Wobbler, you are more than welcome to come up and ride the trial. It's probably the most relaxed trial(club) in the country.Great wee venue and the cakes are worth the diesel alone.Great for twin shocks- nothing silly just a good day out. cheers the noo Brian

Lothian Trials Club will be running their last trial of the year at Kidlaw.The trial is on Saturday the 9th of November.Usual start time 10.30,all classes are catered for (Modern,Twin shock,Mono's,Pre 65). Everybody welcome,for more details go to the Lothian Trails Club web-thingy. cheers the noo Brian

After all the warnings about gale force winds and heavy rain it looked like Sunday's trial would be a bit of a disaster.Not to be those who ignored the weather forecast and turned up to ride had a mixed bag of weather(even sunshine).The event itself was a great success,everyone raved about how good the sections where.After the trial riders enjoyed a BBQ with refreshments(the cakes did arrive) and everyone left with full stomachs for the journey home.The trial raised £400 for MacMillan Cancer(big pat on the back to all that entered) also thanks to Lothian Trials club for putting on great event, Mrs Broon for helping the other girls with the BBQ.And not forgetting Kelvin the landowner for use of his land . cheers the noo Brian & Alf

Mrs Broon is going on a mission to Burton's Biscuits on Tuesday for supplies-Wagon Wheels,Rockies,Viscounts.......... . cheers the noo Brian P.S. might even be Toffy Pops

Was up today giving Bryan a hand laying oot some sections,braw bit of ground-cracking burn sections,rock sections,something for everyone.Its a big lap with a cracking view at the top of the hill. Perfect for twinshock/Pre 65.Not forgetting the cakes and BBQ and its for a great cause. cheers the noo Brian

Lothian Trials Club will be holding a Charity trial on the 15th of September.The venue is Aikeyside Farm,Gifford(about a mile and a half mile west of Kidlaw).New ground which has never been trialled on.Start time is 10.30am,15 sections per lap,suitable for all abilities(modern,monos,twin shock, Pre 65 and youths).A donation will be made to the Macmillan Cancer Support.For more details check out the Lothian Trials Club website. cheers the noo Brian "Oh aye there's a BBQ aswell"

Tam,a Friday night trial and a BBQ,could get a burger each lap.Seriously where have all the Pre 65's gone ?(back in the shed till the Scottish next year?) also the twin shocks ? (tucked up under a cover till Alvie).Tam and his team work hard securing ground and laying out proper trials suited to twin shocks and Pre 65's(nothing stupid and not bike wreckers ).So why notsupport Tam and the Edinburgh St George Club's events.If you read this forum you are obviously interested in classic trials so get the bike oot the shed and have a cracking Sunday afternoon. cheers the noo Brian

Thanks to Tam for a cracking trial today,great venue and challenging sections. Pity more riders didn't turn up to support Tam,nearly got away with the weather (a couple of heavy showers).Looking forward to the next one already Tam. cheers the noo Brian

Spoke to Tetley the night and he's up for it. cheers the noo Brian

Ross,the auld ZX Spectrum cant cope. cheers the noo Brian

Bashplate, the reason the picture is soooo small is the original photo was from somewhere else.The original photo is alot bigger and shows my scorecard hanging from the number board (not a nice straight line on the left hand side-more of a zig zag ) cheers the noo Brian

When I fitted a smaller primary drive sprocket I removed the lip where the chain fouls and fitted a new bearing to the crank(which was a sealed type and removed the seal nearest the crank). cheers the noo Brian

Alf getting a wee bit hot cheers the noo Brian

Tam.I'll be there with Alf the C15,had a disaster at Alvie a bit oot my depth on the auld bike but had a good weekend a Hoggy's 2 day.Roll on Sunday. cheers the noo Brian

Aye Ross

Ross any chance you could bring your adapter to Alvie so I can check the float height(I checked it and it was too high and set it but didn't have an adapter so done it using the fuel tap and checked when the needle switched off). cheers the noo Brian

Cheers Bashplate,really looking forward to it. cheers the noo Brian

Hi Ross,rechecked the timing as per instructions.Found a Dutch website that sells the same ignition(think they import them into Britian through Electrex World),and followed their set up instructions.The timing was out about 10 degrees.The bike runs alot better carburation needs a tweak (don't want to upset the neighbours).Seen the entry list for Alvie looks mega. cheers the noo Brian

Splashed oot last week and bought an Electrex World ignition for Alf.Fitted it and it started fine but the carburation seems miles out.The bike ran fine on points and ​pulled cleanly from the bottom end now it coughs quite abit and throttle response isn't that sharp.The plug is sooty and before ignition was a nice brown colour.The carb is brand new from Amal and as I said ran perfectly before the ignition.The exhaust isn't clean and the bike smells rich and on the over run sometimes spits oot blue flames. I set up the timing using a degree disc(rupert ratio book).The carb is running a 110 main jet could any one please advise me on jetting or ignition timing any help would be much appreciated as I have entered Alvie which isn't far away. cheers the noo Brian

Well done Tam for a cracking(where's the eggs Turps? ) days trialing. Challenging sections but nothing stupid,Cammy really enjoyed himself. The auld Yam crashes well ,in the end my body gave up the ghost, glad I'm on holiday tomorrow.Thanks once again for everyone involved for putting on the trial and the farmer for the use of his land. cheers the noo Brian

You can enter on the day and also join the club on the day.The more the merrier.The trials are well laid out for twinshocks and Pre 65's and the venue is well worth the trip. cheers the noo Broony

Barnettbob ,you could try ebay-type in race seat foam under motorcycle parts. It comes in different thicknesses and sizes and is self adhesive. cheers the noo Brian

Details of the trial is on the calendar section with directions. cheers the noo Brian

​Don't think I'll need the sunscreen Tam.As I have said previously the ground is very similar to Kinlochleven so would make an ideal shakedown for those lucky enough to get an entry for the Scottish Pre 65. Dig the twinshock or Pre 65 oot the shed and support Tam. cheers the noo Brian

Remember to change your clock as its the start of British Summer Time "1 hour less in bed" on the 31st.just a wee thought last year at this time at Tam's first trial we had a heatwave-fingers crossed but I'll no hold me breath, cheers the noo Brian
