    You being pedantic, it's a term. 

    Also To comply with those regs it needs to be a minimum size to fit everything on with the correct spacing, most trials bikes I have seen don't comply, so yes they are to small 

    If the police write you up for a small number plate it will be chucked out. No such thing. Simple.  They need to give you a ticket for wrong size lettering and spacing. Yes, every trials bike i've seen is worth a warning or ticket........

     

  5. Novice-friendly 250

    Any of the 250's, Just fit a slow action throttle, Low compression head and flywheel weight.  All will be much nicer to ride even more so with winter around the corner and mud!

    Or just get a modern'ish 125. Plenty of power for a novice rider.

  7. Which Club Should I Join?

    in UK Trials Talk

    Posted

    Any ACU club, Makes no odds. It's just so you can get a number for your ACU licence application. You don't need a AMCA licence or be a club member to ride AMCA trials but it does at some events reduce the entry price by a couple of quid..

    If your Bristol then Mendip Vale or Kingswood are good ACU clubs.

    http://www.kingswoodmcc.co.uk/

    The West contry trial forum on F/BOOK covers all the events that are on ACU/AMCA and most trials topic in the area.

     

     

     

     

  12. Slow throttle vs fast

    Quick question about the standard throttle on a 2016 4RT - is it a Domino slow (black-bodied) one? I can't compare at the moment as I only have the one on the bike which came with it but I do seem to recall the Domino black one had a similar radius to the white one except for the beginning of the travel where it had a noticeably smaller radius followed by a cam type of increase after the first few millimetres. By contrast, the one currently fitted to my bike has a constant radius throughout all of its travel with the radius quite a bit less than a white one.

    Thats already been answered above............. 3rd post.
