than expectation!). There's a pic of it in the 2 stroke trials book after Dave Lomas removed the tank and put the fuel in the frame. Here's a pic of it now:
  8. It's something I had to have a look at, very impressive. I took a pic on day 1 of the SSDT12 at Leanachen: http://www.acuwesterncentre.org.uk/images/ssdt12_beta420_2.JPG Bore and stroke on the motor said 78 x 62
