What is reconed to be the best product to line a leaking steel fuel tank? I have soldered all the leaks and tested it under pressure. However, I suspect that it won't be too long before other leaks develop. Thanks in anticipation

Dunno who's seen this but if you haven't it's worth a look:

I am off to the Lincolnshire Poachers trial at Wickenby Airfield in the morning and just Googled "Wickenby" to check where it is when I came across this poignant reminder of our recent history. Now just described with a few statistics this airfield is lost in our memory but with Remembrance Sunday just around the corner it seems fitting to remember all those lost in war to give us the freedoms we now enjoy.. ""300 wartime operations were flown from Wickenby with 160 Lancasters and 6 Wellingtons Lost. The memorial at Wickenby commemorates 1,080 aircrew who lost their lives flying from here. From September 1942 to September 1945, "12 Squadron Bomber Command" with …

Sorry about the poor quality but these photo's have been around for a few years! Taken in 1969 at a Chelmsford & Dist mcc Trial at Broomfield Pits. Shows Don DR Smith riding his works Cota 247 Reg No UMV 10F That had won the Team Prize at the SSDT that year along with Gordon Farley & Lawrence Telling. As ever in one shot DR had the obligatory 'Ciggy' on. Dave Cox

Does Drayton have a Website

What year is this Bultaco Sherpa? I'm told its a 1974 but I'm not so sure. What do you think?

Hi folks, I posted this earlier this week, but for some reason it was taken off. I had one response and would like to hear from others. I am looking to replace my Amal carb with a Mikuni on my 73 Ossa Explorer / MAR. Can anyone aim me in the right direction as far as what size and model, as well as what size main and pilot jets. Also I would like to hear from people that have done this, and how it changed the throttle response. Thanks

While looking around I came across this Classic dirt bike Nice Bultaco and Mick Andrews so must be worth a look, 2 new YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE both out in November looks like were getting spoilt. Scott.

Good morning, I recently purchased a RL to restore - does anyone know what engine the RL crosses over to? I need a chain guard cover for the left side. Thank you in advance.

Hello guys, last year I've got a 1973 Explorer with a semi-seized engine. Managed to find another one that should be in working conditions but the owner doesn't know which model it's from. I tried putting the engine in, it looks the same when it comes to frame brackets but it doesn't fit... it's like it's slightly thicker than the stock one where the engine meets the frame in the swingarm/filter area. Also noticed the right side sprocket cover is different (longer)... any idea? Is it better to slightly file the engine bracket or the frame?

Looking at the todo trial classic site, and also in the video on zona trial, i notice one of the top twinshock riders is using an aprilia TXR mono converted to twinshock. I know its a mono because theres a few subtle differences from the t-shock frame and i have owned both models. Are the spanish now allowing converted mono's or is he pulling a cheeky one?

Hi I am new to this site just after some help I have been looking at a Can-am 250 hiro.The bike is only the frame engine wheels and tires just wanting a rough price to what it maybe worth in anyone could help Many thanks.

Looking for help, I have a Ossa tr-80 coming from Spain, it is several weeks away and I would like to get a pair of Maxton rear shock absorbers under way before it get here. The units are built to order, the information they need is; front and rear axle weight, swing arm pivot to rear axle swing arm pivot to bottom shock mount swing arm pivot to top shock mount shock absorber length top shock eye diameter and width bottom shock eye diameter and width. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you. Alistair

Any irc tyres in U.K. ?

Does anyone here know if there is much of a trials following in Northern Ireland. I have someone travelling over every few weeks and with an empty van it would make sense to try and unearth some bikes to shift on this end?? Thanks in advance

I was lucky to purchase 2 Dalesmans at the weekend with a load of spares to go with them. First thing is; Along with the spares was a folder which has a Puch engine manual in it with full parts list and numbers, exploded diagrams and some other litarature. Second thing; one of the petrol tanks is the fibreglass tank/seat unit. How do you think this will cope with todays petrol? Trevor
