swb hi roof is the tool you want i have that and a trafic the trannie is just as high as the trafic and will take two bikes

i went to dave varley http://www.dcclassicmotorcycles.co.uk/ and he put me in touch with the guy who builds up his forks for him. i got mazzochi internals in triumph sliders with billet yokes and roller bearings fitted to my bike and delivered for the price of .. well if you have to ask you cant afford .. but they are the bogs bo####ks and as good as you can get.. cant reccomend dave high enough knows his stuff and always ready to deal..

gasser talks of a problem that affected 03 two strokes and has being discussed here before. the cure was cover replacement price

best 'trials' photos ever.. fantastic

look at a football analogy i follow a non league team and we pay about 3 quid a game to watch we also watch bradford city occasionally at 13 quid but wont pay 17 to watch rochdale which is only 2 mile away we would and have paid 28 quid to watch man utd the most i've paid was 75 at the old wembley and i would have paid 10 times that if i'd had to to see bradford win again a tenner seems fair for club trials my club make a small profit each year at that for a top class trial and venue i might pay 25 occasionally if asked but as an average i'll happily stick my tenner in for 4 laps of a field or 4 laps of the perfect venue as a happy average

you can still use ''the flappit'' on the keighley/ halifax road just south of denholme , its massive FREE but there are often reports of stolen bikes and damage to cars though in 15 years i've not experienced either at weekends its mentally busy during the week you can hear a pin drop ( just avoid the earth movers and stone crushers)

I posted previously a similar answer before but we keep going round in circles as if we're deciding if Elvis is alive... its not hard to say what does or does not qualify..... if it wasnt made pre 65 you cant have it, end of.... the onus of proof falling on the rider that would be documentary contempory evidence, not somebodies recent recollection but only documents from pre 65 themselves HOW HARD WAS THAT... cant be done??? ask the production car rally drivers who have to carry brochures sales literarture to produce if/ when challenged.. and they said it would be too difficult.... whats next world peace or deciding whose the best looking one in ''Girls Aloud''..

i have every Scott programme from the 50's... quote me some names and i'll let you know..

1953 Scott programme list 15 DOT's All Bar 5 from N.E 2 from manchester 1 from bedford 2 from penrith

taking greeves breakdown of nationalities a step further, yorks classic,as surely the countrys biggest p65 club, has the majority of riders (even without several stalwart regulars making the cut..) it is interesting to see the same number again of yorks classic members entered under other clubs.. a deliberate ploy perhaps to avoid the ''theres too many of them yorkies in it...'' claim however if they are true yorkshire men i cant see them stumping up twice for club membership...

i think i'm right in saying that duncan was part also of Pace mountain bikes originally and they were very effective simple square section alloy tubing machined on the outside to achieve strength at the welds and light weight wher less critical excellent cult bikes but sooooo expensive about 1000 pounds a frame back in 1990 when i had one.. the modern ones are only 500 pound a time and much more sophisticated ah to be younger..

a regional classic trials 'clubman' class has been won by the same rider for the last umpteen years, but then if you dont want to do the harder sections why should you, and at least it gives us lesser lights something/one to aim for...

well stick lad you make some valid points, move overseas or have an overseas address, (i know someone who does that), ride a pre unit ( nothing wrong with encouraging that) ride obscure bike( nothing wrong with that if the thing actually did exist and was ridden in Scotland pre 65) have your daughter ride with you ( well only a couple fall into this catagory and one daughter who rides with her dad will beat you and me any time so thats ok by me) post from scotland (nowt wrong with that it is the 'scottish trial') pop your entry in with a stars... well if you must for the rest of us try observing a couple of years that ought to help or if you've missed out more than a couple of times why not drop them a line and ask why...

its not called electrickery for nothing

the number of trials and motox bikes i 'discover' in kitchens 'dining rooms' on community housing estates is frankly unbelievable, TWO brand new Kwakers MX in one kitchen being the record....

leaving bikes as well as locking up , even chained in the van, i always take the plug out so at least the buggers have to push the thing

everbody else might as well not bother then... no doubt you'll be refunding entries from now till the start////

get on e-bay and the local free papers, top tip get down your local council not the offices but where the electrcians, central heating, roofers start work each day put some posters up with pic's in the canteen offer a decent cash reward, then you have dozens of eager lads with access to the homes of dozens of the most likely characters in your area

wh smith have a whizz bang computer which follows sales trends and only orders the number sold previuosly unless overidden by the buyer (either up or down and frankly something that rarely/never happens) i suspect that many of our local wh smiths dont move many if any coppies and that is reflected by the no.s in local shops...

i think the fuel tank mod could be an oil tank...

fuse wire thro the jet worked a treat on mine...... seriously.... best of all total cost NOWT

or riders using more than 1 bike.... seen riders on same make and model but different bike..

once fell out the side of a moving vw transporter that we were delivering milk from .. the fall didnt hurt as much as the half dozen crates of milk falling out on top of me.. made the road white i'll tell you. as for dealing drugs my mrs does that legally.. and i'm not doing anything today, the rains coming down and the mrs has gone xmas shopping, now whats on the telly...

Riding round Europe 10 years ago I met a guy just like this, he was managing a camp site North of Provance. he'd tired of the rat race in uk, remortgaged his house deposited the cash and withdrew it in cash over 3 months, bought a cracking big estate car on HP taken out a hefty personal loan and then caught the ferry never to be seen or heard of in Blighty again, he was actually running for the local town council in France at the time I met him... was he a bad man or someone who saw an opportunity to take advantage of those willing to give easy credit.. Myself I jumped off the bus in Mid April, left a high earning job managing 500 people and now work what hours i want when i want as hard as i want foresaking the latest this and that and devoting myself to the mrs and kids... never felt better.. never been better off (its just the definition thats changed....)
