4 stroke all the way! Stick to the day job cause the stand up routine is a flop!

Both excellent bikes. Both are well capable for clubman or expert as.standard! Just depends on which suits you best, two strike or four?!

Could anybody tell me if they are worth the money? How easy they are to apply and the finished result?

Any pictures of this bike would love to see it as i used to ride one!

Godzilla and dan, the voice of reason! Glad somebody else agrees with me on this!

Why not call the club and politely ask the question instead of publicly slating them! Have you ever ran a motor club? Do you know of the hard work put into running a club and from time to time how results can be late due to technical issues or a busy time after the trial? If you have ran a club im sure you will all ready know this, but either way i think we should all be greatfull to all involved instead of getting cheesed off after 6 days.

What are the palms of them? Are they quite thin still or padded?

Neoprene gloves, fancy a pair of wulf sport ones, anyone got some, or similar? Views on them would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where can you buy a shoei TR 3 from?

Moral of the story . . . . . You pay for what you get, stick to the tried and tested good old x11

Yep, just have patience, be gentle and bingo.

Just out of interest, what chain lube are people using these days?

Hi Nath. Firstly, training. You need to be out on the bike from now up until the scott every weekend. If you can, go to the gym, then do. You need to do plenty of cardio work. When doing weights don't d too many heavy weights, stick to manageable weights and do lots of repetition. The bike needs a full strip down around 3 weeks before hand, wheels out, brake pads replaced if need be, swinging arm out, check and service all of the back end, carb and i always make sure i have decent heavy duty chain and sprockets, I use iris and have never let me down, last thing you want is the chain snapping. Make sure you have a good mud flap on.oh and a new back tyre not an x lite, too weak and won't take the pace. I use a camelbak like most people,don't carry too much in the form of drinks, as said before tape one to your fuel can and only about a litre in your bag. Tools, you need all your tyre repair stuff, Allan keys, philips, stubby bicycle pump, shortened back wheel spanner/ajustable, spare levers, spark plug, cable ties and a bit of rag! Lol. Oh and wear your bag all tooled up a few trials before to get used to it. Riding gear, just judge it on the day, I would suggest goggles or some safety glasses. Most of all, on the day, pace yourself, it's a very long 85miles, good luck, hope this helps, see you at the start line!

Hi guys, I have some oiled gaerne boots that are about six years old now. Every other trial I use some leather feed that is initially used for leather horse gear, saddles etc . . . . Let that sink in then nik-wak on top. Six years on and still going strong!

Hi all. Any suggestions of who to go to for insurance using the VIN number as bike is not yet registered?

So ok, i understand what and why i need one but what is the actual document? Is it a receipt from when it was bought or what?

I took the wheel into the house for a couple of days so that the wheel got warm through rather than using the hairdryer.Much easier!

My point exactly! asz

Just been round my brothers tonight to give him a hand dragging out the old 2005 Montesa 4rt, Its not been started in 4 YEARS! Stroked the kick-start twice slowly (as you do) to power up the electrics and the kicked it over. Fired up and ticked over like it had been running only yesterday! Flawless!

I agree with whats been said about the clutch being snappy and being heavy compared to others. But yes it does certainly bring me a lot of enjoyment and so far would not swap for a new two stroke. The only two stroke i do fancy riding is the good old TYZ in the back of the garage! Happy Days!

HA Ha, iv seen plenty of southern mud jordi, i think its all about knowing the bike, using the right gear, revs, clutch etc. Theres always grip to be found somewhere!

Montesa 4RT Best bike you have ever owned? I think people give the 4rt a bit of a hard time but i have had my 4RT since new (2005) and has not missed a beat! Build quality is un-beatable and in my opinion the best bike for grip around! Excellent suspension, ride, and looks! I think they deserve a bit more credit for a 6 year old design!
