Interesting, my tickover is spot on, but I've geared mine down and it's easier to ride now

Ok..................must have missed that My mistake

Looking at your location it's not hard to guess which dealer offered you a paltry sum, for a year old 4rt Have you tried north of the Border ? May have more joy

£2600 for a 2013 250.................they're having a laugh, unfortunately at your expense

I went to see a bike like that, i must have kicked 40 times and it would catch but not run (I have owned 4RT's before, so knew the techniques) so I walked away .......................and bought another

Good post, I'd like to know a lot of those points too

Nice pics again

Try enough I did

I agree, I went a few BTC's in the last couple of years and couldn't believe how relaxed, friendly and down right convivial the paddock was All the older riders are now still there, in their capacity as importers/sponsors/parents or just helpers............because they love it Trials simply is brilliant, for its 'down to earth' approach to the sport

Just seen the the Colmore results last weekend and Tony Scarlett got a Top 20 place, so still riding VERY well Back to 1986

Last night I read a fab career history in a magazine, about Nigel Birkett which was a really good article So it set me thinking about all my heroes of yesteryear, when I was a kid and in those days it was Rathmell/Lampkin/Andrews/Birkett et al Also there's been some fab interviews on RetroTrials So who's your hero?

Another set of nice pics

Look at the front down tubes to tell the difference On the Mini - they are straight On the adult full size frame - they kick back towards the barrel, near the exhaust

Dunno Scorpa, that's how I bought it and it seemed pretty stock to me - forks and engine wise I think there were some mods available at the time, there are some T&MX ads and test from the era on the web somewhere, so may Google will through them up

HaMy old bike - that was 1982 registered & built Jan 1982 & apart from new rims was pretty original with a nickel plate Godden frame However it was a full size frame, not a mini frame

Excellent news

Many thanks They look just the job, exactly what I'm after

My 4RT came with some Trials cast snail cams and whilst I like the larger diameter, I'm looking for some thinner width ones, so not to compromise the threads on the wheel spindle Any recommendations?

Great read

Cheers Keep'em coming

We want pics

+1

In reality how big was that step, looks huge from your camera angle, Neil? Is that the same one as in Lairds 1982 Scott pics, taken from further up the beck (more water too)?

Great Pics Neil
