Great stuff, thanks for posting

Good enough to virtually eat ~ delicious

Difficult question for a 4RT Never seen a standard one Everybody mods them You need an abundance of carbon, a HD bash plate & rear fender air box splash guard & a Mitani Ti exhaust for starters

5-10 marks lost to win, in an easier BTC round in other years @ a different location, was what I meant

It's beautiful rain, watching the world's best Trial

So, in that vain.................a BTC with a score of 5 for the winner is too easy? British rounds in the 1980's were oversubscribed, by good Centre riders and Britain's best Trials talent and the winner took it on 20-30-40 marks lost, but these were typically road trials, on single laps Maybe Butser was too hard, but look at the 1988 video and it was hard then - but after all there was a winner at Butser yesterday on a brand new marque - so not all bad Maybe the BTC should adopt a SSDT formula, with some long sections and a bit of roadwork, the SSDT doesn't seem to suffer from lack of interest

I think Dabill showed what the bike can do in all situations and he was well clear of anyone else on both days

Anybody got any any goods pics or vids, looks like it was a monster day with some massive scores posted, so any action would be gratefully received for those who didn't attend Well done Dibs on the new Vertigo and Dan Peace who manged a Top Ten place on both days

Dan Peace has had 2 good top ten rides both days, well done

Even better, ask to try one for a day and turn up in your own van in the morning, unload your clean bikes into the demo VW Caddy and go to the trial, see how it does in a muddy field After the trial, return to the dealers, with a muddy bike and dirty van and drive your clean van home

I use NFU Mutual too, not for bikes - but just like you I find them great

I've always wanted to do that - roll into a VW Van Centre with a couple of Trials bikes and see the Salesman's face

Catch the pigeon

I bought one and now find it hard to find the pedal, even with size 11 boots it's a job to get good purchase on it

Maybe not, but the 4RT is light years better, in terms of chassis/suspension and motor/brakes than the Godden Majesty or trick TLR I also had a few years ago I'd never go back to the Fantics/Seeley Hondas or Majesty Yams I rode in the 1980's, over a Beta Evo or 4RT from the 21st Century

No prejudices, my friend No need for the verbal assault, please I have had Twinshocks, plenty of them, - but they can't hold a light to any modern bike, face facts Maybe it's your prejudices, my friend and not mine - have many modern bikes have you ridden? Give a young 18 year old a choice, between a 250 Beta Evo and a Beamish/Bultaco 250 - side by side and I bet he'd pick the Evo

Rose-tinted specs maybe, because an old Twinshock is old hat and won't attract young'uns They want a good bike to hop and jump on, not a heavy,poorly suspended and underbraked old shonker As older riders drops out, because they get too old, where's the young'uns gonna come from?

Not a bad price, must look into it

Sounds great, how much is a day out there?

You could include it as part of a family holiday though

I'm usually the other way, crap in practice unless I plot a section with flags At a trial I'm better as I know what to & where to go
