[Show Some Support!]

"Appears to be a bit of anti European sentiment about today"

 

Anti EU not anti Europe I reckon.

 

We all do our best to support the Spanish economy on this site every year.

 

Yorkshire is almost part of Spain judging by all the motos español they buy up there!

 

[Grips]

What about the old type Doherty Grips, cheap and last for ages!

 

my Greeves still has the same pair I fitted 30 years ago   

[Bike On The Back Of My Car...]

all this stuff about nose weights and insurance companies.. has anyone on this site ever been sucessfully prosecuted or had their insurance revoked for using a rack with a bike on.. i think i can guess the answer..  

Never had a problem, and done quite a few miles with a rack on the back  

 

I now use a trailer, but only because I now tow two bikes!

[Brake Disc Bolts... Check 'em!]

It’s always worth going over the whole bike with a spanner as part of your regular maintenance. All the nuts and bolts have a tendency to work lose, especially on a two stroke!

[Side Stand For A Pro]

Or even a universal one?

[Side Stand For A Pro]

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket side stand for a GasGas txt pro?

 

I’m missing the bracket so I need the lot!

 

[Different Strokes........3 Noises Off....]

The best sound has to be a Matchless G80 Motocross bike with a straight through pipe!

[Honour Among Thieves (Trials Riders)]

 

However got to fuel stop one  -fuel there  - no drink - half empty bottle in the bottom of the pile - thinks its my brand and same colour tape so had the remnants and carried on

 

I’d have stayed thirsty than drink the remnants

 

Not sure how it could have been but let's hope it was a mistake!

 

 

Most people at motorcycle events are the most generous you are likely to meet, I underestimated the distance of a venue and as I drove onto the field ran out of diesel!

 

The guy I broke down next to promptly syphoned a gallon of diesel from his motorhome and refused to accept any payment for his diesel or help!

[The Ongoing Canada Trials Debate (Split From Originall)]

Once you've paid your council tax (over 2.5k for me) it reduces "available" funds !!

Don’t worry too much, its peanuts now with the new living wage  

[Acu Competition Licence]

You don't ge an ACU Licence for Trials you need aTrials Registration which costs £10 then instead of having a licence you pay a levy each time you ride 

According do my ACU Licence, it clearly states that its a Licence/Registration

 

Printed under my mug shot, not that it makes any difference what its called

[Acu Competition Licence]

Join a local club, they will give you a membership number to obtain a licence from the ACU

 

you can still do it the old way with a form (you will still need a membership number) : https://www.acu.org.uk/RidersMembers/License-Forms.aspx

 

 

[Re Lining Brake Hubs]

I too was shocked at the price of cast iron - I was quoted over £100 for a bit smaller than a brake drum a while ago.

 

Yes, it ridiculous. I was fortunate to find a load of cast billets at a local scrap yard

The only down side to this is I don’t know the grade, but I’ve made a few nice vee blocks with it    

[Re Lining Brake Hubs]

For a French chum, could anybody please tell me if there is any particular material you need to use when re linging  Bultaco brake hubs where the chrome has worn .

 

Thanks

Cast iron, I had some done years ago by InMotion for a pursang.

 

I have also done some myself, but Its hard to get the cast at a reasonable price

[Marcelle 250 Barrel.]

_{what's the difference between a premier amal & the standard?}

[Old Trials Rules]

'Centrifugal clutch which enables the machine to be operated with only one hand'

 

Is this in case of a minor accident….  

[Suitable Engine For Bsa C15 Frame]

It would be a lot cheaper to stick with the c15 motor, building bitsa's has a tendency to spiral in costs

 

I’ve never had any real problems with the standard c15 motor, found the to be fairly strong and reliable even with standard ignitions

[2 Stroke Oil Fuel Ratio For Classic Spanish Twin Shock]

I run all my air cooled bike on 40:1 without any problems, and smoke free

 

Silkolene Comp2

[Cracked Swing Arm At Linkage Pivot!]

You could do it with a small hone and drill, the type they use on car wheel cylinders  

 

Aluminium isn’t the best material to hone but it should do it

 

The only problem you may have is the crack on the inside may act as a stress riser, and it will probably crack the weld (just keep an eye on it)

[The Things We Miss]

Money!

[Bsa Wd Wide Ratio Gears How Essential Are They For Trials]

As stated above, it only causes a problem if you use it on the road  

[Fat Bar Rise?]

What’s the advantage of fat bars, I’ve never had a problem with standard Renthal bars?

[Bantam Trials Rim Size]

I use WM1 front and WM2 rear. As there are already clearance issues IMHO WM3 is too wide.

  the bantam is a tight fit

[Bantam Trials Rim Size]

21" Front (WM1) 18" Rear (WM2 or WM3, I prefer WM3)

 

If you are using bantam hubs 40 Hole rims

[Anti Lock Brakes]

My 18 year old YZ has one of them. Uses a 3d map to advance the ignition depending on load. Not entirely sure how your wrist would do that.

 

My old BSA has an advance / retard that's thumb operated

[Kenny The Rooster - Contains Adult Humour]

A 92 year old man is walking through a park and sees a talking frog. He picks up the frog and the frogs says, “If you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess and be yours for a week.”

 

The old man puts the frog in his pocket. The frog screams, “Hey if you kiss me, I will turn into a beautiful princess and make love to you for a whole month.”

 

The old man looks at the frog and says, “At my age I’d rather have a talking frog!”
