Blimey that takes me back 30 yrs, i had a silica based one on the bench and used to clean a selection of plugs before each Trial - 2 for each pocket if memory serves me right, so there was equal weight distribution in my TT Leathers jacket

Was it caused by loose bolts? Check price of hub from Sandifords/Pidcocks, before looking at Engineering options I had a little job done last week and it would have been nearly as cheap to buy the new part from a dealer

When I first started driving in 1982, I had a Mini Van I used to open the rear doors, put a piece of 4x2 over the top of the open rear doors, put my Majesty200 in backwards and hang the handlebars over the top of the piece of 4x2 and strap the whole lot down Worked a treat, in the days before speed bumps had been invented and over-zealous coppers - had to reverse into some parking fields at trials though The folly of youth @ 17

Hi chaps Thinking about getting one perhaps, a late 80's version with lights, indicators and speedo for maybe LDT duties or maybe trailriding or to get into observing duties/course help at bigger trials..................so not really to Trial competitively Looks like Parts made be a nightmare to obtain, particularly engine and chassis parts - yes or no? Seen a few tidy ones, so although they are in good order now, then they shouldn't need much maintenance.................right?? Any tips

Sounds a load of grief..........................just ride mine standard

Agree with Dabster & Ishy - I think the need is greater than the desire financially & as they say there are more

Stunning photographs

Sounds good, how much is the cost and where did you stay?

All the spare parts come in Honda bags when you order them, if that helps ? I understood that the engine is built in Japan, more than likely at the HRC division, then shipped to Montesa-Honda factory in Barcelona for assembly there Frames come from Verlicchi (sp) in Italy to Barcelona for assembly Most components come from the Japanese Honda factories (wheels etc) Some other components are European, Bars/grips/levers/throttle/ tyres

Doubt it, when they 'spin' out.......................there's not much getting it back

Wasn't that Brown?

+1 500 miles on the road, 176 sections and 6 days of competition, in Scottish weather would finish them off

Me too :-0 Many thanks Bigfoot for the vids, really enjoyed them

Sorry to hear of Vic's passing recently, great loss to Trials and West of England MCC - a true trials stalwart http://www.westofenglandmc.co.uk/ I first met him over 30 years ago, as a schoolboy trials rider and rode many Trials in WEMC and also watched the many rounds of British Trials champs that he organised from Liverton and also as a 12 year old, I watched the World Round he brought to Devon in 1977 or 78 I remember him on his fruit and veg stall in the Pannier Market at Newton Abbot on a Saturday, when I was a kid He was WEMC and will be sadly missed Proper gentleman

Any more ?? Love them & many thanks for taking the trouble to bring them to us ( stuck working:-0) @ home

Just bought another one after a 8 year break Loving it & forgot how good they were for the trails A mint XR400 sold on eBay at the weekend (300kms) sold for
