Might wander across, I was going to Thirsk, but found out earlier it was cancelled :-(

Is everything cancelled, tomorrow?

I rode it too and did the Easy 'Yellow' Route Haven't ridden the bike (4RT) since July (too busy riding the roadbike and foreign touring) and I found the route challenging with some very tight bits I used to ride a lot as a youngster and in my 20's, but only returned to trials in the last couple of years and haven't ridden much (family and other bikes ) I really enjoyed the Trial though and had a mixed result, I would expect - 1st lap was poor (getting used to the bike again), 2nd and 3rd laps were really good and 4th lap, I dropped off in the last couple of sections due to fatigue It was a big entry and great to see Although challenging...............if you don't do harder stuff, you never get better and I saw nothing silly or dangerous

Seems a lot of work, just to save 2kg's

Any tips on which map, for someone returning to the sport? Something to get me started I've got a 2007 Repsol, with the leads and stuff,plus a PTB about to be fitted

Stick to private land with the landowners permission and you'll be fine then

Google TRF and seek out the Derbyshire lot.................they have all the route info for legal trails and byways - bike & you must be legal, if you're riding on a proper highway though

Don't think so, but I could be wrong

Just your opinion then and not everyones....................some like them and others don't, same with all bikes

Very sorry to hear that...................John and Sonia are lovely people Get well soon, Sonia

Depends on your point of view.......................a van is always a van Never going to be be a high performance sports car with similar road holding, is it There may be better vans to drive...................but personally I can't see the point of 175bhp in a van, with the aerodynamics of a shopping trolley I couldn't be doing with a rusty Vito/Sprinter or a T5 with DMF/clutch or electrical gremlins If Toyota is reliable enough for the Taliban.....................then it'll do for me

Me too.............................Toyota are best vans built

It's gone a bit off topic........................all this talk of GG 300's

I have a 4RT....................there are better (competitive) bikes for sure, but for a clubman mount they are ok I love the engineering quality and technology from Honda HRC

Well..................judging by the slowness of s/hand bike sales at present......................this recession is getting tougher Tried selling a bike lately

Majority of people ride 2 strokes...................lighter,cheaper, easier to fix and the mainstream I ride a 4RT and like it...................it suits me but may not suit you

Thanks

Drawn a blank, though Not many Camper Conversions of Hiaces......................so not much info VW T4 and T5 have stuff in abundance

Can anyone recommend a (wind-out) Side Awning for my Hiace? Do Fiamma make a suitable one? I've seen the Thule ones, that attach to roofbars - but they are :shock: :shock: expensive My problem is the Hiace has a low roof and the side door comes out of the roof profile Anyone seen a wind out awning system fitted to a Hiace? Help

Yep.......................still got the XChallenge Here's the Repsol A 315 or 4RT will suit you as a playbike

Hi Stuart, it is me You won't go far wrong with a Montesa as a playbike.................it'll will be fine to start on and mess about with.............whilst you get to know things Monts are about up to 10kgs heavier than a GasGas or Sherco, but unless you're competing week in/week out.................I wouldn't worry worry The Mont will be well built and have longevity............it's a Honda 2 stroke/4 stroke? Personal choice......................I love my Repsol 4RT, sure there are far better/lighter bikes for a clubman 'joe' like me, but it makes me smile when I ride it Betas are good bikes, but have some glitchy quirks If Trials bikes are cheaper & more plentiful in numbers in UK, buy one here and take it to Spain.......................doesn't have to be registered for your own land

So do I..................same colour and i'm the same, crap on a 4RT

Ehhhhhhhhhh??? The mudguards?

If you want reliability ......................buy the Hiace...................all are built to a very high standard in Japan Runs like a 4RT Drives like a car Between now and your test drive, keep your eyes open and lookout for all the Hiaces, knocking about Look at the 96/97/98 Powervans driving about...................can you see rust, nope - not like Vito or Sprinters/Transits.................paint will still be fresh and mechanically they will be A1 They run twin batteries, so start like a Swiss watch

I have a couple of friends that are Airline Pilots (long and shorthaul) and if the planes aren't flying by this Weds.................then aircrews/pilots and groundcrew will start to be laid off...............it is serious Whether it's a short term layoff or permanent...............they don't know Govt. bail out...................we're broke
