  1. This came with my own Speedy and I've been meaning to post it for some time, the last two pages make for good in the field findings. From reading thru it appears it must of originated from a US dealer due to the mention of Watkins Glen world round.

     

     

    Enjoy :)

  2. When I do a slow full lock turn I turn my head far enough so I can see my rear fender, this brings around my shoulders and sticks my ass out the other side... the first time I did it I couldn't believe the difference it made, it was a real "aha" moment for me. It is always great when you are riding with a more advanced rider and they give you tips like that to help illustrate what you are doing wrong.

    Great tip, tried it this afternoon!....along the lines 0f "look where you are going, not where you are".

  3. Sorry forgot to mention other than the idle four stroking she carburates sweet as and picks up from nothing and will chug up hill on idle to.....revving out she sounds like she is running a little lean if anything.

    Running 50:1 full synthetic Putolene no excess smoke.

    The carb was brand new before I bought her so I need to check specs.

  4. Last time I looked the ACU required a trials helmet to comply with the same standards as for road use.

     

    The minimum requirement for a UK rider to take part in an ACU event is for the helmet to have a Silver or Gold ACU sticker for off-road events and a Gold ACU Sticker for events on tarmac or other hard surface.  Helmets are independently tested prior to receiving the appropriate sticker approval, in addition to any statutory approval required (CE22.05).  Trials competitors may use any appropriate helmet.
