Just wondering who's got an entry for the 05 from the TC crew. I've spotted the following regulars: Me, Kinell, Bigfoot, Ishy, Gizza 5, Hughesy, Scottie and Perce. Any more out there?

Tell me about it!!

I haven't got a clue who M4RT is but I did notice his name changing at the bottom of his later post on this topic here.

I haven't got a photo but I can get one within the next day or two.... Hang on, I've got one for now..... Just need to do a bit of trickery pokery... There! The red circle is where the flap bolts on with three bolts to the lower part of the airbox.

It was. Here it is about to fall some 8 to 10ft down to the bottom of the steep step at Whitches Burn during th 04 SSDT. I've posted this pic before so appologies to all that have seen it before.

Rubbish! You'll have no problems with it. Yes, its not flat but it if you fit a flat one then you'll lose clearance. The '02 model hade the most major upgrade I believe. You can see some of the differances in my photo's Note: Forks and silencer on the 01, swinging arm on '02. Now look at the '03, see what I mean? Marky G, have you been to Markyboy's web site, Wizardpaintwerx Here's a photo of one of his bikes.

There was some fairley major changes from the first bikes to the present. To the best of my knowledge the exhaust was change from 02 to 03, along with swinging arm. The forks were also change, an 03 has three bolts at the bottom against the 2 on the 02. 01 models are white and silver, like this. This is an 02. This is an 03. This is a n 04. So, main differance, 01 is white, 02 has 250 on seat, 03 has new forks, exhaust mods and swinging arm, 04 has blue frame. No major problems with them, as for uk models, very hard to tell. There was some bikes brought in from Spain (I think?), they have a lighter flywheel. Don't know how to spot one though. Best bet is to speak to Crosser at Scorpa UK.

I'm with trialero! By the way, will I meet you in May at Ft William?

Yeh, whatever!

Thsi was talked about some time ago, you can find it here I would say your best bet would be a Yamaha TY250 or TYZ if you can stretch to it.

Just to pick up on something mentioned earlier, is the price for an ACU licence

I am aware of all this. As I stated in my post, I understand there are some riders that are interseted in more than one area of sport but why not send a set of rules with each type of license applied for, These rules could be produced on a pamphlet at a fraction of the cost. This book could be produced for way less and I think its awful that we have no choice but to bite the bullet and pay the

I'd like to add some more about the handbook. I fully realise what the book is about and that we should all be fully aware that its contents apply to us as riders. However, it is not an interesting read, infact it reminds me of the type of forms we receive from banks etc. In addation, why should I, as a trials rider, who has purchased a license to compete solely in trials, be subjected to the rules and regs of all the other disciplines of motorcylce sport? I'm sure there are some riders out there that are interested but I see no fair and logical reason why I should have to pay for a glossy handbook which contains very little about the sport that I take part in. I'm sure the book could be produced for less, its a big glossy book, why? I bet the book is not sold at cost either!

Not an expert on it but.... Some of the money from the SACU licence goes towards the club somehow (not sure on what, maybe insurance?). At ACU events it is incorperated in the cost of each individual trial. Having said that though, the trials in Scotland are not cheaper (as in per event) than in England. Can't remember how much I've paid in England but I seem to recall the TC trial being

It's not that loud really. Its no way near as loud as my KTM, and to be honest, I don't think is any louder than any in-line 4 600+ road bike.

As reported in this topic.

Give it a go mate, Gary Mac did his best last year with a knacked wrist.... But he had to pull out midway through.

They might want to discontinue the SY/TYZ lump. Its getting long in the tooth and expensive for both Yamaha and Scorpa.

Here it is!

Echoing Ishys comment, the flywheel is crucial to most UK riding, IMHO. It

On hill climbs or when riding for a long time on one open throttle setting you are using the main jet in the carb. Give it a good blow through with an air line, sounds like you may need to spend some time setting up the carb too.

Well said Hughesy!!
