as well as tasting great most of that is 20% cheaper as of today ! Result

what a venue for a trial ! thanks for the video

Can you stop making this personal, yes you like your OSSA, nothing wrong with that but its not as if Dabster is actually making stuff up is it?

Bou's crash is a bit spectacular on facebook, section 4.I havent got enough fingers to attempt that (or ability before somebody reminds me). seems a bit too dangerous

hard rounds really show the gaps. bou does the second lap for 7 !!!

yes and surely going backwards under stop permitted is a five but that happens every week. either set of rules applied on a zero tolerance basis will result in much higher scores. observers apply flexibility to account, occaisionally, for sections that are actually too hard. Over time this has contributed to sections getting harder as when the coc looks at the results he thinks lots of people got through the section. In reality they should have been fives and next year that section needs to be easier. i'm not chipping into this as a btc rider but i have posted as this is an issue for trials in general. If we want no latitude from the obervers then section severity has to reduce.

to ensure their children eat their greens ?

in wor terms Ham its nee better than a carb you could set your carb, eat a ham and pease pudding stottie, walk the whippet and doon a bottle o broon faster than driving to the dealers to speed up ya tickover. really it is progress but the owner needs to be able to program it at home, most of us have jobs so are at work when the dealers open.

Mr Greig you are a poor ad for the scottish education system. Surely the odds or probability cannot exceed 276 to 1. Oh Im going to regret this !

lost a bit of weight been training for once so the infamous one piece is now baggy. looks even worse.... hopefully observer will be laughing so hard he miss my odd dab !

who do you think will win ssdt ? be nice to see pune do it this year

how about Vestys Bulto built for the 83 SSDT ?

Actually the practice lap can really help with the consistency of the trial and is only fair if its based on slippy northern streams. If your the first man away on the championship course then your riding a different trial to the guy at the back of the field. this is the problem with the outodoors, Bou and Raga are riding most sections first and still outside the top 5 the gap is huge. I dont beleive the current riders in the WTC outside the top 5 can close the gap to Bou, it needs somebody younger than Bou who is still probably in 125's or has only been in juniors a year or so. Not seeking cause any offence in saying that but I think its linked to this topic. I can t justify the BTC being so hard that only 3 riders can realistically compete for the win if its not getting them near the podium on the world scene. Its not as if the BTC hasnt been that hard for a while so if thats the way to create the next british world champ what else is wrong ?? As others have said we need to decide what is the purpose of the BTC, what are we as a sport trying to achieve ? Perhaps the acu have and its their role along with other interested parties to do that. As a concept finding the best rider across the range of terrain in the uk seems a reasonable idea ?? From the round slippy rocks of Scotland to the mud of the South and everything in between !

front pipe looks like a different brand ? i like the way the front brake lever is already bent to save you having to drop it yourself ! given some issues with formula that new hope kit might be the way forward, great business oppurtunity for them

To be fair the british champiosnship was based on the world round severity and outside of the top 3 you couldnt really make it much harder looking at the scores last year. I have said this before but its worth repeating, our current riders with the previous years format couldnt make it into the top 5 at the WTC anyway so why spoil the national series? In my view the WTC is knackered within the next 2 years, theres not enough money and when cabs / raga and fuji retire theres going to be Toni Bou and the rest will be miles away unless the section severity reduces. Perhaps we are ahead of the game in recognising replicating wtc is a blind alley in terms of participation. Trials IS a participation sport, people watching buy naff all.....

fixed now Ross

We are having a few technical problems but if any body wants regs just send me a PM with your email and i'll send you a set of regs. cheers

I'm going this year, first time I 'll have ridden outside the UK so looking forward to it. Couple of my mates are doing S3 route, I'm doing S2. apart from stop in Calais and stock up on drink any tips chewy ?

Yikes Gizza they are louder than a 4RT !

When papa was importing the original JCMs and I was a younger version of the gobsh*te I currently am i did point out that JCM stood for Jesus Christ Motorcycles........ and before anybody corrects me yes I do realise its Joel Corroy Motorcycles or Moto. Despite being called Joel he didnt appear to be Supermans dad when i met him ? keep the faith Wayne !

I've got an 06 trafic lwb but fitted my own seats (or rather CB Motors did) I meaured the floor area so that the seats were as far back as possible from the front seats but still allowing enough space for 3 bikes in the back. I'd recommend doing it this way as you end up with 5 or 6 seats and load space you want. Its not as easy to insure but Adrian Flux have insured mine at about £450 from memory, i was paying almost the same for the S reg master I had before the trafic so i'm happy enough with the insurance cost and the van does what I need it to do.

Excluding the Toni Bou Class which country has won the most 125, junior and european championships in recent years ? probably Spain or UK I would think. Ok maybe not this year for Euro as neither Shepard or Jonathan Rich rode round 1 but hopefully they will both be fit for first WTC round. I'm sure Theirry Michaud was asking what the UKs secret was a couple of years ago.

Entry forms are now available and will shortly be on the Trials Central Calender, Bedlington Motor Club Facebook page and Bedlington Motor Club Website http://www.bedlingtonmotorclub.co.uk I have visited the venue last weekend and we now have a further 10 sections on the existing land compared to last year. We are due to have a look around the adjoining forest at the end of May ( most of the club members are in either SSDT or Pre 65 SSDT mode at present !) but as it stands we have sufficient sections for two laps of 20 different sections each day. Once the weather improves we will provide some pics of the new stuff. If you search TC archives for Alwinton you will find the results from last year with photos by Ray Crinson which will provide a good insight into the quality of the location. Hope to hear form you soon !

did some investigating today and started by cutting a v shape out of the pipe in the prescribed place as my new sherco had ran lean on a couple of steeper sections last week . I thought given the pilot jet is in front of the main jet that perhaps float hieght was wrong but the cut in the pipe was easy to try first. I did the cut then put the bike on the rear wheel with the front up against a wall and after 15 seconds or so bike started to run lean. So stripped carb and checked float per Beta guidance in the Beta forum, my floats were parralel when the carb was upside down rather than at 45 degrees so adjusted carb and bike seems ok but will know better tomorrow.

sold that carb a couple of years ago unfortunately. keihin on my new sherco doesnt have this feature. ta anyway
