I know I'll get 101 different answers & opinions ......BUT Which is the best to ride for a Clubman? I've ridden and owned a 4rt for the last 10 years on & off I an missing out by not riding a modern 2T? i've had a go on a mates '16 Beta 2T & really liked it Very different to ride and l thought it was good So which newer bike is best in your opinion ?

Renthal Bou are only 4.5" height I think (I have some on my bike), which is too low for me I'm changing this week for the Renthal Fatbars 5.5" at 6'2 I need all the bar height I can get If I don't like them, I'll go for some 6" Apico I have 6" Renthal (22mm) on other bikes and like them

How dare you, no self respecting o50 rider can do without bling

Many thanks Stuart, seems like an easy way to get it done for £120

Portuguese Orange was an official 1976 colour and looks like your tank is that design

No 10/41 is stock gearing I did try 9/42 too and prefer 10/44

Very funny Just shows how far bikes & suspension have evolved over the last 40 years

I live in Yorkshire and changed my sprockets Having had 4RT's for 10 years, I find 10/44T to be perfect for me as a crap clubman 1st for the really tight nadgery stuff 2nd for the longer becks/streams and general stuff 3rd for the longer sections and hill climbs

I am still using some 740 that must be 10 years old I always pour it out into a clear jug and it looks fine, so use it in the 4RT gearbox No ill effects here, just check it before adding ( I do have some that is 5 months old and the oil that is 10 years old is identical to the ordinary eye)

Hi Andy, this was the reason for my PM's last week and only happens in this Road section, none of the others I'll clear my Inbox Thanks Andy

So, I have a classic bike, new to me I have HPI'd the chassis number and nothing comes back, so it's not registered I have a dating letter from the UK importer, stating date of manufacturer (but bike is not for road use??? on it) I need to get it MOT'd on the chassis number Which other DVLA forms do I need and what do I do to obtain a NOVA form form HMRC, to satisfy DVLA Can someone lead me through it, in simple steps..........A to Z?

DID Rim or Morads???

Yep, almost non existent - you never see any 4RT's at a club trial nowadays, do you

Mines a 250....but quoting the reg on loads of bikes - some obscure works for me all linked to. DVLA database

No, but a tip that works for me is to just give them the bike's reg number when they ask the make & model That way they just punch the reg number in and hey presto they come up with whatever DVLA say it is and they say fine, without a problem Nowadays I never say it's a Raga/Majesty/ossa MAR thingymajig because you are talking to a call centre operator who hasn't a clue Give them a reg number and they can't argue

Perhaps because some prefer a 4t, others because it's a Honda and there has always been a mystique with the Honda Trials story (over-egged maybe) Perhaps the fit and finish suits them, maybe some like the trinkets available I like mine, because it makes me smile sometimes

That's what I do, switch off and just push the bike forward in the queue

Which post 80 bikes are allowed?

Cheers Steve, I reckon so I was thinking there wouldn't be much difference and now you have me thinking

Probably innovative in mud

Steve Saunders Schreiber was probably the first innovative rider in the 1970's

Thanks, very interesting I have a 2007 Repsol (based on a 2005 bike) and I am very interested in your comments

If you didn't get in, don't be too fed up.......................this bloke is really fed up - his bike will be on ebay soon

Not a bad idea At some trials there are so many flags my head hurts

Kinda sums it up
