Hello does anyone have a postcode for the start of the bemrose? Any help would be great full Cheers

Anybody yet seen an entry list or start times for this weekends Bemrose? May yet have to sort out an overnight stay.

Does anybody know if the Bemrose is on this year. I know it was run last year as the bemose bowl by Man17 as Pathfinders were not doing it. I have not seen the regs advertised in TMX yet and I think that it is usually the 1st weekend in September. Its an excellent trial, so would really like yo ride if its on. Thanks Doogle

Seems that Ben will be riding a Beta this year. Did I miss an anouncement or has there not been one yet? Strange that he has left GAS GAS, Ben must be the UKs biggest hope for the future in my estimation.

I recently bought some Fantic twin shock bits from a chap called Ben Owen - I wonder if any one might have a contact number for him as I seem to have misplaced the one I had. Cheers The Wobbler

I'm sure this post has been done to death, but I'm getting more confused the more I read about things. I'm wanting to start trial riding for a bit of fun,nothing too competitive as yet. The last time I rode a bike was about 25 years ago and it was Yamaha TY175, the bike it's self will have been at least 10 years old at the time and you needed a crane to lift the front end up (you get the picture). I want something suitable and reliable but also something manageable, that won't fling me off at every opportunity. From what I've read the beta rev 3 seems to come recommended, but I don't really know. My inital thoughts were to go for something older but in good condition…

OK - Just to humour me - and get away from ACU matters etc I pose the following question to you all in this season of merriment and good will. For the average - Clubman rider - of limited ability - which s/hand trials machine - circa 2000 - 2005 woukld you say is the easiest to ride in a muddy, cambered type sections? Let us presume it is fitted with a Michelin - and is a 250/280 and in good order. I refer to sections with slippery short climbs ( not balls out climbs) - where grip is always at a premium and skill is at a minimum. Which 2 stroke machine would you choose? - all otherb criteria not important.

Can anyone recommend a lightweight jacket that keeps you dry? I'm looking for something suitable for our English summer that's still waterproof after its been washed, doesn't fill up with condensation and doesn't make you sweat. Is there such a thing?

i havent been riding long and i was wondering where (if any) great and challenging places to ride round the uk are and if so why? is it a rock field , a muddy mound , a stream or a woodland or forest.
