I just gotta ask !!!! what does a stone represent in a weight I might understand ??? Glenn You know old yankee and all that ...

Just reassembled my 240 pro yesterday with new double needle brgs. in the swingarm pivot, and can actualy see the stock marzocchi's flex upon compression !!!! It works 100% better with new brgs. but I need new shocks. Has anyone tried the new NJB trikshok W/ the spherical brgs in the eyelets instead of rubber bushings yet ! looks like the hot ticket to me !! Any info helpful Thanks Glenn

My 83 240 pro is almost new again !!! would that fall under other ???? Glenn

Bad picture but it loks like a belstaff , not sure if its a Trialsmaster though. They make a bunch of differant jackets , I just need to find a dist. on this side of the pond!!! Thanks, Glenn

That Zero looks to be in much better shape than the one that was given to me... But then again I'm a master tech who loves restoration projects !!! And I still have to pay for shipping. Oh well my Fantic 240 does run and look new now so I need a new project anyways and beta parts are alot more readily available than old fantic stuff !!! Glenn another 40something trialer

OK !!! I searched and found they still make the Trialsmaster jacket ! But list price on their website is $479.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the one I used to have from a ladie gym teacher when she went to europe when I was 12 0r 13 years old !!! and she got me a large and I had it long enough to grow into it ! My folks paid her $50.00 for it !! But now acording to the website they are becoming a fashion statement for the rich and famous hollywood crowd !!!! Well at least some of them have good taste ! I wonder if they know what the trialsmaster logo really represents ? But then again Steve McQueen was photographed quite frequently in his . Betcha he knew what it was for ... A christmas present for me from me ? Glenn

But do they still make them ?????????? Come on make my day Glenn And the Barbor international jacket looks real close !!! Thanks

The very best riding jacket I ever owned , whether trials riding or enduro's or comutting on a street bike !! Do they still make the heavy black waxed cotton trials master Jacket ? My first , last and only one was stolen out of a 66 mustang i used to have. And after 15 years or so of almost daily use it only had one repair on it and was still prety much waterproof ! I want a new one ! any info greatly apriciated... Glenn

Lane; I would have to agree , some of my best freinds from the years I lived in socal were LEGAL imagrants , That respected the laws and the freedom afforded them here ... The rest I had to tolarate when I lived near Indio for a while ( did my senior year in high school there ) Were Quite a culture shock for a kid from conneticut via Glendora !!!! Oh well ... REspect our laws and society or go home to the corrupt country you fled for a better life !!!! Glenn END OF MY RANT !#!#!$$!!

And just imagine what would of happened to illegal imagrants in any other country than the U.S.A if they tried to protest the law of the land or change the main spoken langage . I'm sure you socal guys have heard the horror stories of the mexican jails all your life ... Go to mexico and protest !!! I'll bet even the mexicans wouldn't do that ! Land of the free !!! Gotta love it !! Glenn

Sounds like the parts bike I received when I bought my 240 fantic . The whole bike , tires , seat ,tank and all had been sprayed forest camo !!! At least it was another complete bike in a box ... Glenn

Thank you !!!! Glenn

I just have to ask cause I can't remember !!! On Dellorto carbs does a smaller main jet # equal a larger jet or vica-versa ? Thanks Glenn I.E. a #66 would be richer than a #68 ?

Not riding a trials bike for almost 30 years before I happened across my 240 , And being a old school type of rider , I changed mine from 11/39 to 10/44 and for my slow style it works great. The fantics gearbox ratios are close enough that I wanted to set it up so 2nd and third would be my primary section gears in twinshock and modern events . But I have found it is a little low for the modern section's . But I still like it where it is !!!! Cheers Glenn And yes 12/39 was stock ! way to fast for my likes !!!!!!!!

Just read the info on the new trik shocks on the NJB website , the spherical bearings look to be a great idea !!! I just this weekend took my 240 pro to the bare frame to clean and repaint , replace all the brgs. and brakes etc. I am running two sealed needle brgs in each side of the swingarm w/a zerk fitting installed between them , so the action will be much better than the stock setup. I think with the new brg ended njb Trikshocks I'll be able to get some real good action out of the back of the old fantic !! Has anyone out there tried the new NJB's ???? Thanks Glenn

I was on a german website yesterday that after translation stated that by the end of summer 06 , we should see a 50cc , 80cc , and a 125cc 4stroke !!!! And that they are tieing up loose ends for a 300cc 4t from suzuki , to be in production by 08 ! So I quess I'll keep riding twinshock events on my trusty 240 and save my pennies for a 4t Fantic.!$$$. Glenn

I seem to remember growing up in New England , competing in my first trials event in 70 or 71 . That the neta at the time had a enduro/dirtbike class , then novice , amateur, then expert. And if I remember correctly if you won a certain # of events in your class you were moved up to the next class... no sandbagging Just foggy memories... Glenn And it was always technical in those days!!!!

glenn

you must never sell the fantic !!! you have to keep the marque alive !!! Glenn

Somthing I've got to ask , cause I don't know !!! Will the new domino throttle assembly swap with the original one on my 83 240 pro , without changing cable lengths ? I just installed a custom made braided stainless cable and have little if any slack to play with . but my throttl tube is about wore out !!! Glenn

I'd love to have one , but not at 2nd mortgage prices !!!! Glenn

Many years ago (late 70's ) I rode from windy point in palm springs ca. to the top of the arial tramway in Idlewild ,on a 175 stroker TL125 , under the operating tramcars only to get acosted at the top by the law !! but I did fill up with petrol at my freinds house and ride back to palm springs the same way... Fun ride though I shouldn't have done it by myself!!! Glenn

I'd actually love a new 240 or 300 Pro , I think they would sell all they could make if they bought out a retro bike w/some modern finese... A rebirth of the twinshocks would be great and inexpensive to do and would get alot more folks on trials bikes, wouldn't be as costly as the currant crop of bikes ... Glenn

CHEERS !! Glenn

Thats a fact ! the actual Fantic made Fantic engines are built so tight , I can't think of anything else that even comes close to their tolorances, The O.E spec for bore to piston clearanc is one-half of one-thousandth !!!! that's almost a press fit for a sleeve !!! The 240 is the only spec I've got , but I'm sure the 300's were just as tite... Hence the chromium plated liner Glenn
