There is no easy solution to Trials observing It's supposed to be objective but ends up being subjective The severity of the sections in modern Trials (because the modern bikes are so bloody competent) trying to be ridden no stop makes them difficult to be ridden no stop I watched Bigfoot's excellent Highland Classic video last night & in comparison watching the sections & the riders you could see how no stop sections should be ridden on a Twinshock bike However reluctant I am to admit, I think it is hard to ride modern bikes no stop, especially on championship type sections

Of the 4 sections I watched, I thought the Observers were brilliant Fair, professional & very well trained Richmond Club did a great job & I saw no dissent from riders to Observers, only at themselves if they made a silly soft mistake

Looking forward to seeing it in 1 month Interested in the 'competitve' pricing too Let's see them bring it in at sub

Must be the new engine Exciting news

Oh didn't know that would happen The pics are great & the bike was re-commissioned @ sammy millers Pics make the tale, perhaps Andy could explain why the pics are unavailable ?

A friend of mine has just ridden his 250 Matador across Spain, this week from Santander to Mijas, near Malaga The old Bult 250, didn't miss a beat, all day every day Here's his journey http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=333953

I think you're correct The frame in the van would probably be down the local scrapyard for its metal value of about

Certainly bang on there

Lol That's the spirit I much prefer flowing natural sections, than all this stop start tight turns on a postage stamp business

It's great for all us older riders - it's all we know All this stopping, hopping & bopping makes us oldies dizzy Seriously it depends on the terrain - if you access to plenty of natural sections like SSDT & Scott then no stop is great

Thanks

Works in a similar way to Tapatalk, Andy

I remember those days, as a kid and agree nowadays people fly round at breakneck speed to get back home and people are loaded up and on their way out, when I've still got a half a lap of the last one, still to do

Done it again & it worked Sorted now b40 Bloody phones

Tried that but zilch

I use ipb buddy on an iphone 4 and whilst replying to a topic this morning, I foolishly clicked on full view when I replied Now the forum appears in full view all the time and I can't reset it back to the normal phone view, Tried all the settings on ipb buddy, but can't do it Help - how do I get back to the original small view, for a techno dummy

Any opinions?

A question for the lads who ride them in the Scottish, what are they like on the road? What sort of speed will they maintain on say 10/41 gearing? Anybody tried a 36t on the rear, to speed them up a bit Thinking they would make a better bike than a Beta Alp/Scorpa T ride/Radonnee perhaps with a long ride seat/tank perhaps

Bloody National Park and Natural England, two quangos that add not a lot Farming and lead mining have made the Dales what they are, they are man made and they should leave it to the farmers to look after the Dales as they have done for 300 years, they've done a grand job It's the farmers' land, so if they want to allow trials on their land, they should be allowed to

Great pics

Trials in Yorkshire, don't seem to be suffering (apart from the bloody weather lately) The last Richmond one I did at Parkgate, had a 10.30 start and vans were still arriving, up to about 11am, with the car park field already full and the queue at sign on was still 20 deep at 10.30am I think the trial got going at about 11am and I think the entry was about 100+ as a quick ready reckon There were no queues at sections even on the first lap, because the trial was well spread out, with a group of sections, then a decent trek to the next one through fields/moor or woods Maybe it was because there hadn't been a trial for ages or their trials venues are held in great countryside?

Getting rid of the airbox looks good, fine if you only ride in dry trials How about waterproofing? Won't take a lot to swamp that unifilter, will it ?

Just asking if tomorrow's trial is still on, as lots in Yorkshire have been cancelled (bloody weather again) this weekend??

Bloody gorgeous

Will it be STOP Allowed
