[How good to do ssdt?]

You could always offer your services to observe or back mark at the SSDT you'll get to see the terrain and the sections and a feel for the event. Looking briefly at sections then riding them wearing a back pack is very strange the first few times you do it, then there's the time and the length of the sections and moorland crossings. Definatley worth a trip up to gain an insight

[BSA frame identification.]

That's nice. Try the BSA Otter site, Charlie the site owner is very helpful and has a wealth of knowledge and archives he refers to

 

[Is it just me?]

This topic is killing me. I recently attempted to get tickets for a friend and his wife to whatch 90 minutes of Newcastle playing Tottingham at Wembley stadium and the tikets, if I could have got them, were £87.00 each. I really think that's to do with Brexit too!!!!

Well they came second which is better than the 250th place my son got in the Scottish.

As a few up here would say they did no bad.

Brilliant achievement to finish The SSDT

[Anyone know about this?]

Your entries shouldn't be affected, It's not a football tournament Scotland have been in since 1998

[4rt improvement underway. Any thoughts ?]

Mitani exhaust is a massive saving on weight, seems to run a little smoother and looks great. Will you need two? It might not be such a good idea to do everything at once, if something isn't working for your riding style you won't know what it is. Think i would rather put new Michelin's on the back more often than put a big bore kit on. Titanium hollow spindles, now they are great when you fall off you can see right through them.

[Toby Martin to a Montesa?]

He isn't going to Montesa, He looks to be getting Eddie Karlson's ride on a Montesa at RG

Intro. Hi, I’ve been into trials for a year and a half, started on an old gasser 250 1999, then bought a 04 Sherco 290 and rebuilt it to ride, but ended up getting a 66 plate Montesa 4RT which I ride regularly, joined SDMCC and ride practice with some great people at Poles Wood in Essex. I’m 52 and still bounce quite well. 

Monty Wise One, are you saying you only have one bike, not two? 

[New Van Trials Chocks]

Depending on your van. You can place front tyre against bulkhead, put bike in 1st and use ratchet ties from each side of handlebar. You can also put bike on lock with front wheel in a corner and tie down from both sides of handlebar.

I built a metal frame from box section steel that slots in and out and it takes 3 bikes and spare wheels and leaves the front of the van clean to change in (Transit) idea pinched from Bill Pye, thanks Bill!

These work well https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorbike-WHEEL-CHOCK-Motorcycle-Anchor/dp/B00KRDO0LU/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_263_lp_img_3/260-9675505-0768500?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=S1A6E3KAD630YQ54A66D

[New Cota 348 Owner]

The 348 had frame tubes under the engine. The frame in your pic is a 349 the later model. Bultaco is a different make of spanish trials bike. Google Montesa 349 you should find plenty info

[Icmtr Pre 65 Trials Rules]

So you would allow tubeless rims and tyres!

There is no mention of electronic ignition, I doubt you'd find many machines still with points.

[Bantam Forks For Scottish Pre65]

Charlie

That film has obviously cast a spell on your ability to read and digest what this thread is about. The title gives you a clue.

bantam forks for pre 65 Scottish!!!!!

Ady then said my Dad wants to ride the pre 65 scottish in 2015

Willie in his very comprehensive reply said IF you are building for Scotland

No one has to enter scotland, but everyone wants to, otherwise there wouldnt be so many bitter grumpy moaners about

[What Terrain Is Local To You?]

If you don't mind travelling and staying overnight you should consider Scotland.as well

Some brilliant two day events, and you know you've been in a trial when you've ridden a couple of 20 mile laps, offroad, each day.

Hospitality is excellent too, you'd be made very welcome

[Young Riders Insurance/registering]

Might be worth trying Carole Nash they gave me a good quote

Windlestone1 - Assume as he's 19 it's an A2 license fine to ride any motorcycle not exceeding 35 kW and with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.2 kW/kg.

Looks like i've lost the plot.

I'm convinced i read the original post and couldn't see an age.

I'm blaming it on travelling to Southend to often lately!!!

I'd still say it's worth contacting Malcolm Rathmell Sport though, they do have insurance contacts for sherco's that are very competitive.

[Young Riders Insurance/registering]

You may not be eligible to ride a 300 on the road, depending on your age.

The laws have changed this year, you may only be eligible to ride a 125 depending on your age

MRS will probably have an insurance contact that recognises Sherco's, might be worth a try
