baldilocks

how about Duel by Propaganda seen as Moffster didnt play it at the SSDT, unless I missed it ?

cheers lads when are the entries out again ???????

I'm still trying to get copemech to the SSDT, I havent given up yet mate Pats minder ? why not.......

talking to Killer Kendrew he said cabestany had enjoyed it his return depends on how it fits into the world schedule.

thats George Shorter your referring to now a regular observer at NE centre trials top fella. He had a heart attack in the 84 ssdt I think near blackwater but did his last ssdt in 89 or 90.

he did but in was indoors I have never lost any marks in an indoor WTC round but thats not quite the same thing ........

or, and this is normally 100% accurate if its raining Baldilocks is riding easy to understand !

I dont think Bou is a headache to the organisers set the trial to take 20 - 30 off raga, cabs, fajardo etc, Bou will still win by 10 to 20 marks and the spectators will have had somthing worth watching. If Bou doesnt win then all the better in terms of making it interesting for the spectator, he'll still win the series. simples !

I think the time limit of 1 minute could be a good thing in time with appropriate sections. I think Dougie referred to having to rush, I thought the lack of time would lead to smaller obstacles but in Spain it didnt appear to looking at the results. At 1.30 per section there was still a lot of balancing going on. No matter what the rules are a clerk of the course can get it wrong, looks like the people in spain did to me.

Hi Double A whats your riding number ? I'm number 258, see you in fort william. if you are near Carlos follow him !

was thinkin of donating the footrests off my bike hardly used, like brand new, only cleaned the parade in the ssdt last year!

you'll be takin the pee out of me a lot sooner that saturday ishy we are focussing on enjoyment at all costs this year, laughing is good so lets do lots !

Actually Ishy I'm hoping you dont get lost saturday morning as your one of the 27 riders in front of me. If you dont get up callart falls the first time feel free to have a few more goes mate, free lucozade for your first clean ! see you monday morning if not before

watch the video on the Gas Gas USa site, its also on youtube search under Gas Gas Pro it takes you through splitting the motor step by step, really helpful.

I heard also that Andy Metcalfe's shop in East Yorkshire has had a similar visit recently, equally bad for him. As riders we rely on our dealers so this affects us all. The Scorpa 250f wasnt very common so it makes me think these are going abroad, presumably anyone in the UK trials community would now the bike was stolen if it came up.

You lot must never ride I jet wash the bike after every ride, cover the chain in WD40 afterwards and then apply chain lube before the next ride once the WD40 has got rid of the moisture. I get 6 months max out of a set of sprockets and I dont like to fit a worn chain to new sprockets so the chain goes every 6 months as well. talon sprockets and either renthal or regina chain I cant see me getting a year out of a set never mind four or five years

Right folks I have been considering a twin shock for some time and I'm thinking of getting one for the summer months to see if I enjoy it more than the Gas Gas I currently have. A combination of getting Bernies book off santa many years ago and SWMs being in short supply when my dad was a dealer for them meant that although I always wanted one I never actually owned an SWM. So if I go the twinshock route the SWM seems a likely candidate I have been offered a frame yokes and a seat /tank unit from a 280 but whats the chances of locating a motor ? will early air cooled aprillia rotax motor fit or the armstrong rotax ? I assume the Gori one will ??

I'll be working the next two weekends so my bike training is about done, going to try and get to the gym and go for a run a couple of times a week work permitting. I always do as little as possibe the week before and start loading carbs as soon as I get to the Fort. I normally find Stella quite effective as its in liquid form....... looking forward to it now whatever the weather

A rather younger Mr Birkett has ridden an Ossa before in the early 70's Big John may be able to confirm the year as I think he rode it in the SSDT

thats one of the bad bits I looked at one recently and on full lock the fork or yoke makes contact with the top of the radiator before anything else. thats not good.

where there any hills in the colmore ?

there may be some mild pee taking in this thread of my local community. However Mr Grieg has actually improved........ I have rarely been as insulted as when he referred to Cota Kid as a Geordie the blokes from teeside for heavens sake !

Hi well as nobody else is feeling very friendly welcome to the site. loads of info on here on the different bikes I dont live far from Newcastle so can advise on clubs / dealers / where to ride

Have you checked the float height ? also try cleaning the in line filter thats in the carb body where the fuel hose connects. As motomerlin said you dont need to spend
