Don't know how far round the lap was but they had 12.5 mins per section. Did the pro class get held up by the 125s on their second lap ?

Id prefer you can have any rules you like as long as you organise the trial. Then about 85% of the noise on this subject will disappear

You have to try boots on before you buy really. Lots of people like Gaernes but I cant wear them, last pair took the skin off my ankle. Alpinestars I found really comfy but didn't last long. I like the sidi boots best.

Kickstart was an indoor run outdoors in a lot of ways. We currently have both world championships on the tv. This is what so many fail to grasp when saying we need more spectacular sections, we need more exposure. We actually have more coverage and more spectacular sections than ever before. But as an exercise in selling bikes both wtc's fail. As for rules the indoor allows stopping and reversing so why aren't the dealers selling bikes if stop permitted is what young riders want. Still plenty stop permitted trials about.

After slating them for years I might just by a 4rt to see who can come up with the best comments ! If I had to have a 4t it would be the beta 300

Seen some which use coloured gauze to strengthen the repair, they seem ok

Perce is right the sport has far bigger issues than petty squabbling over rules. I have said this previously. Environmental issues wont go away with stop / no stop or economic recovery. And the over 40s are rapidly turning 50 in my part of the world. Precious few young riders and thats not down to rules

It says ridsdale in TMX

Thanks Gii I was in town when I saw this and thought people would come across the trial before they got to Ridsdale. Im not in the club either just trying to help as you are.

Its off the A68 near Redesdale. Take the a68 north from stagshaw junction between Corbridge and hexham on a69. Venue is dry / rocky and I think is only used once a year. Relatively short course good for easy course riders

Neo Perce is trying to tell you the 320 four stroke sherco is rubbish. Heavier yes but also difficult to ride, quite lumpy power, engine braking like other 4ts and wont start when hot. We are trying to help you bud.

Copey is a sherco man, always has been on tc. I have tried montesa beta gas gas scorpa and sherco over the last twelve years. Out of all of them I prefer the Gas Gas to ride and maintain based on my own experience. None of the bikes are really better or worse its just down to preference on the part of the person buying the bike.

Not sure if it will be 2016 / 17 but the winner may also get the best over 40 award shortly.. ..

Anyone tried to change ignition maps on a production 4rt with their phone ?

I think the early GG Enduro motor is similar to a cr250. So its maybe that motor not the pro.

Im not saying dont fit one, I have one on my bike. I am saying be careful until you get used to it.

Lanyards take some getting used to. Some people have been known to wave to a friend and inadvertently cut the motor in a high gear with only one hand on the bar. Most of us have ridden for years without one, it will take time.

Manufacturers fail through not selling enough bikes and parts or by spending too much on R&D and riders. I think the problem now is that whilst participation is up a lot of people never buy a new bike anymore. New bike prices need to come down for more sales to be achieved but manufacturers dont realise that. £5000 for a new standard bike is a lot for most people. So manufacturers need to reduce costs or the supply chain between themselves and the customer or increase income in other ways.

Id probably have the weight on but depends how good a rider you are. If you usually ride without one stick to what you are used to as you dont have time to adapt.

What cc Beta ?

My local dealer lent me a 2014 250 recently when my old yam died at a trial. I rode two trials on it and marked out another two. Probably put about 8 tanks of juice through it to give an idea of mileage. It started first or second kick every time, no issues with clutch or gearbox at all. Apart from oiling the chain and checking the filter I didn't have to touch it. Just my recent experience to bring a bit of balance to the thread.

North East trials have a lot of new starters at the minute, you sound like the latest !

No Gubian in Japan ?

Is the clutch arm still underneath

I live about three miles away will drop you a line.
