Hello All,Please help if you can, have had this bike locked away in my mums garage for at least 15 years, swapped it for an air rifle then promptly did something else, always meant to get round to doing it up! What I remember of the original Transport for Arms transaction discussion, was the owner thought it was originally a Ty175 but was now 200cc, a whitehawk?, nickel/chrome frame,and oil pump removed and its now premix! Any Help or hints etc would be gratefully received!! Cheers Matt

Looking to pick the brains of 2 stroke guru's. Have a Villiers 250 fitted with a Marcel barrel (trials) and am having carb problems. The engine seems to run rich, and to get a 'normal' plug reading, and no oil in the exhaust, it needs a 100/110 main jet. With that fitted, the needle in the top ring, and a No4 slide fitted the engine runs ok at all settings above 1/8th open, ie just a little rich looking at the plug (GKN BP5ES) and 2 stroking as it should. Now the difficult bit! With a 25 idle jet I can get it to tick-over, but at low throttle openings, ie less than1'8th, the engine 4 strokes. If I open out the air screw to where it will 2 stroke, it will not tick over, ex…

Hello, I would like to fit some new seals on my Metal Profile s200 forks. Do I need to remove the sliders from the tubes to do this? If so does anyone know how to do this? When I try to undo the bolt at the bottom of the fork that goes up into the damper the whole assembly goes round inside the tube. Any ideas anyone please. Also if anyone else has a Wassell Bantam I would love to hear from you and exhange pics and info etc.

Back in the day, many trials where held on Army Estates in and around both Aldershot and Bordon. These venues and the trials, attracting hundreds of riders, yet finding any information/history on them (Talmag excluded), even in this information age is proving difficult to do. Has anybody got a potted history or can point me to a reference source to any of the trials, clubs, riders or photo’s of that era? Or even better still, post them on this site, with reminisces, photo’s etc.

have a session on Google and came accross this excellent Austrian web site which along with some great pictures of Alta, Gaunt and Collier Suzukis, has (in German) some information on KTM trials bikes, with some pictures of bikes from 1975-77. Looks like there was a works team at the Scottish, but love to know if there are bikes around in the UK, or if anyone rode one ?

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

Does anybody have contact details to try and get an entry for the Nostalgia. If it not already full, i've heard it may well be?

I am looking for some alloy engine plates and a central alloy oil tank for a Matchless trials bike. 1960 G3C engine , AMC gearbox and trials frame. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So, we all go on about events for the classics and then there are 4 on the same day. Why can't people talk to each other in order to avoid calendar clashes like this?
