Exactly I use 1st in tight stuff (9/42), but where a climb is coming up, I sometimes use 2nd for the whole section or snick up into 3rd for a steep climb (and then just hang on ) Between sections on open ground or moors, I quite often enjoy a blast in 5th The gearbox has gears, to be used

What things about the Beta, didn't suit you?

A proper difficult trial, for the pro's

Just get a Mont then.......................

That'll be the sticking point, along the way

Maybe it was too radical for most Trials riders & they voted with their feet, sticking to a more conventional type of bike like GG or BetaSo it didn't sell as well as hoped & ran out of steam

Dadof2 - I agree Are you having trouble posting (3 times)

I ride a 4RT - so not the best person to ask Yes, they are nice But they are not the easiest bike to ride in Trials A 2t will give you better results

Watching........

Exactly - except the National Park don't always see it tha way

A fair point Never been to a WTC, doesn't interest me Scott & SSDT interest me more

That does sound good

I see he's sadly passed away last month, Trials stalwart, rider and supporter, via his shop and engineering skill

Where's the Yorkshire venue tomorrow?

So - you have a water pump & no impeller How very weird?

Not sure that's quite right, but hey-hoVat is payable either there or here, but in reality it's just a 'netting off' exercise - as long as you have some other vat able sales to do that against Ok with a Van, but proving a Trials bike is work related is the difficult one - so you end up paying it, somewhere along the line

That's ok for a novice

???? That can't be right, can it?

Beta perhaps

New riding areas.........

As a private user - the Vat is payable in EEC country at that country's prevailing rate or back in the uk @ 20% irrespective of whether you are registering it or not Vat is Belgium is 21%, so no point paying their Vat and diddling yourself of 1% Otherwise it's tax evasion To reclaim the Vat, you'd have to justify a Trials bike was for business use (deliveries) & of course, the business be Vat registered Your accountant may have difficulty proving that it was a business asset

No import duty in EEC - free trade I was working on the price on the Zona example with tax paid there & the euro @ 1.35 Still a grand cheaper or more on a Repsol If you pay the vat in Belgium at their rate - then it would satisfy the NOVA rules in uk, as tax is paid in the EU I deal with a lot of farm machinery & people are now starting to import this now, direct due to the favourable exchange (killing our exports though)

Cheaper, by a grand, give or take

Mine is the same
