we all had an excellent day. very good course well set out sections great crack, or is it craic? the least we could do was bring some good weather with us

There's a Sharabang full of us coming up from the Toon. We had a brilliant time last year

Buy Elf. you dont need to change it as often. I found ATF makes bike really dificult to start in gear and clutch is a nightmare

Why not get competitors to hand their entry forms in,for enter on the day events, with their bike present. The event secretary takes a quick look, if the bike is too trick then they enter in the Specials class. Events secretary's decision is final. The other difficuly is the sections we are marking out these days are not always standard pre 65 or twinshock friendly.

Hi Taff The trials riders in the North East centre aren't being ignorant, we just haven't had any confirmation where the trial is to be held. It usually runs, weather permitting, at Ayle, near Alston, which is actually in Cumbria. It's a cracking venue with mostly rocky stream sections, but it's a small venue.

give Colin Batts a call and ask him what he found was wrong with the one he looked at for mr larkin. i cant remember what they diagnosed but it had a similar problem and he cured it

Read the title and thought i was going to swap my Aran jumper for a pair of Oakleys

4rt's have a 'limp home mode' when the engine is overheating the ECU will shut down the performance. you can only rev a little then it will cut out run terrible. It will run perfectly on low revs to get you back to the van. The symptoms Bunny described sounded like a plug today but now reading this it's more likely to have been running too hot. when the engine was off to have the plug changed it cooled down enough to run properly again. Tell him to try turning the engine off in quesues in future

If your club isnt affilliated to the ACU you shouldn't be signing riders ACU licence renewal forms! Any rider who submits a form for a 2012 licence will require a Club Membership and a unique code number. The ACU licencing department are contacting club secretary's to verify riders are members before issuing riders a licence. It's working really well

11th december 2011 Consett and DMC will be running conducted classes for youths. Trial will be held at Butsfield Quarry just off the A68

Yes you can enter on the day Ross. Sandwich van in attendance too I'll look out for you on Sunday, fairly sure we were chatting before the Alwinton Two day, if you rode your SWM there

Hi Ross There's generally a Hard, Clubman and Easy course. There will be at least a couple of Cubs, a C15t and I would guestimate around 4 twinshocks. Bedlington usually put in lots of nice long sections using rocky gullies and streams with a mix of hillsides, weather permitting, and rocky outcrops. Ideal for Pre 65 and Twinshocks.

I emailed the ACU on 10/11/2011, last Thursday. I received a very nice reply within two hours which included our numbers. We have had our numbers sent to us prior to my email but have provided the ACU with the wrong email address. Trials is a relatively small community, the ACU are a great help and benefit to clubs, it would have taken the same time to email them directly and ask where your club numbers are as it would to type negative comments on Trials Central forums.

Gordon was kind enough to set up my clutch. Billet ally clutch cover, springs were already in so i don't know if they are standard or stronger. DTI on top face of clutch cover near basket, magnetic base stuck to frame. Pull and hold in clutch while kicking over using kickstart The less adjustment on the springs, means less pressure, making a lighter clutch Mark the pressure plate 1,2 and 3 to help identify springs to tension Use 100mm of oil in clutch, just enough to keep the chain wet. Some folk use ATF Appologies for butting in but Gordon may be on holiday now

There will be a conducted TY 80 course at Consett Clubs Buttsfield Quarry Trial on Saturday 15/10/2011. Start time is 12 Noon

Yes ACU Licences are required. Anyone without a Licence can pay

On Saturday 08/10/2011 Stanley Trials Club are holding a trial at Oxenlaw near Castleside just off the A68. There will be a seperate TY80 course. Bring the kids along and have some fun Start 12 Noon

Check the threads are ok in your outer plate, the one your adjuster screws through, they tend to strip and clutch appears adjusted fine till you start riding

WTF is Gateshead? Far too close to Ham2 for comfort. There is excellent coverage of all upcoming events and results on Trials Central for the North East Centre. Plenty of clubs for you to join, most have a £5 a year subscription fee, all are very friendly. Look up the contact details on the TC events calander and call the secretary or turn up at an event to join a club. You MUST have an ACU Competition License to enter any events in the North East, £10. Download the form from the ACU website and ask the secretary of your chosen club to stamp it and sign it.

Thanks Glenn I was hoping your event would attract folk from other parts of the UK. Was a tad worried that some people reading 'it will be challenging for pre 65's' might stay away. We could do with, and i would welcome, a great two day event catering for the masses, to make it financially viable, but also catering for the growing number of twin shocks and Pre 65's in our region and farther afield. You already have a cracking piece of land and with more added it can only get better. Who know's even Ham2 might turn out! My entry is winging it's way in .....no i didn't say winge..ing before you say it. Please keep us posted

Entry forms state seperate route for Easy, Pre 65 and Twinshocks. As you're judgement seems somewhat clouded of late, i.e. Bannana Suit, I've gone above your head and have it on the good authority of Harry Craig Pre 65's and Twin shocks will have good courses to ride. You want a fiver on me getting the Cub further up the hill than you?

What a load of B*!!*(ks The sight is run fairly There are lots of partial and impartial views in every bike forum on the site. I'm sure the owner and the moderators would agree that one of the benefits of Trialscentral is the information that can be shared amongst the trials community. Every model from every make has it's faults. Will a Gas Gas or Beta or Montesa or Scorpa dealer give a fair view of any other marques? Would you spend your hard earned cash on a new bike then say it was rubbish? Even if you didn't like it you'd want to sell it so wouldn't list faults. I have heard there were initial problems with the Ossa 280's but i was in Scotland, they sounded lovely all week, they seemed to grip like crazy, or was that the riders. I haven't counted how many entered compared to how many finished but they all seemed to be going very well. Read some earlier threads, they seem to be on top of development and not afraid to make changes
