Confidence is a big thing to overcome I have suffered a knock this summer and I'm finding it hard to ride bigger stuff, at present

Buy a programme, from Richmond Club (details on their website) in advance and they'll post it All the spectator info and maps are in there

All RWD Vans are crap in winter Trials fields (my Hiace is) I park on the Road/Verge/Layby/Moorside outside the venues, if at all possible Carry a tow rope and shackle

2015, I'm still on a 2007 Fine as they are for clubman If you're in the Experts you will never outride the chassis or engine

My oil & filter gets done every 4 trials & so does the transmission with Elf Air filter every trial in summer & every other in winter

I have a road bike cover, but is massive on a skinny trials bike

I am thinking of transporting my bike on a rack or open trailer Sammy Miller used to those trials bike covers in the 1970's Can you still get anything similar, to keep the road salt off

Because Honda can & it's to do with Honda pride in JapanThey believe (rightly or wrongly) that 2t has no place in a modern world - hence the move to 4t in all sectors - including marine & garden I have all their 4t garden stuff - strimmer and hedge cutter and it's light years in front of Stihl to use & who are the dominant 2t force in that sector and continue to pursue 2t Honda don't like diesels but market force drove them to produce one - so what did they do ? They made one of the quietest and efficient Diesel engines in the sector from scratch I only buy Honda products from garden to car to bikes as they are the world leaders in engine design and unlike many other automotive companies they design & build their own engines Apart from Honda - I also buy Toyota who do the same as Honda - but Honda don't make a van or a 4x4 pickup for me to buy

The Honda manual for the 4RT is brilliant - so you are incorrect on that score The Honda EFI for the 4RT is fit for purpose 11 years on & still doesn't need a battery In my book Honda got it right first time I don't care about 2 strokes as they don't interest me Honda brought it in for the 4RT in 2005 - but that wasn't the fully story They needed to meet global emissions targets on the thousands of small bikes it sells in remote areas Hence they need to move away from 4t carbs and pioneer a battery free EFI system for use in areas where they have no electric on sub 125cc bikes

If it's too high, then you can slow the gearing down to compensate, like I did Experts can cope with 1600-1800 rpm & 10/41 gearing

Exactly - Honda have the time & money to get it right ..., first time

2017 bikes must have twinshocks

What about pre95 watercooled Mono's We need a class for them now

I'd like some pics too

Bent shaft?

My Mitani arrived today, can't wait to get it fitted Superb service from Banyeres

I guess the Evo 250 is mellower and better suited to a clubman rider

Dadof2 makes some valid points

Haha

Beta is more popular, hence the lack of numbers What's wrong with his 4rt?

Thanks for that

No particular extra wear to boots
