Hello From Suffolk
Hello from someone in norfolk! I would have been at the dabbers this weekend but sadly cant make it; Its a friendly club, and well worth joining. I did my first trial with them this January and observed at the last trial. They are primarily set up for pre-mono bikes though, so spaces for mono's at trials are limited - they are however looking at running more for mono's in the future. Go you steady, Andrew

Exhuast And Tyre Rub
Mine does it as well, especially when landing off the sleeper pile. I dont worry about it. maybe put a sticker on the face of the exhaust to see how much rub you actually get? personally, I wouldn't worry............... .............. I worry more about chain rub when I have a fat supermoto wheel on the dirtbike, but thats kind of normal too

What Did You Do To Your Gas Gas Today?
After riding some 'home-made' sections at my mates place yesterday, the Gas Gas has been treated to new gearbox oil and brake fluid front and rear (not sure that this has been ever changed judging by the condition of it ['marmalade']). I am using putoline light gear oil again and am pleased with how it makes the bike feel. On the fettling front, I have cut out the reinforcing sections on the underside of a repaired rear fender; this makes it super flexible to the extent that it does this without cracking.............. this was tried and tested yesterday on at least a couple of occasions

1981 Fantic 200
Hi all, I own a gas gas txt pro but am looking at a fantic 200 so I can do trials with the local club............... ................ basically, is the 1981 200 a good bike and is it a good twin shock for someone that has only been riding (or attempting to) ride trials since latter end of last year? I havent seen the bike yet, but it belongs to one of the club organisers, has had an engine rebuild and has not been 'restored' thanks Andrew
