The DVLA are now on the case regarding Trials/Enduro bikes 1st registrations. Had to explain after they said my insurance was not valid(Bennetts) as the Policy Exclusions stated - Use for Hiring, racing,pacemaking,speed testing, rallies, trials, competitions etc, I had to explain the trials element means 'Speed Trials' blah blah blah, then the insurance asked about the ignition key!!!!!!!!!!! what.............On a trials bike? In the end after signing a disclaimer from the DVLA stating 'It will only be used 'Off Road' OR on closed roads as part of a competition or trial evant' also ' The vehicle does not comlpy with the construction and use regs and therefore cannot be used as an everyday vehicle for the highway' The reg should be completed and with me this week. It looks like our days may be numbered! Has anyone else had any issues of the same nature?

You wont go wrong with a 250 GasGas, an excellant Expert to clubmans bike.Loads out there so don't buy the first you see.

With the holiday season in full swing, regs are now avialable for the above event at Coney Green nr Stouport,you can download them from the Midland Centre Web Site.

Great advice from the lads, the TY80 is a great starter bike but to get the hang of things from zero maybe a GG50 Boy as they are twist and go. Bought my 8 year old daughter one 2 months ago, once set up right its ideal............looks upto date. Bewdley are running an evening series for beginners starting on 9th June at Shatterford near Kidderminster, come along and have a look.

Hi Guys and Gals, A toolbag/camel bag was found while clearing up after the Victory Trial, if its yours please make contact. Jim T 07917475837

On the GG std carbs its a fuel screw and they recommend 3 1/4 - 3 1/2 turns out with a tick over and it should run sweet.

Cheers Neale for the info, doing great thanks............... Mr Pitts ? y/n

Does anyone know where we can purchase a set of riding bibs from here in the UK? Many Thanks

Has anyone got an idea of how much oil to put into the gearbox, the manual gives 2 different quanities - 450ml and 500ml, now this seams rather high as only 150ml came out!! also once in 1st gear it's now dragging.....making me believe there is too much in. Any top tips would be appreciated, by the way its an 06 thats been used 3 or 4 times from new. Cheers

The manual quotes 2%(50:1), I would be tempted to follow this using unleaded. We do and have had no problems, if the bike has done road work then its been too lean at high temps. Page from the manual:- Recommendations for the reliable operartion of your GAS GAS.

The GG is a Cracking bike for a 125, from 07 the build quality has overtaken ALL its competitors. The 2010/2011 are the best. If you can, buy new as many have been well used, there are good second hand one's out there, but you'll have to be patient and pounce once you've spotted the bike you want.

I had a 525 KTM for geenlaning and is was a great bike, BUT if you lost your way on a hill climb it was very difficult to get back on line, as Scorpa 3 has said you need to set your bike up like a trials bike or closest to. You can't beat a trials bike, they will do/go anywhere. If I were to get another bike for greenlaning it would not be an enduro bike.

Maybe not but its still a Beta ......................

Looks a bit on the tatty side for

We have never had any problems either, you can e-mail Kev Hipwell(this is year 2011) and be assured he will reply. As for B--a's you need to be on their direct hot line...........

My mate Ed had the same problem with his 290, he said;- when it cools/cold runs ok but as it warms up the bike quickly splutters and ran backwards....its the stator breaking down when it warms up....just need to replace and will be fine..... Eddie Hope this helps

Yes, it was great to see the entries up, lets hope it keeps going!? I rode the 50/50 route, my first time, the one group was very tight, if you couldn't hop you had to leg it! All in all a huge success, Well done Evesham Jim

For those who posted their entry after the 15th December, Please contact the secretary to confirm it has been received. With all the white stuff and Pat having difficulties getting around it may be worth while!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Jim 07917475837 bewdleymcc@aol.com

Could you scap the time altogether?

FANTASTIC......................at last a proper mount!!!

TR22B - Non Stop

Anyone wanting regs for the 2011 Vic Brit(2nd Jan) can do so at the GG Test Day, if you also want to enter, you can with all the relavent documents, ring Jim 07917475837 Cheers

The Midland Centre ACU held a meeting on the 1st November to create and agree on the trials dates for 2011,with Bewdley

Thanks for all your replies, in a nutshell if it wasn't for the Guys giving up thier weekends/evenings to organise these events then all you riders would have NO TRIALS to go to !! Support them lads/lasses, if we are not carefull their will be nothing?!

The next trial at Mamble will be a club event,put the 28th November in your diary and it will close on the day. We may not run Centre events in 2011 as I feel a club trial is all the riders want!
