Twinshock

Anyone had any experence decoking/repacking the exhaust on an Ossa mar 1976? mine appears to have had some work at some stage as both boxes have been cut all the way around and then welded back up. Is this the best way to do it? will the perforated tubes come out attached to one end only?

Does anyone know what the MOT regs are regarding speedo, horn, and number plates for a 1974 TY 250? The bike doesn't have lights but I want to get a daytime MOT like I have on my (1961)B40, however I'm not sure if the regs are different for a later bike.

I know its not a trials bike, but this has to be close to some sort of record for a production twinshock Husky Auto Enduro Martin

Hello gentlemen On my visit back in May 2003 I met Don Smith on the evening of 1st Scottish Pre65 day at the Clachaig Inn, where I stayed with my father. It was about 7 pm and I had a beer at the pub, during my father Mark (80 years old)had a nap before dinner. Next table to me where 2 gentlemen, one was smoking selfmade cogarettes. I asked him, if he would mind me smoking a ciagar? "Of course not, go ahead!". I asked the two seniors, what the were doing here? "Watching the Pre65!" one guy answered. "Years ago, I competed myself, but I never won".."Oh, you must have been good, then" I answered, " Whats your name?" I asked getting courious. "Don Smith." ??? "You must be j…

Hi, does anyone out there have a real nice looking pair they'd sell me for my 349 Cota museum bike? They don't even have to work, just look good.

Hello all, Does anyone have any old copies of Kickstart, with Peter Purves? From what I remember from the TV, it was brilliant viewing, and should be a great watch for us saddo's. I always remember Eddy Lejeune was the man to beat on Honda. I've scanned google, but not turned up anything. Has anyone re-issued it yet? N.B. Adult version, of course!!!

Look what I found in my garage. Looks like my two yellows had a baby!

Can anyone out there help me find out how much gearbox oil goes in a mont 200, please? The bike is a HM from about 79-80, but I think they are all the same, even the 125/175 versions. Help would be appreciated, Thanks

Asking on behalf of a mate, is it possible to dismantle (cut ?) a Sherpa exhaust and repack it. If so how, and should both boxes be repacked ? Thanks in advance ... Mike

i decided to try to get the dents out of my beamish tank tonite. my mate came over, we blocked up th petrol tap hole, fitted the air hose to the petrol cap breather, then i went to make a cuppa. when i got back, my mate is standing there with a sheepish look, and what looks like a yellow football. he just let rip with the compressor tap and promptly heard a loud DINK!! noise. luckaly the pipe blew off the petrol cap, so it didnt explode. so if anyone know of a beamish tank, please let me know. cheers Ben ps i'll try and sort some pictures

Thought you might find this pic interesting. It is Clive Dobson (500t in the Talmag and Scottish) on the 4 stroke Gollner Kawasaki at Horsham clubs Presidents Cup at Plaistow early 80's. I believe only one was made that started off as yellow then became red, apparently the engine wsa pretty standard KL with some KT ratios modified to fit, nice bike tho'.

Anyone have a Tel No for WES? Want to speak direct not through a dealer.

I'm helping my son in law to fettle his mid 70's Bultaco next week by all accounts it's stood in his barn for ages so first thing is change the oil,any advice on type of gearbox oil and correct quantity,many thanks H

SIX FROM THE SCOTTISH - DUKE VIDEO Colour footage from six old Scottish Six days trials events from 1952 up to 1969. Just got my copy and its brilliant, worth a tenner of any trialers money to see the old (in colour and really good quality) footage of all the classic sections. Just makes you realise how tough they were in them days as none of em were teenagers and none had support of any kind. Bike broke on Rannoch Moor, you fixed it or walked. Some well known faces there including Bill Wilkinson, Don Smith, Arthur Lampkin, Sammy Miller, Mick Andrews and a very young Malc Rathmell. Highly recommended for any christmas list.
