great pics,nice to see a couple of my old sprite !! looks a bit different from when I built it !!

**** me andy,you should be on the telly with material like that !!

sounds like the ignition is too retarded

THE POINT REMAINS VALID,WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN TODAYS MIDDLE AGED RIDERS GET TOO OLD TO RIDE. WE NEED YOUNG RIDERS NOW,THEY ARE TOMOROWS MIDDLE AGED RIDERS !!

look at the top of the page,click garage.click on browse bikes,search by owner name,type in twinshockdude

he is not bothered really,he just wants to ride.as he gets older i believe he will feel restricted by no stop. what ever he wants is fine with me,as long as he is smiling, i`m happy

don`t be too quick to give up on the shiny gold finish,take a look at mine in the TC garage.

my perspective on this is maybe a little different,i am an old git who rode through the seventies,obviously to no stop rules.I have a son who is eleven and is doing very well in national championships.when the rules were changed back to no stop i thought it was a great idea,a few months in i have to say i now believe i was wrong,the bikes have moved on,the sport has moved on.i watch my son learning to ride no stop and it is not as spectacular,it is not testing him as much as it was before.i am all for classic trials being run to classic rules,but the future is the young riders,we must give them the satisfaction of being in total control of their bikes.changes to the rules are not going to bring in more riders,we have to find other ways to promote our sport.wake up and smell the coffee - THE SEVENTIES HAVE GONE trying to bring them back is not going to work. It gives me no satisfaction to state this point of view because personally i love no stop,but i am not the future,i am the past.

on the other hand £650 usually buys a pile of crap !! best to save up and buy newer,if you can.

use a good semi synthetic oil at 50 -1

thieving *******s !!!!

air screw 1.5 - 2 turns out,main jet 100,needle 3rd groove from bottom,float height 16mm

the c+d have a round in scotland !!!!!!!!!!!! thats really gonna help,remind me how many scottish riders in last years c+d ? come on acu,take your head out of your ars... and smell the coffee for us to do that one round will cost best part of £350 it is too much !!!

I believe we should have one set of rules across the planet,the rules should be set for at least ten years with no change.this gives all riders the certain knowledge that they are learning the right technique. as it is at the moment no one knows how long this rule change will last. personally i have no strong view one way or the other,even though i am an old git with a twinshock !!! my son who is 10 is happy either way,he just wants to ride.

interested to hear what you think of this,is this the best way to get up this size of step ? is this good for bigger steps ? he is 10 years old and doesn`t have much weight to transfer !

got it,thanks andy

I was hoping for a definitive answer from someone at the acu,i think it`s quite a simple request !

has the acu made a decision on stop / no stop for next years youth championships ?

take a look here - www.acu.org.uk

why bother - no stop is coming to a trial near you soon !!!!!

the float bowl has probably been distorted by over tightening,get some fine abrasive paper on a FLAT surface and lap the gasket face of the float bowl,use a circular motion untill the whole face has cleaned up.

not sure,look on there web site for a phone number and give gail a ring

you need an acu license,shilton trial in next couple of weeks you can get it sorted then, if you joun shilton you can ride there 24/7 look in east mids centre handbook for local trials,you will get one with your license i

my boy started at 8 on a ty80,after a year he had a beta 80 medium wheel

no stop here we come ? looking forward to all the arguments !!!
