  1. That's what I do, switch off and just push the bike forward in the queue
  2. Cheers Steve, I reckon so I was thinking there wouldn't be much difference and now you have me thinking
  3. Steve Saunders Schreiber was probably the first innovative rider in the 1970's
  4. Thanks, very interesting I have a 2007 Repsol (based on a 2005 bike) and I am very interested in your comments
  5. 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
  6. Not a bad idea At some trials there are so many flags my head hurts
  7. More weight, for no gain though Electric start is unnecessary on a trials bike
  8. Apart from electric bikes, is there any more ways to develop the petrol bikes? We're at a minimum weight of some 65kg....................so apart from a bit of tweaking and titivation, is there any further strides in Trials bike development that can be achieved and is this it? Seems a bit stuck at present and bikes haven't moved forwards at all over the last 10 years Comparing old Britshocks to the Spanish armada in the 60's and then Spanish and Jap Twinshock advances in the 70's, then the arrival of the revolutionary TY250 mono in the 80's and watercooling and disc brakes of the 90's, follwed by the lightening and better frame/suspension geometry of the early 2000's, nowt much has altered since 2005 onwards, has it? Is that it??

    Perhaps Dougie will contend the BTC and make it 3 on the bounce for Vertigo
  10. Perhaps Dougie will throw his hat in, to make it 3 years on the bounce for Vertigo
  11. I had 9/42 on previously and prefer 10/44 as the chain run seems smoother too, less snatchy 10/41 on when new was too fast for me
  12. I use 10/44 and that makes 1st gear for tight sections usable and makes 2nd doable for open sections Bike is stock apart from that
  13. Very good Apt I'm sure Toni would look good in a deerstalker Jealousy is an ugly trait
  14. Nothing to alter on the 4rt Just add fuel, change the oil and filters regularly and ride it Still on the original standard TBody and bike is 10 years old, next year After all - it's a Honda
  15. If you use those front wheel chocks/stands previously mentioned then you only need to barely strap the forks at all, just a token effort The Stands are similar to the price of a set of fork seals Plus you can use them in the garage,box trailer or van Just saying
  16. I use varifocals & have never thought about it either on my road bike at 100 mph or my trials bike in a section May explain why my trials riding is getting worse
  17. Indeed in the 1970's & 80's we swore by the MT43 on front or back and in the south west in the muddier trials I used an Avon Mudplugger on the rear. Not bad on Dartmoor rocks either
  18. Eh? I think Honda translate that Into to plenty of sales to regular riders, especially at clubman level and beyond You see plenty of 4RT's at club trials and I would say Beta is no.1 though
  19. Less fuel More refuels Style over function
  20. 1250 views and not a single reply Oh well, difficult subject I guess...............if we don't police ourselves, then maybe the Police will do it for us Same goes for the 2017 SSDT...............best keep our own house in order...methinks
