Anyone seen or heard anything about Brian Hutchinson (Stokesley) - He was a big hero of mine throughout the 70's and 80's, riding Montesa's and laterly Bultaco 175's. If anyone has any pics, please post, so we can see the farming genious in action. Cheers,

In case anyone didn't hear this sunday's Talmag Trophy Trial, the big annual pre 65 British bike meet at Hungry Hill, Aldershot has been cancelled due the MOD withdrawing the land

How do you find either of the above on a twinshock or pre 65? what are the benifits of either?

Hello Im wondering if anyone could shed any light on my great grandad. We have a trophy for the 1937 ISDT for Joe Hudson. He would probably have been a sidecar passenger, although he may have ridden solo. does anyone have the results or the entry list for tis trial? thanks Jack

I have a 1972 Bultaco 350 Model 92, registered 1/8/1972, (original red Slimline SM replica glass tank) and I am just wondering if anyone knows the correct silver paint colour on the tank - i.e. similar to Ford Silver Fox ? The tank appears to have been painted as the black "pinstripe" between the red tank and silver flash which has the "Bultaco" sticker is raised in profile. I just wanted to paint the silver part and was looking for a matching colour.

Theres an hour long program on Men & motors (Sky ch131) starting at 8.00pm on the recent Stafford Classic Bike show, i would have posted this earlier but only just found it.

This year i have been lucky enough to get an entry. As i have never ridden before in Scotland, competitively that is got stuck in a green bog last year just trying to get to my section to observe, what tools bits etc do you/should you carry round with you? Also what do you prepare differently if anything on the bike? Serious answers preferred but i'm sure old Slappers will have something to say as usual

Hi, I am new to trials and I'd like to get into classic trials. I have an old twin shock Fantic and would at some later stage like to take up pre65. Does anyone know of clubs in central Scotland that accomodates this line of the sport or do I join a trials club and just go along with my Fantic? Cheers

After completing an Ossa TR 350 last year (1st restoration) i wanted to give it another go, however the Ossa cost me quite a lot of money so i wanted to see what could be achieved on a tight budget. I had a Yam TY 250 in the back of the Garage and i bought a little Montesa Cota 200 for

I need the chrome front pipe for a Bultaco Sherpa 49 - the original horizontal type not the kit version as fitted to type 80 for the downward pointing silencer. There are none available in the UK at the moment, I've tried the US with Hugh's, Hogans and a couple of others but no luck. I've found a website in Spain for Romeromoto and they have them but I can't speak Spanish and his English is not too good - communications have failed after a couple of e-mails.... He has them but I just can't order one... Does anyone know of anywhere that has these exhaust pipes for sale? Mr Greeves - do you know of anywhere in Spain that I can get one from? They must be available somewhe…

So the '.. regret to inform you letter ...' has arrived. What do you have to do to get an entry? 1. Move overseas? 2. Ride a pre-unit? 3. Find an obscure make of machine to ride? 4. Have your daughter ride with you even if she is no good and hates it? 5. Find a friend in Scotland from which to post your entry? 6. Put your entry in the envelope with a former stars? All of the above I don't object to the likes of Mick Grant, Eric Boocock, Mick Wilkinson, Peter Gaunt etc and other well known names getting an entry. They have dedicated their lives to the sport and deserve it. It has to attract spectators and that's fine. But it's the young riders (under 40/45) give…

After reading in the Classic trials press, the Pre 65 Scotish allows tubless type tyres to be used with a tube in their regulations....but not without. Could someone enlighten me with the logic behind this and also do tubless tyres run without a tube... offer any proven advantage and if so what. Thanks

Anyone have the settings for a 199cc cub fitted with a 22mm dellorto, jets/needle position etc.
