registering bike is on the agenda, sorry thought you were keeping sites to your selves, have sorted numbers for north berks and aldermaston and will call tom, don't have a problem with paying for sites and i understand you don't want sites shut down either as i need as much practice as i can,

well thanks for your input, if i had an enduro it'd be road registered and have no problem ridin between one wood and the next and making a quick escape without having to put it in the van or on a trailer, and if i had a crosser there are plenty of tracks advertised in the back of t+mx news, so if you want to be all secretive be like that, but do remember the more people you have in the sport thwe more chance you've got of it surviving!!!!!

do you know where seymours arena is, and whats the cost for use and when can you use it

i rode in the thames trial a few months back, and did awful, but was my first trial, really must road register the bike would make my life much easier,

well if you know crowthorne its right next to the camberley road, where i go no 1 walks cos its next to the by pass to camberley and about 100m from broadmoor, to top it off got a producer as well, all sign said was dont exceed 20mph and have sufficient silencer. i'm new to the sport and just want to practice, only done 1 trial, what club do you belong to?

does anyone know of areas where you can practice around bracknell/camberley/ maidenhead, went out this eve and parked van in slightly different access point to where i normally go and read signs and doesn't say no motorcycling but police turned up and said can't go in there so he looked at the sign and said that was covered under road traffic act1988, apparently they're havin a purge on it because SURPRISE SURPRISE MOTOR CROSSERS HAVE BEEN FLYING PAST WALKERS, not that i go any where near them

sorry didn't see there was 2 pages,

just the plates sticking together when left for a while, before starting put into gear and move back and forth with the clutch disengaged and this will give the plates a chance to seperate then start, this happens alot with classic road racers when left for a week or more at a time,

if its a uk bike go onto lampkins website its got frame numbers for the years on there, that is the easiest way to tell.

for painted surfaces and coloured plastic use stuff called G3 its made by 3M and is used by body shop but use it wet and keep wet when polishing with it

i've just started trialing as well, but very used to the 2 strokes, glad to be back on them to be honest. you should be able to remove the plates pretty easily if your mechanically minded, try a website called www.r2wtrials.com loads of info for novice as regards the bikes and maintenance. allow clutch plates to drip clean then spray with contact cleaner and scrape off the accumulated muck between the sections of fibre, be careful not to damage fibre(it will take a couple of hours be patient) then reassemble in the order they came out. you can rub the plates lightly on some fine emery paper put on a flat face, but look on r2w site in tech it'll tell you all about it,

bolt are measured in length from the underside of the head not including the head, the rest has all been covered above

well cleaned the wheel and the sealing band then put the band on and ran the silicone around the edge of the band and smoothed out into a nice rad, left it for 24hrs and put tyre on today went out for a play and still holding pressure, but i can see the pro'and cons of both ways, i guess theres no right ansd wrong way just wat ever floats your boat. cheers anyway for the advice from you all!

cheers for that link think i might go for a compromise now, new sealing rim tape and silicone that to the rim, i'll see how that goes, sounds more permanent than the grease theory, but not as bad for trueing wheels as siliconing every spoke nipple,

cheers mate, already cleaned the wheel up and rim tapes off, i'll give that a go tomorow,
