ABC orginally contacted the Pa. Posse about performing on this show as well, problem was none of them could even spell "ABC" let alone appear on one of their Prime time tevelvision show.. We are sure that Chris and Keith will put on a good show for them in our absense ..........D

From my experiences, The high heat makes the metal disk grow, the rapid cooling keep that new growth in place. I do this to all my new bike. Don't forget to replace the pads , some times they look fine, but a fresh set with the correct dimensions makes alot of difference in performance. If you have been running the same pads all season , you probably would be amazed by the results of a fresh set of brake pads......I see this more times than i care to mention...My 2 cents ......D

Air tool is the best way and most of the time the only way you are going to get this particular nut loose........D

Hi Ron.......Directions can be found here........ www.d4trials.50megs.com

Nice bike to own and ride.........It is by far the fastest in flat out speed of any trails bike i have ever ridden........A bit scary in fact.....D

Thanks Trialsurfer !!Sounds like a good time was had by all, despite the weather.........D

Any results of the Fun in the Sun two day event ?

Glamis is Dunes........Lots of them

I will be spending some time in the UK and Italy over the next few months. I was wondering how a US national support line rider would fair in a UK National or Italian National. Anybody ridden both and could tell me if I should be a spectator or a participate ???

I see !! Well I can understand their position a little better now. It was a good article but as a wise old lady once told me. " Live and learn" D...

Craig, I do not see where you even mention L. Sanz or the observers in your article...I'm I missing something here or are you leaving something out ? Confused........D

I loved the 315R, I have owned and rode all years of the 315R from 1997 thru 2004... The bike has won Multiple World Indoor titles and multiple World outdoors titles plus a host of other major trials such as the SSDT etc. I now own a 4RT and am 100% convinced that the 4 stroke is the way to go. ...My 2 cents.......D

Motorama 2005, Feb. 19 & 20 , Harrisburg Farm Complex, Penna...... Who's going ?? Pretty good event for those of you "Jones n it" to ride that new bike......... See ya there...........D

No one else mentioned this but I find it extermely bizzare that RYP (SHERCO) is making an GASGAS rider announcement on their website before the GG importer or anyone else for that matter did.......What up with that ?? D

Thanks Al and Steve......I'm touched by your kind words ........Darn its COLD here........10 degrees F and that is the high for the day.....I hate winter....D I guess i'll just have to go for a ride on my 4 stroke YAMAHA RX1 snowmobile.....It seems to be the way of the future , like it or not.......

The man is speaking the truth.......I was there at the time, along with 200 or 300 of my closest friends..........D

Must be are old m8 Ringo !!!

Ishy -- Great write up..........No clutch..........brilliant...............Suppose you'll be getting one ? or holding back til the Sherco thumper hits the states ? ...........Dom

Hi Brian, How are you and yours ??? The bike, at idle is very quiet, in fact it was the quietest bike at the FIM sound test... The bike with all restrictors in place is much quieter than a fully de-restricted bike... I feel that the bike may seem louder to some people but the sound is a different sound than what we are used to hearing from a trials bike...If all factory restrictors are left in place the sound is a very nice performance 4 stroke sound.... You may have seen a fully de-restricted bike this past weekend. Now you need to hear a fully restricted one. The power on a fully restrcited bike is super smooth with unbeleiveable traction and a very pleasent exhaust note. The power on a fully de-restricted bike is an massive amount of torque and the subsequesnt noise that follows which I feel 95% of the riders do not need....Fully restricted will be the way I compete on this machine and the way all my bikes will be set-up for customer delivery........This is a new bike that just arrived and I am sure as time passes will need to understand these types of things and address them. Hope I answered your question and see you at the first national..........Dom

Update: We rode the New Cota 4rt for a few hours today and got a real good feel for it.. After a brillant debate at Sheffield during the recent World indoor event. I am sure it will see the top podium position before its all said and done. The traction is fantastic, The power delivery smooth in every gear, the feel is small and light. We figured out what the "RT" stands for " Ridiculous Torque" ......Great Bike.....D www.keystonecycle.com

You have a PM....D

Bloody Hell !!!

Its finally here in the states.................And in a word "AWESOME".....We took our first batch, set them up and rode the first trials sections in America on the new Montesa 4RT.........VIVA MONTESA ............. More to follow.......Must ride now........... www.keystonecycle.com
