Classic Trials

As some of you know i am heavily involved with a couple of local Classic Clubs and have stood on my soapbox on many occaisions in the past about Classic trials etc. Well one of the Clubs is having big problems with small entries. Basically if things dont soon change the club will have to either use one venue only or close. The Club needs approx 35 entries minimum to break even at most venues. Ok some are more expensive, Bracken Rocks etc, than others, typically Carsons Fm, but the Club has been making a loss of late and this can not and will not continue. So what to do ? Raise entry fees ? well they are currently

Hi guys, I'm tearing my hair out here ! Have a 77 Ossa MAR 250 which won't rev out. I've tried everything plugs , carburetion , cleaned the exhaust, sent the Motoplat unit away to Spain for repair and testing. Engine is totally rebuilt on new seals and bearings. Everything in tip top condition , but it will only run cleanly to about 3/4 throttle and then misfires and won't rev out. Any ideas ? Cheers.

Anybody have any information on the next classic round, the Rosebowl trophy run by sutton falcons, theres no address on the acu page to send entries or who do I contact for onfo on it.

This years annual Haggis Auto jumble is on the 3rd of February at Lanark Market.Always a good doo, plenty of bargains to be had, cheers the noo Brian

Any know where to get them ?

I' am "fiddeling" with gearing of my bike (Aprilia TXR) to find the ratio that fit's to my riding /personal taste. First try was: 42 rear + 12 front which was to high, 42 rear + 11 front was too slow, 42/12 = 3.50 42/11 = 3.82 Now there are two possibilities: 40/11 = 3.63 44/12 = 3.74 (with a half link) Which won to choose: a smaller rear sprocket won't be hit so easy accidentally then a bigger one. Then again a 11 teeth front sprocket will wear faster is difficult to get thus expensive compared to a 12 teeth. What would you choose or any better ratios?

Rode in the above trial today, well done to the new team running the club well laid out sections, a good sized entry a very enjoyable event. Good luck hope to see you at future trials.

Hi Guy's Just got back from the pre trial party. And what I will say is, you don't want to miss the one tomorrow evening if that is the standard set. Every one seems pleased with the set up despite the rain 24 hours ago. And the standard of the show bikes that have already arrived is breathtaking. You would be a fool to miss the opportunity to not to come along and see the trials set up of the future. So spoil yourself this weekend, and drop what your doing and get to Stoneleigh Park. PS after tonight Alan Whitton, is now named Elvis the second. Regards Charlie.

Hi Could anyone give me some advise on how to fit front wheel oil seals on a Bultaco Sherpa? Do you need to grease all the items before replacement? Kind Regards Tony

Hi, I am in Edinburgh and thinking of joining a local trials bike club so looking for suggestions. I am not good enough to enter competitions and would rather just access practice areas so no point in joining a serious competitions focused club. I discovered the East Neuk wobblers (in Fife) and like what they say but no response to emails and no phone numbers so it may be a dead club but looked like what would suit me. Thanks

What do you think of this? Came upon a 1971 Sherpa T basket case. Motor is shot (chunk out of case, wont turn over, etc) but the frame& wheels are good. I have several 74 TY 250 motors and was wondering if it would be worth the effort to put a yamaha motor into that chassis (providing that it even fits) ? Or try to make a Magesty copy? Any thought or suggestions? Cheers. Mike

I am a new trials rider, but I have been riding a long time off road. I need to get some rear shocks for a 86 TLR200 I just restored. I am about 220# and bottom the current set up. I want to hear form the guys have replaced their shocks already. Thanks Tom in MA.
