Doing some research for my neighbour Gav, and looking for info for you in the know (or who have a copy Four-Stroke Finale) What year/season did Eddy LeJeune ride an RTL for the first time ? and does anyone know what the UK registration number (if it was UK) ? I am assuming on a B or a C plate ?

Hi all I'm looking for an old trials rider from the '60s and '70s called Mike Saintey. He should be around about 70 now. The last address I have for him is in Portsmouth where he was staying in 1998. The reason I'm looking for him is that he was the first owner of my Cheetah trials bike and I'm hoping to get some info that will assist me in restoring it to "as competed" condition. Thanks in advance. David

Hi I am renovating a montesa 348. I have bought chain guard runners for it but am missing the brackets that hold it in place. anyone know where i can get them please?

For some reason we seem to be getting reports that the Normandale - Traditional series is undergoing major changes, with classes being dropped etc This is not true - and has certainly not been gleaned from any official source. To date - No major changes in this popular and successful series are being planned

After a little hiatus, both riding and also writing, have made some updates to the twinshock.org.uk website, including - pictures of another Beta TR240 twinshock, thats in better looking condition than mine - same owners piccies of his Gaunt Suzuki ....ridden by the man himself in that years Scottish - and how to fry a 1980 SWM 320TL on a hill climb / T&O event I'll be at the Classic (in)Experts on Saturday, will bring the camera and hopefully get back to more reports and blogging. I also bought a Pampera this week; (the last monoshock i had was when a Betor shock fell off the Jumbo at a Wye Valley trial) but i'm looking to keep it quiet.Did its first section ye…

Hello, I'm looking for an AJS 350 short stroke barrel or complete engine, can anyone help? I've seen a few post on here mentioning them so I thought it would be worth a try. I think you can get short stroke barrels with external push rod covers, but I'm looking for the type which had the rods inside the barrel. I know that people are still casting the long stoke alloy barrels, but not sure about the short stroke versions. Many thanks

Hey guys, 1st post. looking for a early to late 70's sherpa t around Victoria B.C. Canada area. I've had a few ty250's but know nothing about Bultaco. Any advice on purchasing? what to look for ect. Is there any models I should stay away from?

So I finally got some pics of my dad tooling around in the yard with his TLR 250 (I think). I know it is a fairly rare bike, but I'm not sure exactly what model it is. I guess I could always ask him then eh?

Hi, If, for example, I built a Hi-Boy framed TL125 using a new SM frame and an old TL125 as the donor machine, can I register it for road use? If so what's the process? Will it have a Q plate or can it take the number of the donor bike, for example? Thanks in advance.
